Metal stamping is a manufacturing process used to shape flat materials or coils into specific forms. This process involves various techniques, including drop feed, punching, embossing, and progressive die stamping. Depending on the complexity of the part, these techniques can be applied individually or in combination. During metal stamping, blank coils or sheets are fed into a stamping press equipped with specialized tools and dies, which shape the metal by creating features and surfaces.
This method is ideal for mass-producing complex parts, ranging from automotive door panels and gears to small electrical components used in devices like cell phones and computers. Metal stamping is widely utilized across industries such as automotive, industrial, lighting, and medical, among others.

Sheet metal fabrication is the process of forming parts from a metal sheet. Your 3D CAD files are converted into machine code, which controls a machine that precisely cuts and forms the sheets into the final part. Typical forming tools are brakes, punches, and dies which can form angular bends and features. Installing inserts, such as PEM inserts, is standard practice along with welding and finishing services. Sheet metal parts are known for their durability, which makes them great for end-use applications (e.g. chassis). Parts used for low volume prototypes and high volume production runs are most cost-effective due to large initial setup and material costs.
Shbury can provide precision sheet metal fabrication that can accommodate the needs of a wide range of industries and applications. We operate a well-equipped facility that is geared for complex bending, air bending, coining, CNC turret punching, louvering, embossing, laser cutting, certified welding and spot welding.
At the heart of our sheet metal fabrication service is a number of cutting edge bending systems that give us a distinct competitive advantage. Fast set-ups, offline programming, offline simulation and superb accuracy set us apart from our competition. Our Accurpress bending machines can provide bending of up to 9 axes of control allowing for unmatched versatility. The capabilities of these systems are further enhanced by the high precision they can achieve; depending on configuration, tolerances of ±0.05mm are common.
Due to the complex nature of these advanced manufacturing processes, we utilize a virtual manufacturing process that simulates each bend in sequence before any physical part is formed. Set-up for traditional bending can be very time-consuming and produce a great deal of scrap. Virtual manufacturing allows us to determine the best possible path, and ensures that we take full advantage of the powerful features that these advanced bending systems possess. These systems allow for forming of virtually any geometry in a single set-up, with times being less than 10 minutes in many cases. Basically, “First Piece is a Good Piece!”
Forming and bending are only one aspect of our sheet metal fabrication capabilities. We also provide welding, spot welding, brazing and soldering, all performed by highly trained certified welders. We specialize in PQR and WPS compliant welding; though these standards are mostly for the defense industry, our ability to provide conformity is a testament to our dedication to quality.
As a single source solution, our list of services includes a number of related processes that round our capabilities. These include fastener insertion, riveting, graining, tumbling, adhesive bonding and value added assembly. These can be combined with a myriad of finishing processes such as polishing, wet painting, powder coating and a variety of plating.

The process accommodates a wide range of metals, including steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and their alloys, enabling diverse applications.
Precision and Consistency:
Metal stamping delivers high accuracy and repeatability, ensuring uniformity in parts even for complex designs.
Complex Shapes and Features:
With techniques like progressive die stamping, intricate shapes and features, such as holes, bends, and embossing, can be achieved in a single process.
Scalability:
Metal stamping easily scales from small batches to millions of parts without compromising quality.
Durability of Tooling:
Stamping dies are robust and long-lasting, allowing consistent performance over extended production runs.
Reduced Material Waste:
Advanced tooling and processes optimize material usage, minimizing waste and contributing to cost savings.
Wide Industry Applications:
Metal stamping is essential for industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, medical, and consumer goods, thanks to its ability to produce parts for diverse applications.

Metal stamping is a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective manufacturing solution, particularly for high-volume and complex part production.
SHBURY offers the following materials for our standard and custom metal stampings:
Steel: CRS steels such as 1008, 1010, or 1018 are popular; general purpose materials are well suited for cold forming.
Stainless steels: such as 301, 304, 316/316L, etc. Stainless steel 301 has excellent tensile strength, while 304 has more significant properties and corrosion resistance at higher temperatures. 316/316L steel has the best corrosion resistance of the three, but is also more costly.
Copper: Includes C110, which is a strong conductor and easy to form.
Brass: Brass 230 (85/15) and 260 (70/30) have good formability and corrosion resistance. These brass alloys are also known as red brass and yellow brass, respectively.
SHBURY can stamp other sheet metal materials upon request, so feel free to contact our experts about the material you need.
Our stamped materials can be sandblasted, powder coated, chemically thin-filmed, anodized, and post-treated with gold, silver, or chemical nickel plating.
Manufacturing process versatility is at the core of our ability to provide customers with a single-source solution.
At Shbury part of this capability is high precision 2D laser cutting services. Laser cutting is a versatile process that allows for efficient cutting of parts at a range of production volumes.
Our New TruLaser has a maximum power output of 24,000 watts and a cutting table that can accommodate sheets up to 3000mm in length and 1000 in width, 100mm in thickness.
Most any material, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, can be cut with an accuracy of ±0.05mm.
The maximum allowable sheet thickness will vary depending on the material and ranges from 1.18″ for aluminum to 1.18″ for carbon steel. Features such as holes, slots, and other custom patterns can be cut on preformed parts utilizing our 2D laser cutting and contouring capabilities.
Our laser cutting process includes lights out manufacturing capabilities. The cutting table is equipped with a new 19 position tower with automated material retrieval and parts storage, allowing for 24/7 operation without direct operator supervision. This automation lowers overhead costs and reduces manufacturing lead time. In addition to laser cutting, full CNC machining, precision sheet metal fabrication, finishing, value-added assembly and inspection services are available.

Metal stamping is a process that forms sheet metal or slit metals into two-dimensional parts shaped for a variety of applications. Our team at Shbury Technology Co.,Ltd offers a full suite of metal stamping services, including:
Blanking
Drawing
Forming
Piercing
Progressive Die Stamping
Progressive die stamping helps create metal parts with complex geometry, typically reducing labor costs and production times associated with fabricating complicated parts.
Progressive die stamping moves a workpiece through a number of stations with specialized functions. Each station adds to the work of the previous one, resulting in a completed part at the end of the process. This method incorporates several stamping techniques, including punching, coining, bending, and other methods of modifying raw metal, and it operates via an automatic feeding system.
Drawn Stamping
The drawn process radially draws a sheet metal blank into a forming die using a mechanical puncher. Components that need several different diameters benefit from drawn processes, which create parts to the desired specifications more cost effectively than turning processes.
Fourslide And Vertislide Forming
Fourslide and Vertislide forming operates similarly to the progressive die metal stamping process, but it uses additional forming stations to accommodate client specifications. A metal stamping die shapes parts from the inserted sheet metal, and a die component knows as a punch helps with the actual shaping operation itself. The punch pushes the sheet metal through the die to provide operators with a finished shape.
