I recall, way back in engineering school, that extremely deep
draws by using an appropriately shaped blast lens that focuses
the wave front. The lens sits above the charge and reflects
the blast energy that is vectored upward and away from the
work back down into the die.
That must be fun work. Anything that goes boom.
