At the core of Metal Stamping Die Design is the understanding of how metal behaves under force. Stamping dies are designed to apply controlled pressure to flat sheets of metal, causing them to deform into three-dimensional shapes. The process involves several stages, including blanking, piercing, bending, and forming, each of which requires a specific die configuration. The design of these dies must take into account the material properties of the metal, such as its thickness, strength, and ductility, as well as the desired shape and tolerances of the final product.
