Metal stamping

Our company uses a variety of presses ranging in capacity from 30 to 400 tons to produce a wide range of custom metal stamping parts. The metallurgical expertise we bring to the design of springs and fasteners extends to forgings, allowing our engineers to create parts from materials ranging from mild steel to pre-hardened alloys in thicknesses ranging from .004″ to .312″ depending on part configuration and tonnage requirements.

Metal stamping is a manufacturing process in which rolls or flat sheets of material are formed into specific shapes. In the blanking process, rolls or sheets are fed to a stamping press, which uses tools and dies to form features and surfaces in the metal. Metal stamping is an excellent way to mass produce a variety of complex parts, from car door panels and gears to small electrical components used in phones and computers.

Most stamping projects are at least 1000 units to ensure cost effectiveness for the client. Customers use small metal stamping jobs to bridge the gap between prototyping and production, and to get a sense of how well a product will perform in the marketplace.

Average production volumes range from 100 000 to 1 million units. This volume of metal stamping production provides flexibility for low-volume orders and a lower price per part. This also reduces initial tooling costs.

High-volume production includes orders for more than 1 million parts. While metal stamping is highly scalable, it is an incredibly cost-effective manufacturing process at high volumes as it reduces the unit cost associated with the cost of creating custom tooling.
