Progressive Die Stamping FAQs

Stewart EFI works with a broad range of standard, specialty and exotic metals for progressive die stamping, including carbon and stainless steels, aluminum, copper, brass, nickel alloys and other engineered materials. We can also process pre-plated, anodized, heat-treated and inlaid materials to meet specific application requirements. Our engineering team can help determine the material best suited to your component’s performance, manufacturability and cost requirements.

Yes. We use modular tooling and design-for-manufacture principles to reduce initial costs and guarantee tooling for the life of the part.

Our progressive die stamping equipment includes presses with die protection, defect detection, and press monitoring systems to prevent overloads and costly downtime, helping to produce defect-free parts.

We can supply short-run prototypes using production-intent processes to support your trial runs and accelerate time to market for the progressive die stamped and precision metal components we produce.

Progressive die stamping is commonly used to produce high-volume precision components such as brackets, clips, terminals, contacts, connectors, shields and other small to medium-sized metal parts. The process is particularly well suited for components that require multiple cutting, forming, piercing or other operations and consistent dimensions across large production runs.

Progressive die stamping is well suited for components that require multiple cutting and forming operations, precise positioning for consistency and repeatability, close tolerances even at high press tonnage, and high-volume production. The team at Stewart EFI can work with you to determine the right progressive die or stamping process for your design and application.

Stewart EFI manufactures progressive die stampings using material thicknesses from .002 in. to .120 in. (0.05 mm to 3.0 mm). Part size and geometry depend on the material, die design, press and forming requirements – our engineering team can evaluate your component to determine the appropriate progressive die stamping process.

Yes. Our in-house teams provide Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and engineering support throughout the project. These services help lower production costs, optimize tooling requirements, reduce turnaround times, evaluate material options, and ensure your part’s quality, finish and performance meet your application requirements.

Progressive Die Stamping Solutions for Your Application

Our progressive die and stamping capabilities can be combined with deep draw, slide forming, secondary machining, and automated assembly. Stewart EFI offers unmatched flexibility in selecting the best manufacturing process, or combination of processes, for your part.
