This article is aimed primarily at establishing a process planning method for complex circular shells. For the deep drawing of complex shaped shell, the optimum process design is required to reduce the trial cost improve the quality, increase the productivity and shorten the delivery. The present approach which is related to the optimum process planning is based on the empirical knowledge through trial and error in the industrial field. In order to check the validity and the effectiveness of proposed work a sample process design has been applied to the multi-stepped deep drawing of com-plex shell considering the process variables such as drawing rate radius and blank development. In particular the difference between the limiting drawing rate and to optimum drawing rate has been discussed and the usefulness of present suggestion has been shown.
