Metal Stamping

Custom Metal Stamping

Metal stamping is a fast and efficient method of producing durable, high-quality custom components for an extensive range of industries. Using custom-made stamping dies and precision stamping equipment, sheet metal is cut or formed into a desired shape. From complex parts to simple components, Tempco is ready to deliver uncompromising results paired with unparalleled customer service. We offer:

Processes performed using CAD/CAM designed tools
Metal stamping presses built to handle capacities up to 440 tons
Small and large punch presses for unique specifications and complex custom stamping projects
Precision stamping dies and tooling manufactured in-house
Ability to produce parts as thin as 0.005” and maintain tolerances that often exceed industry standards
Metal stamping for sheet metal prototyping
And much more!

Types of Custom Metal Stamping Services

Your best type of metal stamping will depend on the goals and requirements of your production. Output volume, uniformity needs, and component complexity all will impact which kind of metal stamping is the most efficient option. Need help determining which type of metal stamping is right for your project? Call 651-452-1441 today. A Tempco expert will get to know your application to identify your most effective metal stamping technique.

Progressive Die Stamping

Also called "prog" die stamping, this process moves strip metal through a line of progressive stamping press stations. Each station performs a specific function—such as bending, punching, or others—to produce complex parts. Progressive stamping is a repeatable process that creates uniform components.

Drawn Stamping

Using a punch to feed blanks into a die, drawn stamping is the ideal metal stamping process for products requiring shapes with extreme depth. Drawn metal stamping has a low material waste rate and is well-suited for low-volume production of simple parts.

Transfer Stamping

Our transfer stamping services are designed for high-volume, close-tolerance metal components that require multiple forming operations within a single, highly controlled process. Using automated transfer systems, Tempco efficiently moves parts between tooling stations to produce complex geometries, tight dimensional consistency, and superior repeatability.

Metal Stamping Processes

Custom metal stamping is completed with stamping dies typically manufactured from tool steel, which is hard enough to cut most other types of metal while maintaining your required tolerances. Various kinds of metal stamping techniques are used to create your desired result, and your best process may include:

Blanking

Blanking removes a workpiece from the original metal to create your designated form. It is the opposite of punching as the removed metal becomes the shape or blank.

Punching

Punching uses a die and a punch to cut sheet metal into your designated shape. Excess material is dispelled from the surface, and the remaining form creates your final part.

Bending

Metal sheet is bent and formed to match your shape specifications. The most common forms are L, U, or V-shapes as this process is accomplished by bending a material around a single axis.

Drawing

Using a compressive force, sheet metal is formed into a cavity or around the desired shape. Drawing is also sometimes referred to as forming.

Embossing

Embossing uses a die to apply a shape onto metal material, imprinting the pattern or design onto the workpiece.
