From Metrigraphics LLC
If you look at core technology, it can be divided into three levels of technology. Traditionally, small metal parts are made by stamping, taking multiple dies on a tool, a high-pressure press, and stamping out the parts. "You are able to get a high volume of parts that require minimal tolerances with not a lot of variety in terms of complexity of the part," says Luke Volpe, director of product development engineering.
