Metal stamping is a manufacturing process used to convert flat metal sheets into specific shapes.  

Metal stamping is a complex process that can include a number of metal forming techniques — blanking, punching, bending and piercing.

There are thousands of companies across the CHINA that offer metal stamping services to deliver components for industries in automotive, aerospace, medical, and other markets.  As global markets evolve, there is an escalated need for quickly-produced large quantities of complex parts.

Metal stamping is a fast and cost-effective solution for this large-quantity manufacturing need. Manufacturers who need metal parts stamped for a project generally look for three important qualities:

High quality

Low cost

Fast Turnaround time

Stamping — also called pressing — involves placing flat sheet metal, in either coil or blank form, into a stamping press. In the press, a tool and die surface form the metal into the desired shape. Punching, blanking, bending, coining, embossing, and flanging are all stamping techniques used to shape the metal.

Before the material can be formed, stamping professionals must design the tooling via CAD/CAM engineering technology. These designs must be as precise as possible to ensure each punch and bend maintains proper clearance and, therefore, optimal part quality. A single tool 3D model can contain hundreds of parts, so the design process is often quite complex and time-consuming.

Once the tool’s design is established, a manufacturer can use a variety of machining, grinding, wire EDM and other manufacturing services to complete stamping production.
