Stamping is the process of creating three-dimensional parts, lettering, and other surface definition onto materials. This is achieved through the use of forms and dies which are forced into the surface of the material by extreme pressure. When removed, the patterns on the forms and dies are indelibly stamped into the material. Many standard and exotic engineering materials can be stamped or formed with pressure, although metal stamping is the primary application. Machinery used to perform stamping and forming services range from relatively simple manual presses to highly computerized progressive die processors, in which the part goes through multiple stages of pressing during its fabrication.
