Metal Stamping 101

Metal stamping involves the process of forming and cutting sheet metal into desired sizes

and shapes with the aid of a stamping die preloaded on a stamping press. This "stamping" produces a variety of parts from simple brackets to complex mechanical parts.

The process of sheet metal die casting is done by forcing molten metal under high pressure into mold cavities which are in turn machined into dies. After hardening, the solid casting is then ejected to complete the process. Casting is most often used for making complex shapes that would be otherwise difficult or uneconomical to make by other methods. The dies for Sheet metal stamping are used to make precision metal parts which are relatively identical in shape and size and also produces dimensional accuracy and stability for long
term results.
