This paper deals with forming of the brass cups. Although brass pressing is very widespread, pressing of cups is not described in more detail in the literature. Existing tooling does not achieve the required accuracy of today's production. Development of new and improved tools are now limited to modifications of existing with uncertain results. This article compares several types of forming tools, which are used for forming of the bass cups, and their influence on the product tolerances. For each tool, the response to change of the input parameters such, as the thickness of the input plate, is also considered. The results are compared with real measured products. The individual tool shapes are analyzed by the Deform 3D software.
