An Overview of Our Custom Metal Stamping Process

As industry veterans know, metal stamping takes a flat metal sheet and converts it into specific shapes. This process can be complex and includes different metal forming techniques like punching, piercing, bending, and beyond. The dies used in metal stamping are typically made of tool steel, which is strong enough to cut other types of metals while keeping the tolerances required by a project.

Custom metal stamping is essential in industries where complex parts are needed. These industries typically require large quantities of intricate parts that are produced quickly and cost-effectively, which is easily achieved by using a custom die.
