The global metal stamping market grew
at a CAGR of around 3 % during 2014-
2019 . Metal stamping , or pressing , is a manufacturing process used to convert flat metal sheets , or blanks , into specific shapes . It is a complex process that includes several metalforming techniques — blanking , punching , flanging , bending , embossing , coining and piercing , to name a few . The cold-forming process uses tools , dies and stamping presses to transform sheet metal into different shapes .
Some of the most common types of metal stamping machines include mechanical , hydraulic and mechanical servo machines that are fitted with multiple dies to cut and shape the sheets of stainless steel and metals , such as aluminium , zinc and copper . There are three major types of metal stamping techniques : progressive , fourslide ( multi-slide ) and deep draw . Servo presses are used to shape difficult-to-form materials , such as highstrength steel sheets and aluminium .
