Sheet Metal Stamping Dies Processes

Metal stamping is a cold forming process that makes use of dies and stamping presses to transform sheet metal into different shapes.

Sheet metal stamping dies processes.

Stamping also known as pressing is the process of placing flat sheet metal in either blank or coil form into a stamping press where a tool and die surface forms the metal into a net shape. Sheet metal stamping stamping presses and stamping dies are tools used to produce high volume sheet metal parts. Stamping includes a variety of sheet metal forming manufacturing processes such as punching using a machine press or stamping press blanking embossing bending flanging and coining. Progressive die stamping is a process that performs in a progressive manner on a series of stations and most importantly uses die for stamping.

These designs are then translated into stamping dies by skilled craftsmen known as diemakers. Once the die is placed on the stamping press the metal sheets unrolls itself steadily and automatically moves into the stamping press one after the other till it reaches the final station. Once these stamping dies are mounted into presses sheet metal is fed to them. Stamping also known as pressing is the process of placing flat sheet metal in either blank or coil form into a stamping press where a tool and die surface forms the metal into a net shape.

These parts achieve their shape through the effects of the die tooling. Stamping includes a variety of sheet metal forming manufacturing processes such as punching using a machine press or stamping press blanking embossing bending flanging and coining. They are commonly developed using computer aided design cad software and analytical programs to create and prove out highly accurate unambiguous designs.
