Manufacturing Tools for Stamping

Metal stamping involves several steps. The first step is to design and manufacture the actual tool that will be used to create the product.
A designer is used to design the strip and determine dimensions, tolerances, feed direction, scrap minimization, and other factors.
Machining Tool Steel and Die Sets: CNC ensures greater precision and repeatability for even the most complex dies. 5-axis CNC mills and wire EDM machines, for example, can cut through hardened tool steels with extremely tight tolerances.
Secondary processing: Heat treatment is applied to metal parts to increase their strength and durability for their application. Grinding is used to finish parts that require a smooth surface and precise dimensions.
Wire EDM: Wire electrical discharge machining uses an electrically charged strand of brass wire to shape metal materials. Wire EDM is capable of cutting the most complex shapes, including small angles and contours.
Metal forming processes that require custom tooling and techniques to produce parts specified by the customer are referred to as custom metal stamping. Custom stamping processes are used in a variety of industries and applications to meet high-volume production needs and ensure that all parts meet exact specifications.
