Products made with dies range from simple paper clips to complex pieces used in advanced technology.
Stamping dies are the tools that shape and cut sheet metal parts.
The metal s thickness and mechanical properties along with the forming punch geometry determine the depth that can be achieved see figure 1.
Once these stamping dies are mounted into presses sheet metal is fed to them.
Like molds dies are generally customized to the item they are used to create.

Different types of dies.
Metal stamping is a cold forming process that makes use of dies and stamping presses to transform sheet metal into different shapes.
They are commonly developed using computer aided design cad software and analytical programs to create and prove out highly accurate unambiguous designs.
These parts achieve their shape through the effects of the die tooling.
Production stamping is generally performed on materials 020 to 080 thick but the process also can be applied to foils as thin as 001 or to plate stock.
