Design for stamping manufacturability begins with function
The process of stamping parts from the initial request for quote (RFQ), through the tooling design/build process, and finally, to the stamping production can be a long and winding road with a large gap between what is designed and what can be manufactured. Knowing a feature’s function during the tool tryout process—or better yet at the time of RFQ—can help a tooling house wring out cost and smooth an operation. Which costly features and dimensional criteria may be unnecessarily complex or overdimensioned?
