Part & volume review
Drawing geometry, material condition, sheet thickness, annual demand, burr direction, flatness and cosmetic surfaces are reviewed.
Metal Stamping
Custom Metal Stamping Services
Custom metal stamping projects for blanked, pierced, bent, drawn and formed sheet-metal parts, with tooling, material condition, burr, flatness, finishing and inspection requirements reviewed together.
- Blanking, piercing, bending, drawing and forming reviewed
- Material temper, thickness and grain direction considered
- Single-stage, compound or progressive die concept by project
- Deburring, finishing and inspection included in the process plan
Capability overview
Built around your drawing and functional requirements.
Metal stamping uses dedicated dies to convert sheet or coil into repeat components. MIM Machining reviews material, thickness, grain direction, geometry, annual demand, die concept, secondary operations and inspection before confirming the tooling and production route.
Project workflow
From requirements to controlled production.
Die concept & DFM
The team evaluates forming sequence, strip layout, bend and draw behavior, carrier design, die type, press interface and inspection datums.
Tool build & samples
Tool construction and trial samples are planned around feature development, forming stability and agreed approval criteria.
Production & secondary operations
Stamping, deburring, tapping, welding, finishing, cleaning and inspection are coordinated according to the controlled drawing.

Surface finishing
Plan the finish before final dimensions are released.
Anodizing, coating, plating, passivation and mechanical finishes can affect dimensions, masking, color and inspection. Compare the options before submitting your RFQ.
Compare surface finishesMolding & tooling
Compare tooling-dependent production routes.
Plastic injection molding, metal injection molding, export molds, metal stamping and die casting have different material, geometry, volume and ownership requirements.

Planning your next RFQ.
Project-specific capability depends on the drawing, material, quantity and inspection requirements.
Read the RFQ checklistWhat metal stamping operations can be reviewed?+
Blanking, piercing, bending, forming, coining and selected drawing operations can be reviewed. The final process depends on geometry, material, thickness, tool access, quantity and acceptance requirements.
When is a progressive die considered?+
A progressive die may be considered when several operations can be sequenced along a strip and the production demand supports dedicated tooling. Part geometry, feed pitch, carrier strength and press requirements must be evaluated.
Why should the drawing identify burr direction?+
Blanking and piercing create an edge condition that may affect assembly, handling, electrical contact or appearance. Identify controlled edges, burr limits and required deburring in the drawing.
What should I send for a stamping quotation?+
Provide the 3D model and drawing with material grade and temper, thickness, quantities, annual forecast, critical dimensions, burr and flatness limits, finish, inspection and packaging requirements.
