The metal stamping process is a versatile manufacturing process used to produce high volumes of custom metal parts efficiently and cost-effectively. However, to reap the benefits of metal stamping service s, the parts must be designed properly with stamping in mind. Here we will discuss the critical mechanical design principles and considerations for designing parts for metal stamping. Material Selection The material used for metal stamping significantly impacts the part design. Ductile materials like low-carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and brass are commonly stamped. Sheet thickness typically ranges from 0.5mm to 3mm for most stampings. Thicker materials up to 6mm can be stamped in some cases. When selecting the material, consider factors like: - Strength and hardness required - Corrosion resistance needed - Magnetic properties - Weight and density - Formability and ability to bend without fracturing - Cost and availability Understanding the formability, flexibility, an
