Design for Metal Stamping

Part geometry affects metal stamping cost through tooling complexity, material utilization, forming requirements, and dimensional...

Tabs, slots and lances affect punch durability, material deformation, assembly fit and dimensional consistency in...

Distortion around holes in thin stamped parts can cause raised edges, oval holes, local warping,...

Grain direction can affect how sheet metal bends, springs back, and performs during stamping. In...

Metal stamping lead time is not determined by press speed alone. A new custom stamping...

Metal stamping vs metal fabrication is primarily a choice between tooling-driven production and flexible, multi-step...

Bend relief design is critical when a stamped metal part has a bend that terminates...

Designing stamped metal parts for progressive die production requires more than making each feature individually...

Hole-to-edge distance affects whether a stamped hole can be produced without edge distortion, tear-out, or...

Hole size and spacing directly affect punch strength, feature stability, dimensional consistency, and tooling life....

Specifying a bend radius that is too small can cause outer-surface cracking. More importantly for...

Metal stamping tolerances are feature-specific rather than one universal number. General stamped dimensions may commonly...
