Tool making challenges often require the use of special and sophisticated material treatment techniques. Metallurgists are material specialists who simulate and manage the changes of material characteristics.

They use computers and test equipment to collect and analyse data about aspects such as material strengths. They use computer aided design or CAD systems to assist them in designing and creating realistic models of products in order to identify any potential problems before commencing with production.
