- Whoops! Let me clarify:
-
- Metal stamping is the process by which sheet metal, which is effectively 2 dimentional,
- is shaped into a 3 dimentional part.
-
- Find any swingline stapler, for example, and you will see mostly stamped metal
- parts. Metal car bumpers are stamped from a sheet of steel.
-
- The stamping may be done with one set of dies, if the bends aren't too radical, or
- it may use progressive dies to coax the sheet metal into shapes.
-
- I have a need to have some dies made, and I am looking for some expertise.
-
-
- Anybody ever see a De-Sta-Co toggle clamp? They are made by the Detroit-Stamping-Company.
