ABSTRACT

Nowadays, metal stampings are used in almost every mass-produced product. This is because metal stamping is a flexible production process that can be used to produce complex, accurate, strong, and durable articles cheaply and quickly. In metal stamping, successful products are the results of good product and tool design. Modern CAD/CAM technology and new ideas in design and construction of tools, coupled with increased speed and rigidity of the presses, have contributed to the continuous use of metal stamping production processes to manufacture increasingly more sophisticated products.
