Deep Drawing: What is it Exactly? Deep drawing is the process of forming sheet metal by using a punch to radially draw the metal into a forming die. The mechanical action of the punch in combination with the hollow die applies both tensile and compressive forces that transform the shape under high pressure. Deep drawing retains the thickness of the sheet metal material and produces highly accurate, repeatable components. Deep drawing is a cost-effective process for manufacturing applications requiring high precision and high volumes of parts. Deep drawing also works well for products of light ..read more

CNC Laser Cutting Adds Flexibility & Cuts Costs Industrial laser cutting and trimming for stamped metal parts is a technology that has been in use for over three decades. In its infancy, laser cutting was limited to simply 3 dimensional surfaces, and cutting speeds were quite slow. But continual advances in laser technology have transformed the laser cutting process and contract laser cutting industry in a remarkable manner. Reduced lead times, greater product design flexibility and lower tooling costs are just some of the advantages of CNC laser cutting in metal component manufacturing ..read more
