Abstract
A workpiece production apparatus includes a stationary die assembly and a movable die assembly. The stationary die assembly includes a stationary die body and a die. The movable die assembly includes a movable die body, a shaping punch, a blanking punch, a first pushing member, and a second pushing member, which has a higher rigidity than the first pushing member. The workpiece production apparatus is configured to bring the movable die assembly close to the stationary die assembly, thereby sequentially performing pre-shaping of a plate, punching-out of a workpiece from the plate, and final shaping of the workpiece by pushing the shaping punch with a distal end of the second pushing member in conjunction with compressive deformation of the first pushing member.
