What Is Metal Stamping?

Metal stamping is a versatile manufacturing process that transforms flat metal sheets into a variety of shapes and parts. This process uses a press to cut, bend, and shape metal sheets through different techniques, including blanking, punching, forming, and drawing. As a leading metal stamping supplier, we are equipped to handle complex designs and large production volumes with precision and attention to detail.

What Is Metal Stamping?

The metal stamping process begins once the tool is ready, ensuring the precision and accuracy of the parts produced. Each stage is meticulously monitored to maintain quality control throughout production.

 

  • Blanking: The initial step where flat metal sheets are cut into specific shapes. This stage creates the base form for further operations and is essential for accurate production.

  • Curling: A process where the edges of the metal part are shaped into a rounded form, often used to eliminate sharp edges and enhance the part’s aesthetic or functional properties.

  • Burnishing: This process smooths and polishes the metal’s surface, improving its appearance and performance while also enhancing the metal’s durability.

  • Lancing: Lancing involves creating slits or holes in the metal without removing any material, allowing for additional forming or bending while maintaining the metal’s structural integrity.

  • Forming: This is where the metal is shaped into its final design through various bending and drawing operations. Forming can involve multiple stages to achieve the exact specifications required.

  • Trimming & Shaving: These processes involve removing excess material from the edges of the part to create smooth, clean finishes. Trimming removes larger pieces, while shaving provides finer cuts for a polished result.

Quality Control

Materials We Work With

We offer various types of metal stamping to meet different production needs, ensuring flexibility in both design and volume.

Progressive Metal Stamping

This high-efficiency process involves feeding a continuous strip of metal through multiple stations. Each station performs a different operation, such as cutting, bending, or punching, until the final part is complete. Progressive stamping is ideal for high-volume, intricate parts as it minimizes waste and maximizes production speed.

Transfer Stamping

Transfer stamping is designed for larger parts or those requiring multiple operations. Instead of the metal strip moving through progressive stations, each part is transferred from one station to another for a different operation. This method provides more flexibility and is suitable for parts requiring complex shapes or multiple forms.

Compound Stamping

Compound stamping allows multiple operations, such as cutting and shaping, to be completed in one press stroke. This method is highly efficient for producing flat parts with precise dimensional requirements.

Line Stamping

Line stamping involves performing single operations at each station, making it ideal for parts requiring fewer but more substantial processes. It’s often used for large or simpler components requiring high precision.

Form Stamping

Form stamping creates specific shapes or bends in the metal. This process ensures the part achieves its desired configuration, making it ideal for parts with unique or complex geometries.

Short Run Stamping

Our short-run stamping services are perfect for prototype development or limited production quantities. This method allows for cost-effective and efficient production for smaller orders without compromising on quality.

Long Run Stamping

For large-scale production, our long-run metal stamping ensures high-quality results over extended manufacturing periods. This type of stamping is ideal for industries that require consistent, high-volume production with minimal downtime.
