At Stewart EFI, engineering support isn’t an add-on; it’s built into every project. With more than 90 years of precision metal stamping experience, our team helps OEMs and Tier 1 & 2 suppliers select the right process, whether deep draw, progressive die, or slide forming stamping. Using advanced software, rapid prototyping, and hands-on expertise, we optimize manufacturability, control costs, and accelerate production while delivering custom engineered metal parts that meet the strictest standards.
Our engineering support spans five core disciplines that streamline every stage of your project, from initial concept through full-scale production, ensuring precision, repeatability, and reduced risk.
Engineers evaluate drawings and materials to determine the most cost-effective process: deep draw, progressive die, or slide forming.
Tool designs are production-ready, leveraging AutoCAD, Inventor, Visi CAD, 3D simulation, and rapid prototyping.
Precision tooling is fabricated in-house or with trusted supplier partners to meet exacting standards.
Tools are guaranteed for the life of the program, supporting consistent production and minimal downtime.
Toolmakers and engineers collaborate to develop and validate new tooling quickly.
Integration with high-speed stamping presses is ensured, keeping launch schedules on track.
Certified finishing, coating, and packaging services are coordinated to ensure components arrive ready for assembly.
Attention to detail ensures parts meet specifications, protective coatings, and delivery timelines.
Dedicated project managers oversee APQP activities, schedules, and communication.
Your single point of contact keeps the program aligned from design review to final shipment.
Choosing Stewart EFI means more than metal stamping. You gain a partner who helps optimize designs, reduce risk, and maintain production schedules. Our vertically integrated facilities, ISO and IATF-certified quality systems, and deep material enable us to deliver defect-free, custom engineered metal parts efficiently.
We provide early design reviews to optimize manufacturability, material selection, and cost before tooling begins.
Yes. We offer short-run, production-intent prototypes for testing and validation prior to high-volume production.
Our in-house tool fabrication and preventative maintenance programs guarantee tooling for the life of your program. Deep draw stamping consolidates multiple operations into a single, high-speed process. This reduces scrap, lowers labor costs, and shortens production time compared to machining, casting, or welding.
Absolutely. Our engineers coordinate certified post-process suppliers and packaging to deliver parts ready for your assembly line.
We serve automotive, aerospace, medical, electronics, military, and more, helping customers create complex, precision metal components efficiently and reliably.
From initial concept to full-scale production, Stewart EFI’s engineering support team helps you choose the right process, design the right tooling, and deliver custom engineered metal parts on time and to exacting standards. Reach out today to explore how our engineering support for deep draw, progressive die, and slide formed stamping can improve your program’s efficiency and reliability.
