Key Points About Stamping Sheet Metal
Material: Usually steel, aluminum, copper, brass, or stainless steel sheets.
Tools: Dies (custom-designed molds) and punches that shape the metal.
Process: The sheet is fed into the press → the press applies force through the die → the sheet is cut or formed.
Output: Complex, precise, and repeatable parts made at high speed.
Blanking – cutting flat shapes from sheet.
Punching – creating holes or cutouts.
Bending – folding metal into angles.
Embossing – pressing designs or patterns.
Coining – fine detail forming for precision parts.
Deep Drawing – forming deep hollow parts (e.g., cans, auto panels).
High efficiency (mass production).
Consistent precision and quality.
Cost-effective for large volumes.
Compatible with a wide range of metals and thicknesses.
