What is Metal Stamping?
If you’ve come across the steel industry, then you probably have heard of the word metal stamping before. But what exactly is it? And why do so many industries depend on it?
In this blog post, we’re going to discover the basic knowledge of metal stamping, and why the world's biggest companies, like Apple, Panasonic, NVIDIA and Porsche, rely so much on it.
What exactly is metal stamping?
Metal stamping is a manufacturing process that shapes flat metal sheets into specific parts that make up the everyday products we use (e.g. seatbelt buckle plates, mounting brackets for air-con, SIM card trays, etc), using stamping press machines and specialized tools called dies.
However, some products could be made entirely through the process of metal stamping alone. For example, coins, pet tags, spoons, etc.
Think of it like a pizza cutter for heavy industry, slicing and shaping every flat metal sheet into different metal parts.
Why does it matter so much to most industries?
Metal stamping can be adapted to produce a wide variety of parts for countless industries. From tiny electronic connectors to large HVAC brackets, stamping handles components of most shapes and sizes. Its flexibility allows companies to meet diverse manufacturing needs, making it a go-to process whether a product is simple or complex, small or large. For example, NVIDIA uses metal stamping to make brackets and shields for GPUs. To learn more about metal stamping, click here and see the process of a metal stamping machine operating.
