The purpose of this paper is to obtain the effect of blankholding force in deep drawing process. Flange deformation is analysed by theoretical approach in order to apply the optimum blankholding force to the blank. As the result, the upper and lower blankholding force is determined in terms of variables in deep drawing process. Experiment are carried out with the high stiffness spring-type blankholder system. Theoretical upper blankholding force are relatively good agreement with experimental result and the range of initial blankholding forces for various materials tested are found by experiment.
