Metal Stamping is the manufacturing process in which metal components are formed by pressing a metal blank or sheet through a stamping machine with a specified die to create a shaped product. This metal forming process can take place in one step or multiple steps depending on the geometry of the desired product and available sheet material. Mechanical and hydraulic presses are used for stamping processes. Metal stamping is regularly used for high production runs for metal components because it can generally provide consistency for finish, thickness, and tolerances.
