What is Metal stamping?
Metal stamping is a cold-forming process that utilizes dies and stamping presses to reshape sheet metal into various forms. This process involves feeding flat sheet metal, known as blanks, into a stamping press equipped with specialized tooling and dies to create the desired shape. Manufacturing facilities and metal fabricators that provide stamping services position the material between die sections. Through the application of pressure, the material is shaped and cut into the desired final shape for the product or component.
Advanatge of metal stamping
✅ High Volume: Metal stamping is ideal for high-volume production runs. It can efficiently produce large quantities of identical parts at a rapid pace.
✅ Cost-effective: Once the stamping dies are created, the per-unit cost decreases significantly. It's a cost-effective option for large-scale manufacturing.
✅ Speed: Metal stamping is a fast process, with high-speed presses capable of producing parts at a rapid rate.
✅ Complexity: It is better suited for parts with simple or moderate complexity, such as flat or bent sheet metal components.

Custom Metal Stamping Process
Custom metal stamping is a process that involves shaping and forming metal sheets into desired components or parts. Here are the basic steps involved in custom metal stamping:
Design and Engineering: Start by creating or obtaining detailed design specifications for the metal part you want to create. This includes dimensions, tolerances, material requirements, and any specific features or functions.
Utilize computer-aided design (CAD) software to create a digital model or drawing of the part.
Material Selection: Choose the appropriate type of metal for your stamping project based on factors such as strength, durability, corrosion resistance, and cost. Commonly used metals for stamping include steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and copper.
Tooling and Die Design: Maijin Metal have experienced on metal stamping process can help ensure the proper design and fabrication of these tools.
Metal Stamping Process: Set up the stamping press or machine according to the design specifications and the type of metal being used. The metal sheets are then fed into the press, and the stamping die applies pressure to shape and form the metal into the desired part. This may involve processes such as blanking, piercing, bending, coining, or embossing.
Finishing and Surface Treatment: After stamping, the parts may undergo additional processes to achieve the desired surface finish or appearance. This can include deburring, polishing, coating, plating, or painting.
Assembly and Packaging: Maijin assembled the stamped parts with other components to create the final product. By the mutually agreed mode of transport to delivery.
