Customized sheet metal stamping copper machining

Stamping dies are the tools that shape and cut Sheet Metal Parts. They are commonly developed using computer-aided design (CAD) software and analytical programs to create and prove-out highly accurate, unambiguous designs. These designs are then translated into stamping dies by skilled craftsmen, known as diemakers. Once these stamping dies are mounted into presses, sheet metal is fed to them to produce parts.

Metal stamping advantage
The stamping process offers multiple benefits to those who select it for part creation.
After producing the dies, metalworkers can produce large volumes of parts in relatively little time. The use of Cnc Machining and other forms of automation make production even faster.
When comparing costs, die production for metal stamping has a lower price tag than different types of metal forming. Additionally, if using ferrous metals, the price of the project decreases even more.
One significant advantage of using Sheet Metal Stamping is the material’s recyclability. Any scrap left over after creating the finished parts fabricators can recycle for future products.
Metal stamping disadvantage
The process that allows for large-volume production of identical parts also contributes to the most significant drawback of stamping, customized die creation.
Making a die to your project’s specifications increases the pre-production time for metal stamping. Additionally, any changes to the die will add to the processing time. In other words, once production with a finished die begins, stopping it becomes expensive and complicated, though not impossible.
While stamping can still produce smaller orders or short-term project runs, the use of the presses may not justify such a smaller order. For small projects, fabrication may provide a more cost-effective alternative.
