Precision Metal Stamping
Milwaukee’s Most Experienced Metal Stamping Company
Mahuta Tool has extensive experience in metal stamping. We design and build progressive stampings, piercings, and blanking dies for a variety of production applications.
As a CNC machine shop and tool and die manufacturer, we produce all our own dies which improves quality and turnaround while controlling costs.
What is Metal Stamping?
Metal stamping involves various techniques to convert metal sheets into different shapes using processes like drawing and blanking. These processes stretch and cut metal sheets in two or three dimensions using tools attached to a pressing machine. Modernization and automation have enhanced metal stamping, allowing it to produce complex designs quickly and efficiently.
Metal Stamping Capabilities
Metal stamping is a versatile and efficient manufacturing process used to convert flat metal sheets into various shapes. Key capabilities include:
- High Production Volume: Ideal for producing thousands to millions of parts.
- Complex Shapes: Advanced techniques like deep drawing, bending, embossing, and coining create detailed components.
- Rapid Production Speed: High output rate with automated feeding systems.
- Consistency and Precision: Stamping dies ensure each part is identical.
- Cost-Effective: Low cost per part for high-volume orders.
- Versatile Processes: Includes blanking, notching, bending, embossing, and piercing.
- Material Efficiency: Maximizes material utilization, reducing waste.
Common Metal Stamping Materials
Metal stamping works with various metals, each suited for different applications:
- Steel and Stainless Steel:
- Steel: Strong and durable for automotive and construction.
- Stainless Steel: Corrosion-resistant for medical devices and food processing.
- Aluminum Alloys: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant for aerospace and electronics.
- Brass Alloys: Corrosion-resistant and conductive for electrical components and plumbing.
- Copper Alloys: Excellent electrical and thermal conductivity for electrical and heat exchanger components.
- Nickel Alloys: High-temperature and corrosion resistance for aerospace and chemical processing.
- High-Temperature Alloys: Withstand extreme conditions in gas turbines and jet engines.
- Spring Steel: High yield strength for springs and fasteners.
- Titanium: Strong and corrosion-resistant for aerospace and medical implants.

Metal Stamping vs. CNC Machining
Before deciding to work with computer numerical control (CNC) machining or metal stamping, several factors come into play. The critical consideration is cost, as it relates to metal stamping versus CNC machining. Another key factor is production speed, with CNC machining having a slower production rate than metal stamping.
Three factors to consider prior to choosing metal stamping or CNC machining are:
- Material Tolerance: CNC machining excels with materials requiring low tolerance due to its precision, whereas metal stamping is suitable for materials that can be easily bent or shaved to shape.
- Quantity: Metal stamping is ideal for high-volume production due to its efficiency and speed, while CNC machining is more suitable for lower-quantity production because of its higher cost per unit but greater accuracy.
- Price: Metal stamping generally offers a lower production cost per unit, especially for large quantities. CNC machining, though more expensive, provides superior precision and is better suited for complex and low-volume production.
