Stamping or pressing describes the processes of metalworking that are used to produce a certain shape or form from a metal sheet. Techniques such as punching, embossing or using a machine press are common practices used in metalwork. These precision stamping techniques can be used across a wide range of different industries, depending on the unique qualities of the metal and the end purpose the component is required for. Here are just a few of the principle uses for metal presswork:

Firstly there is stamping for the electronics industry. Metal pressings can be used for circuit boards and other electronic products, where beryllium copper may also be needed for electrical conductivity purposes.

Secondly, precision stamping is widely used in the automotive industry, where a large amount of complex parts are required for the manufacture of cars, vans, lorries and other vehicles. Pressing techniques are harnessed to produce items such as transmission components, interior and exterior lights, engine parts and safety related devices. Specialist stamping businesses will design and create these component parts making use of a wide range of metal stamping processes. As expected in the automotive industry, it is widely accepted that these parts will need to meet stringent quality standards as for obvious reasons manufacturers need to uphold motoring safety at all times.

Another industry in which precision stamped metal parts are used in the medical sector. Medical equipment and machinery is of course extremely complex and therefore any component parts produced must adhere to strict regulations in terms of size and specification in order to ensure this machinery and equipment can function effectively.

In the medical industry, metal pressing is used to manufacture component parts for implantable devices, surgical equipment and other micro components. Again, any stamped components produced for customers in the medical sector will need to meet strict standards.

Of course there are a number of other industry sectors in which stamped metal parts will be widely used. Some of these examples may include the marine, agriculture, aerospace and telecoms industries. More information on the industry applications of metal pressings can be found by looking online or speaking with a specialist metalworking company.
