What is Custom Sheet Metal Stamping?
Custom Sheet Metal Stamping is a manufacturing process that transforms flat sheets of metal into specific shapes using high-precision dies and stamping presses. By applying force with a tool and die surface, the sheet metal is deformed to achieve the desired geometry, often with incredible detail and consistency.
Applications of Custom Sheet Metal Stamping
Custom sheet metal stamping is essential across multiple industries. Some of the most common applications include:
Automotive: Body panels, brackets, heat shields, battery components
Aerospace: Structural components, brackets, enclosures
Medical Devices: Surgical tools, housings, trays
Electronics: Enclosures, connectors, contacts
Construction: Building facades, HVAC components, mounting systems
Renewable Energy: Solar panel frames, wind turbine parts
Consumer Goods: Appliance panels, furniture components, outdoor equipment
Trending Applications:
Electric vehicle (EV) battery casings
Lightweight aerospace brackets
Miniaturized medical devices
How Custom Sheet Metal Stamping is Made
The sheet metal stamping process generally follows these steps:
Design and Engineering: CAD drawings and prototypes are developed.
Tooling Creation: Precision dies and molds are manufactured.
Stamping: Using hydraulic or mechanical presses, sheet metal is formed into the final part.
Secondary Operations: Include deburring, heat treating, plating, and painting.
Quality Assurance: Parts are inspected to ensure they meet all specifications.
Delivery: Completed parts are carefully packaged and shipped to the client.
At Laube, our in-house engineers work alongside clients at every step to ensure smooth project execution and optimal outcomes.
