What is Metal Stamping Service?
Metal stamping is a manufacturing process used to convert flat metal sheets into specific shapes. It is a complex process that can include a number of metal forming techniques — blanking, punching, bending and piercing, to name a few. Pieces of flat sheet metal, typically referred to as blanks, is fed into a sheet metal stamping press that uses a tool and die surface to form the metal into a new shape. The stamping process can occur in several different ways, including a single process with one or more dies, a series of progressive dies in the same machine, or in transfer stamping where the work piece is moved between dies on separate machines.
What types for Metal Stamping by Worthy Hardware ?
1. Progressive Die Stamping
Progressive stamping is a metalworking method that can encompass punching, coining, bending and several other ways of modifying metal raw material, combined with an automatic feeding system. Progressive die stamping is ideal for long runs, because the dies last a long time without becoming damaged, and the process is highly repeatable. Each step in the process performs a different cut, bend, or punching operation on the metal, thus gradually achieving the desired end-product shape and design.Progressive stamping is also very fast, producing the lowest cycle times per part. Progressive die tooling is used to make parts for all industries requiring high precision combined with high speed production.
2. Deep Draw stamping
Deep drawing involves pulling a sheet metal blank into the die via a punch, forming it into a shape.Deep drawing is a specialized metal stamping process to produce deep, hollow three-dimensional shapes.This type of forming is ideal for creating components that need several series of diameters and is a cost-effective alternative to turning processes, which typically require using up more raw materials.
3. Fine Blanking
Fine blanking, also known as fine-edge blanking, is valuable for providing high accuracy and smooth edges. Usually done on a hydraulic or mechanical press, or by a combination of the two, fine blanking operations consist of three distinct movements:
- Clamping of the work piece or work material in place
- Performance of the blanking operation
- Ejection of the finished part
Fine blanking presses operate at higher pressures than those used in conventional stamping operations, hence tools and machinery need to be designed with these higher operating pressures in mind.

What are the benefits of Metal Stamping?
Metal stamping offers a wide range of benefits that make it a useful process for the mass production of many designs. Some of the primary benefits include:
- Cost Effective
While initial tooling may come with elevated upfront costs, the overall cost of metal stamping can be significantly reduced for larger production runs. Since the dies can be reused for each process, larger orders gain significant economies of scale.
- Quick Setup
The lead times for metal stamping are relatively short, which means production can begin quickly.
- Precision
The dies and tooling used in metal stamping offer extremely precise cuts and shapes. In addition, metal stamping is a cold forming operation, which means no additional heat is applied to the metal during the stamping process. This avoids warping and improves the accuracy of the final part.
