Stamping

Stamping is the process of placing flat sheet metal in either blank or coil form into a stamping press where a tool and die surface forms the metal into a net shape.
Stamping includes a variety of sheet-metal forming manufacturing processes, such as punching using a machine press or stamping press, blanking, embossing, bending, flanging, and coining. Stamping is either a single stage operation where every stroke of the press produces the desired form on the sheet metal part, or a multiple stage process.
Stamping can be applied to a variety of materials based on their unique metalworking qualities for a number of applications.

Advantages of Stamping:

Cost Efficiency
Consistent Quality
Fast Setup
High Speed, Low Cycle Times
Longer Runs
Less Material Waste
Lower Cost Per Part
