In powder metallurgy, the design and fabrication of the die-set are crucial steps because the die characteristics and form directly impact the finished product. The current study aims to design and fabricate a die-set for cold compression to produce a cylindrical specimen or green pallet. The compaction die-set is a deciding aspect of the powder metallurgy process since it is used to shape the loose powder to the desired shape. The die-set is developed according to ASTM requirements and AISI D3 steel has been used as raw material for it. The study demonstrates the design considerations, computations, 2-D drawings, and 3-D models of die-set. To fabricate the die, facing, turning, drilling, grinding, wire-cut EDM and heat Treatment operations were used. The design has been further analyzed using Solidworks 14 and ANSYS 2023R1
