Custom stamped parts, finished in one order.

A die is a one-time tooling cost. It depends on the number of stations, the size of the part and whether the die is progressive or transfer. In the quote the die is its own line, apart from the price per part, so you see what the tool costs and what each part costs. It amortizes over the run: the more parts come off the die, the less each one costs.

It depends on the part, the material and the quantity. Below the quantity where a die pays for itself, laser cutting and press-brake bending avoid the die cost entirely; above it, the stamping die’s speed and low price per part win. We look at the crossover with your actual quantity and tell you which route is cheaper.

The die is built for your part and it is yours; in the quote it appears as its own cost. It stays and runs in our shops and is not shipped, so every run comes from the same die. If you need the terms on moving it, ask us before you accept the quote.

Cold-rolled and stainless steel, aluminum, and copper and brass for electrical contacts — from around 0.1 mm foil up to about 6 mm structural gauge, matched to strength, formability and conductivity.

Yes. Deep drawing pulls flat sheet into cups, shells and enclosures — housings, covers and battery cans formed in the die without a weld. It is designed into the die from the start.

Yes. Deburring, plating (zinc, tin, nickel), passivation and painting are specified under the same quote, so parts arrive finished, not raw. Assembly and packaging can go in the same order too.

The 3D model as a STEP file and the 2D drawing as a PDF. The model gives the geometry; the drawing carries what the model cannot say, such as tolerances, critical dimensions and finish. Material, gauge, quantity and plating are chosen when you upload the part. A mutual NDA is in place before you upload any file.

Between 24 and 48 hours from the moment you upload the files, with a price per part and the lead time of each one. If the part can’t be stamped as drawn, we tell you the change it needs before anything is made.

We work from a single part to production runs. A die is built to be run again and again, so for one part or a short run laser cutting and bending, or CNC, is usually the better route; we say so and requote.

Then it's requoted as laser + bending for lower volumes, or CNC for thick three-dimensional parts. Asking for a quote doesn't commit you to a process.
