Overview of the main types of stamping processes What are the main types of stamping processes? If you’re new to manufacturing or designing sheet-metal parts, it helps to know the basic categories.

Other less common or mixed operations fall into an “other processes” category. Understanding these groups helps you choose the right tooling and material treatments.

It’s fast and widely used for blanking and perforation tasks. Bending applies force at one or more lines to produce angles or flanges. These…
