Stamped metal parts
Stamped metal parts offer accurate and repeatable performance in a compact footprint. They are used in a wide range of consumer, industrial, and mission-critical products.
Lesjöfors offers a range of standard metal stamped parts, as well as custom designs tailored to your exact specifications. Each part is made with tight tolerances, consistently high quality, and cost-efficient production.
What are metal stamped parts?
Metal stamped parts are made by pressing flat sheet metal into specific shapes, using a stamping press and tooling (dies). They are cut and shaped into features such as holes, bends, and forms.
Metal stamping is widely used in manufacturing because it can produce high volumes of precise, complex, and repeatable parts at relatively low cost.
Product range & availability
Custom stamped parts
Every application presents its own unique challenges, and we can design custom stamped metal parts to meet them. We work closely with you to design stampings tailored to your desired shape and exact performance needs. Wherever you operate, our global distribution ensures reliable, fast fulfillment.
With decades of industry experience, we ensure that each stamped part is not only functional but optimized for its intended use.
Types of metal stamped parts
Manufacturing metal stamped parts includes both cutting and forming operations. Different die strategies are chosen based on geometry, production volume, and tolerance needs.
Progressive die stamped parts
Stamping can run multiple operations in sequence. This allows high-volume, repeatable parts with minimal handling.
Multislide pressed parts
Multi-slide forming is used for intricate bends and complex strip components. The process runs on dedicated multislide machines.
Custom metal stamped parts
Engineered solutions use the right die, material, and finishing steps. Together, these deliver reliable results tailored to each application.
Advanced metal stamped parts manufacturing
As a precision pressed parts supplier, Lesjöfors integrates design, tool engineering, and production strategy to optimize manufacturability and quality from prototype through full-scale production. Advanced tooling and tightly controlled processes ensure consistent accuracy while minimizing waste and reducing changeover time.
- Tooling engineered for tolerance and throughput.
- Process windows validated for repeatability.
- Scalable production for global programs.
What is metal stamping, and how does it work?
Metal stamping is a manufacturing process that shapes flat sheets of metal into specific parts using a stamping press and a tool-and-die set. A sheet or coil of metal is loaded into the press, and a die (custom-made mold/tool) is installed in the press.
The press then forces the punch down onto the sheet material, allowing it to be blanked, bent, punched, deep-drawn, or embossed. Step by step, these actions shape it into the required geometry until the finished metal-stamped part is formed and ejected.
Stamped metal part materials
Metal stamped parts can be manufactured using a variety of materials depending on the component’s purpose. Steel (carbon, stainless, or galvanized) is most common for strength and affordability, while aluminum is chosen for its light weight and corrosion resistance. Copper and its alloys (brass, bronze) are used where electrical or thermal conductivity is important.
For high-performance needs, nickel alloys, titanium, or even precious metals like gold and silver may be used. The choice depends on factors such as strength, formability, conductivity, corrosion resistance, and cost.
Selecting the right material and surface treatment early in the project influences both quality and cost. Lesjöfors can help you choose the right material during our custom design and development process.
