How to paint Realistic Metal Finish by Lester Bursley
Ten Tough Questions For Your New Metal Stamping
Competition from offshore metal stamping and declines in demand due to the recession has wreaked havoc on domestic metal stamping suppliers in the last few years. With a declining base of financially solvent metal stampers, OEMs find themselves struggling to find suppliers who they can transition their business to quickly and efficiently.
Here are 10 questions you should ask in finding the right metal stamping supplier
1. Does the new metal stamping supplier have the tools available to serve me; press tonnage, capacity, and quality systems and standards?
2. Ask for samples of their capability including value added services such as welding, finishing, or assembly.
3. Does the supplier have experience in managing both domestic and offshore tooling sources? Ask for specific examples.
4. Is the metal stamping supplier financially sound? While their answer is important to hear, make sure to have a Standards and Poor Stability Rating Report in hand to validate their answer.
5. Tell me about the workforce from people on the floor to the engineers involved?
6. Will they work to improve my current total cost of manufacturability?
7. Can they demonstrate the ability to help improve inventory turns and cash flow?
8. Explain the importance of quality and repeatability to current needs; cost and output are highly affected by how precise each part must be. Can the supplier meet these requirements?
9. What are some R&D efforts done recently in terms of improving and sustaining the company- especially in the area of metal stamping? This question can be taken one step further to: Can the supplier partner with us on research and development projects?
10. Most importantly, can I tour the facility to see examples of in-process tools and parts produced?
Offering a unique set of solutions is the key to being able to compete in the metal stamping industry. If you have been working with a company that has not changed its processes over the years, you may be missing out on the more efficient developments that have been reducing costs. While touring the facilities get a feel for the general atmosphere. You want to see creativity and commitment in each employee or process. If at any time you sense apprehension about your project it may be a good time to look elsewhere. An experienced metal stamper will go beyond what is normal and take on work that may not be easy.
You can feel confident that you have found a great metal stamping supplier replacement if they can answer all these questions to your satisfaction.

Stamping tools are hard tools made with hard materials like steel. Usually hot stamping die is used for stamping metal surfaces. Die is the tooling used to produce a stamped part. A die set assembly has male and female components that actually produce the shaped stamping. Stamping die stamps the design on the metallic surface by using moulding process.
Stamping can be fun when done right. But, you have to have the right stamping tool for precision metal stamping. Latest stamping methods are affordable and provide creative stamping solutions. Stamping tools can be used for stamping metal, foils, wood, leather and plastic. Stamping tools companies usually provide.
Metal stamping tools and stamping dies are used to produce high volume sheet metal parts using press. Parts can be stamped from any ductile metal to create and achieve almost any desired configuration.
Metal stamping is generally performed on materials .020" to .080" thick with tolerances to ±.001. The process also can be applied to foils as thin as .001". Stamping is also done by machine press. The metal is placed between the press plates and pressed against each other. This deforms the metal into the desired shape.
