What is the difference between stamping and deep drawing?

 Stamping cuts and forms flat sheet metal using dies. Deep drawing pulls sheet metal into deeper hollow shapes. Deep drawing suits cups, shells and housings.

• Stamping covers blanking, piercing and simple forming.
• Deep drawing creates one-piece hollow parts.
• Both processes share our 80–400 ton presses.
