Precision metal stamping is an industrial process that uses machinery fitted with dies to transform flat sheet metal in either blank or coil form into different custom shapes. Besides stamping, these metal presses can also perform a wide range of processes such as punching, tooling, notching, bending, embossing, flanging, coining, and much more.
Precision metal stamping is widely used for the production of a large variety of products. It can be executed as a single-stage operation— where each stroke of the metal press produces the desired shape on the sheet metal— or in a series of stages.
The growing demand for precision metal parts in various industries— from medical to automotive to aerospace— has pushed precision metal stamping to the forefront of manufacturing today. This is because it offers a high degree of design flexibility for defining and implementing minute features with tight tolerances and unique configurations.
Furthermore, custom applications are extremely well served by the adaptability of precision metal stamping, with tooling tailored to the exact requirements of each application. In all, this makes precision metal stamping an ideal solution for the high-volume production of complex products, thanks to its flexibility, speed and cost-effectiveness.
