Over the past few years, metal stamping has been replacing other metal forming processes (such as forging and die casting) because of the low production costs. The products can also be stronger and more durable than those made in other metal forming processes. Metal stampings are used in a variety of industries because parts can be turned out at a very high rate and this is good for overall production times and costs.
