Metal Stamping & Forming Services for OEM Parts
Stamped parts look cheap per piece - the real economics live in two places nobody quotes up front: material yield and die reliability. A part that wastes 15% of its sheet, or a die that drifts after 2,000 hits, quietly eats the margin that the piece price promised. Buyers who have been burned once start asking about nesting efficiency and die maintenance before they ask about price.
We run presses from 60 to 400 tons for parts in 0.5–8mm material, with ±0.1mm repeatability on formed features. For new parts we cut prototypes by laser first, validate the fit, and only then commit to hard tooling - so your first production run is not a die tryout.
Stamping Capabilities
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Press range | 60 – 400 ton |
| Material thickness | 0.5 – 8 mm |
| Repeatability | ±0.1 mm on formed features |
| Secondary operations | Deburring, tapping, countersinking, forming, spot welding |
| Tooling approach | Laser prototype → fit check → hard tooling commitment |
| Batch flexibility | Prototype quantities to production volumes |
Materials We Stamp
Carbon steel (SPCC/SPHC, Q235), stainless steel (304/430), galvanized sheet, and aluminum. For agricultural screens and grates we work closely with perforated and punched-pattern designs, controlling burr direction so the part stays safe to handle and clean in service.
Prototype Before Tooling: The Risk-Free Path to Volume
Hard tooling is a commitment. Before you pay for it, we laser-cut your part, bend or form the critical features by hand fixture, and send you a physical sample to fit-check. The drawing is corrected once - against reality, not assumptions. Then we design the production die around the validated geometry. You see the part before you pay for the die.
Typical Applications
Agricultural machinery: concave grates, sieves, screen plates and bracket sets for harvesters and threshers
Electrical: mounting plates, busbar brackets, panel hardware
Construction & structural: gussets, tie plates, washer and spacer families
General OEM: formed brackets, stiffeners and covers in carbon or stainless steel
Why Buyers Choose Us for Stamped Parts
Tooling is where stamping margins are won or lost. Our prototype-first path, agricultural screen expertise and in-house welding and HDG finishing mean one supplier takes the part from flat sheet to finished, coated and boxed product.
Quality Control on Stamped Batches
First-article dimensional report per new tool, in-process gauging at set intervals, and final sampling against your AQL. Key features are marked on the drawing before tooling so every critical dimension gets checked - not just the ones that are easy to reach.
How an Order Moves Through Our Shop
Send the drawing and target volume → laser-cut prototype for your fit check (24 hours) → drawing corrected against the physical sample → production die designed around validated geometry → first-article dimensional report → batch production with in-process gauging and final AQL sampling. You approve the part before you pay for the die - and the die is engineered to the volume you actually need, not to a guessed one.

Stamping FAQ
Q: What is your MOQ for stamped parts?
A: From 100 pieces for existing tools; new parts start with a laser-cut prototype, then tooling, then production - volume is your call.
Q: Can you make perforated screens for agricultural machines?
A: Yes - screens, grates and sieves are a core line. Send a sample or drawing and we confirm pattern, burr direction and thickness.
Q: Who owns the tooling?
A: Tooling is quoted separately and owned by you; we store and maintain it at no charge for repeat orders.
Q: What tolerance can you hold?
A: ±0.1mm on formed features with a validated die; tighter on pierced holes where the design allows.
Q: Can stamped parts be welded or galvanized?
A: Yes - we combine stamping with welding in-house and can finish to HDG per AS/NZS 4680 for outdoor parts.
