What is metal stamping?

Sheet metal stamping is the process of creating two-dimensional part shapes from pieces of blanked or coiled sheet metal. Typically blanked or coiled sheet metal is placed in a stamping press, where a stamping tool (or die) in the shape of the part is pressed into and through the material to create a part.

What materials can a waterjet cut?

Waterjet machines can cut a variety of materials including, cold rolled steel, hot rolled steel, aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized materials.

What is stamping in manufacturing?

Custom sheet metal stamping includes operations such as blanking, punching, bending, drawing, embossing, and others. Each process is performed using CAD/CAM designed tools that provide the precision required for complex parts.

What is sheet metal fabrication?

Sheet metal fabrication involves manufacturing components by manipulating sheet metal through various means. This is most often accomplished by first laser cutting or turret punching the material, followed by forming, bending, and/or rolling the sheet metal, along with welding and other assembly processes.

What is a fiber laser cutter?

Fiber optic laser cutters utilize amplified light that is channeled through a fiber optic cable. The light is then straightened and delivered by a lens that is hyper focused on the material being cut. This delivery system provides extremely accurate cutting of numerous types of materials in various thicknesses.

What is the difference between metal stamping and metal fabrication?

Metal stamping can refer to any of a number of metal forming operationsâ€”in addition to stamping, bending, pressing, folding, and stretching actions may be used to produce the final part. Metal fabrication entails the manufacturing of three-dimensional metal parts via cutting, bending, and/or other assembly processes.

Custom Sheet Metal Fabrication & Metal Stamping Capabilities

Our full-service custom sheet metal stamping and fabrication shop offers the full spectrum of metal stamping options such as:

Blanking: A fabrication process where a punch and die are used to cut pieces, referred to as blanks, from sheet metal for further processing. It produces minimal burrs, which helps reduce finishing costs and lead time.
Piercing: Uses similar machinery as blanking and involves using a punch and die to create holes, slots, and notches in sheet metal. It forms tight tolerances, produces a cleaner cut than drilling, and is more productive than laser cutting.
Forming: Includes different processes where force is applied to sheet metal to modify its geometry and create thin, flat pieces that can then be formed into more complex shapes.
Drawing: A process where tensile force is used to stretch or draw sheet metal blanks over a die until the desired thickness and shape are achieved. This precision metal stamping process creates fluid handling, aircraft parts, electronic components, and more.
