Metal stamping is the general term for the metal forming process whereby a metal stamping die or a set of metal stamping dies is used to form sheet metal metal blanks into a three dimensional shape. Production metal stamping is used by a variety of industries such as electrical, automotive, white goods and home appliance. Automotive stampings are a significant part of the metal stamping industry.
Metal stamping is an effective way of producing formed sheet metal parts at an extremely high rate. The metal stamping dies are placed in presses and each cycle of the press produces formed parts.
Production metal stamping is performed by metal stampers or metal formers. Metal stamping dies ares manufactured by toolmakers. Metal stamping is typically carried out using a press brake machine which uses mechanical energy stored in a large flywheel to punch the punch into the metal to be formed. Metal pressing often refers to metal parts formed using hydraulic presses.
