Metal stamping is a cost-effective solution for high-quantity metal manufacturing. The process involves a custom stamping die, developed for the specific part that is being manufactured. These dies then cold-form metal sheets into specific shapes. There are multiple types of stamping dies, and various forming techniques in each die, such as punching, embossing, bending, flanging and more.
Once the initial tooling is complete, the stamping operations allow a manufacturer to run higher volumes of a unique piece at a very competitive price. Many everyday items are made through this process, like washers and electrical plugs, but complex and detailed dies can manufacture millions of identical special parts. Stamped parts can be found in cars, hospital equipment, everyday household items, appliances, and even in space!
