01 / What We Fabricate
The Stamped Part Family Behind Volume Assembly
Stamped parts need stable geometry across thousands of cycles. We control hole position, burr direction, bend features, plating, lot traceability and packout so each SKU works the same way on the assembly line.
Formed Tabs and Ribs
Small bends, lances, locating tabs and stiffener ribs are controlled to prevent springback and assembly interference.
Secondary Operations
Deburring, tapping, PEM insertion, spot welding, plating and powder coating are planned as part of the stamping program.
Lot-Level Packout
Small stamped parts are packed by SKU, revision, finish and build station with lot records for repeat production.
Our scope: stamped metal parts and assemblies
We fabricate the stamped blanks, formed features, secondary operations, finish and packout. Your team defines the final product assembly, functional load requirements and any certification path.
02 / Stamping Types
Stamped Parts Built for OEM Production
We support stamping programs where small geometry changes have large assembly impact: clips, brackets, covers, plates, guards, contacts and equipment hardware.

04 / Manufacturing Process
From Stamped Prototype to Production Lot
01
DFM & Strip Review
Review hole spacing, burr direction, material grain, bend features, finish requirements and inspection gauges.
02
Prototype or Soft Tool
Validate geometry with laser-cut, punched or soft tool samples before committing to production tooling.
03
Tooling & First Article
Confirm stamped geometry, burr side, formed tabs, hole fit and lot inspection records at first article.
04
Production Stamping
Run repeated stamped parts with controlled material lots, in-process checks and bin separation by SKU.
05
Secondary Operations
Deburr, tap, install hardware, spot weld, plate or powder coat parts according to the drawing package.
06
Inspection & Packout
Verify gauge fit, burrs, finish, lot traceability and packaging before shipment.
05 / Why It Matters
What Makes a Stamping Program Work
Stamped parts are low-cost only when geometry, tooling, secondary operations and logistics are controlled together.
Stable Geometry
Hole patterns, tabs and ribs need to stay repeatable across material lots and production runs.
Burr and Edge Control
Burr direction, deburring method and edge quality affect assembly, safety and finish.
Finish Compatibility
Plating, passivation, coating and masking need to be planned around formed features and threads.
Lot Traceability
High-volume stamped parts need clean lot control so quality issues can be contained quickly.

Why OEMs Trust DRAmetal for Stamped Parts
01
Drawing-Based Project Review
Define the mating interfaces, critical dimensions, finish, inspection records and delivery requirements in the released drawing package.
02
Prototype-to-tooling path
Early samples can be made through laser, punch or soft tooling before production tooling is released.
03
Secondary process control
Deburring, tapping, hardware, plating and coating are planned with the stamped geometry, not after it.
04
Lot and SKU discipline
High-volume small parts ship with clear SKU, revision and lot separation to reduce receiving risk.

09 / FAQ
Custom Sheet Metal Stamping FAQ
Can you support both prototype and production stampings?
We can inspect geometry with laser-cut, punched or soft-tool samples, then move suitable parts into production stamping and secondary operations.
Which materials are common for stamped parts?
Cold-rolled steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper and some spring steels are common, depending on strength, conductivity, corrosion and finish needs.
Can you manage plating and deburring?
Yes. We can coordinate deburring, tapping, plating, passivation, powder coating and hardware insertion so stamped parts arrive ready for your assembly line.
