DFM & ENGINEERING SUPPORT

Design for Manufacturability, Built In

Before tooling starts, our engineers review your drawing for material, tolerance, bend, and volume economics — and lock the process that will hold it across millions of strokes.

What We Review in Your Drawing

Burr control on thin-strip parts

Precision die clearance and carbide tooling hold burr height under 10% of material thickness, verified with optical inspection.

Dimensional drift at 300 SPM

In-line vision inspection plus automatic die protection stop the press the moment a dimension drifts, protecting the tool and the batch.

Springback on formed features

Die compensation is tuned from first-article measurements, and coining steps lock critical angles on high-strength alloys.

Tool wear across millions of strokes

At 300 SPM a die accumulates strokes fast, and cutting edges dull as clearances open. Stroke-counted resharpen schedules, die maintenance records and in-line vision catch wear while it is still a trend, not a scrap batch.

DFM to Production Flow

01

Piloting

Pilot holes lock the strip position at the entry of the die so every later station references the same datum.

02

Piercing

Piercing stations cut holes and internal features while the strip stays captive in the die.

03

Blanking

Blanking trims the outer profile so the finished part is separated from the strip web.

04

Forming and coining

Bending, forming and coining shape bends, angles and embossed features in sequence before cutoff.

05

Cutoff and exit

Cutoff releases the finished part from the strip as it leaves the die, ready for reeling or downstream assembly.

What materials can you stamp on high-speed presses?

Copper alloys (C11000 ETP, C5191/C5210 phosphor bronze), brass, aluminum, carbon steel and exotic alloys on coil-fed strip from 0.05 mm to 3.0 mm thick.

What tolerances can high-speed stamping hold?

Standard ±0.025 mm (±0.001 in), with tighter control on critical dimensions verified by in-line vision inspection during production.

What is the typical minimum order quantity?

High-speed progressive die stamping is cost-effective from roughly 100k pieces upward; multi-million-piece runs maximize tooling amortization.

Do you design and build the progressive dies in-house?

Yes. Die design, CAD, build, try-out and maintenance are fully in-house, which shortens lead time and keeps tooling changes fast.

Can parts be plated or finished after stamping?

Reel-to-reel selective plating (gold 2-8 µm, tin, zinc 5-12 µm), heat treatment, inlay, coining and other secondary operations are available in-house.

How fast can you ramp up production?

Prototype/sample parts typically ship 2-4 weeks after DFM approval; mass production launch follows the PPAP schedule agreed at kickoff.

What parts are typical for high-speed progressive stamping?

Terminals, lead frames, shielding cans, connectors, contacts and eyelets for automotive, electronics, EV and telecommunications programs. These are high-quantity, tightly toleranced parts that run multiple-up in the die at up to 300 SPM.

When should I choose high-speed stamping over machining, etching or laser cutting?

Choose stamping when annual volume crosses the tooling break-even point, roughly 100k pieces upward. Machining suits complex 3D features and low volume, etching suits ultra-thin burr-free prototypes, and laser suits short runs and thick plate; stamping delivers the lowest per-part cost with the tightest part-to-part consistency.
