What Is Stamping?

Stamping

Stamping refers to a manufacturing process where steel sheets or coils are fed into a press where steel is shaped into specific forms or patterns using a die. This process involves placing a flat steel sheet into a stamping press, which then applies high pressure through a die to cut, bend, or form the steel into a desired shape. Stamping is commonly used in automotive, appliance, and electronics industries to create parts such as car body panels, appliance casings, and metal enclosures.

It can involve various operations, including blanking (cutting out a part), embossing (creating raised or recessed designs), and forming (shaping the steel into complex 3D shapes). Stamping is highly efficient for mass production, providing precise, high-volume manufacturing of steel components with consistent quality.
