The requirements of presses for the production of parts from metal powder are listed. The historical development of modern presses from the early adaptations is described, their features being related to the demand for large and more complex shapes and the use of powders that are not easily formed. Reference is made to the difference in approach shown in the American multi-motion presses and the Continental combination of simple presses with complex tools used as a sub-press assembly.
