LTC Proto's Types of Stamping
We provide single-stage, multi-stage, progressive die, deep draw, and fourslide stamping to suit different production needs. LTC Proto’s team reviews your 3D models and drawings to recommend the most suitable method for your parts.
| Types | Description |
|---|---|
| Progressive Die Stamping | Progressive die stamping forms complex, deep parts in multiple steps—ideal for high-volume production. Transfer die moves parts individually, not on a continuous strip. |
| Deep Draw Stamping | Deep draw stamping forms rigid, deep-cavity parts by heavily deforming metal. Standard draw stamping uses shallower dies for less complex shapes. |
| Fourslide Stamping | Fourslide stamping forms parts from four sides, ideal for small, complex components. It's fast, flexible, and cost-effective for electronics, medical, and aerospace industries. |
| Hydroforming | Hydroforming uses high-pressure fluid to press metal sheets into die shapes—fast, precise, and ideal for forming multiple parts at once. |
| Blanking | Blanking cuts raw shapes from sheet metal; fineblanking offers smoother edges and higher precision for tight-tolerance parts. |
| Coining | Coining forms small round parts with high force, hardening the metal and eliminating burrs and rough edges. |
| Punching | Punching removes material from a workpiece, unlike blanking, which cuts out a piece to form a part. |
| Embossing | Embossing forms 3D designs in metal, creating raised patterns or depressions on the surface. |
| Bending | Bending shapes metal along one axis into U, V, or L forms, while flanging creates tabs by bending specific workpiece areas. |

Metal Stamping Production Volumes
At LTC Proto, we tailor each production volume option to meet the specific needs of your project, ensuring high-quality results, cost-efficiency, and on-time delivery.
Our Tight Tolerances and Quality Assurance
Our suppliers optimize tool and die designs to meet strict tolerance requirements, ensuring precise outcomes. However, tighter tolerances can increase both complexity and cost.
Routine inspections ensure that output meets specifications, supported by a Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) program for consistent quality. Stamping tools are regularly checked for wear, and check-fixtures or check-gauges are used for long-run stamping lines.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Metal Stamping
Pros of Metal Stamping
Stamping is ideal for producing complex parts at scale. It specifically offers:
- Delivers low cost per part for mass production
- Capable of producing intricate shapes and contours
- Suitable for thick sheet metals using processes like fineblanking
- Scalable for high-volume production—thousands to millions annually
Cons of Metal Stamping
Metal stamping comes with upfront tooling costs and longer setup times. Once the tooling is complete, production becomes fast and cost-effective. Key drawbacks include:
- Longer lead times for initial parts due to die fabrication time
- High upfront costs from tooling, check fixtures, and one-time engineering efforts
- Multiple die iterations may be required to ensure consistent, spec-accurate production
