Finding a way to make parts for small or large volume orders at the lowest possible cost is important for any OEM. For parts that are made of sheet metal, one of the most cost-effective and efficient ways to make parts and components is through metal stamping.
Not all machining companies offer metal stamping services. Taking the time to select a shop that specializes in metal stamping and has the equipment, the trained operators and the capacity to work to your order requirements is a critical part of the process.
Low Waste
Since metal stamping services are done without the need to heat the sheet metal, there is very little waste involved in the process. The system can be maximized to use as much as the sheet metal as possible, and with precision operation, there is virtually no waste due to quality issues.
Simple to Complex Shapes
While many people associated metal stamping services with the creation of blanks or other very simple shapes, an experienced metal stamping company produces a range of complex parts and components. These are used in the automotive industry, in parts of appliances, for components in HVAC systems and for parts and components used in equipment manufacturing services.
To ensure top quality control with any sheet metal stamping, be sure to verify the company is an ISO 9001 certified company. This is the gold standard for precision work and quality control throughout all processes the company offers.
Order Capacity
The automated nature of sheet metal stamping makes it an ideal process for high volume orders. It is also a cost-effective option for smaller orders and prototyping, and it is also a service that can be easily scaled up to meet future production needs.
As with any service, always check the ability to scale up quickly, particularly for new parts and components or when moving into new markets.
