High-Volume Production with Progressive Die Stamping
Sheet metal stamping uses a custom-built die, mounted in a mechanical or hydraulic press, to blank, pierce, bend, and form a part in one or more coordinated stages. In a progressive die, coil stock advances through multiple stations in a single press stroke, so a finished part can be blanked, pierced, formed, and separated in one continuous cycle.
This makes stamping the most efficient process for high-volume production once tooling is built. At BSG, we evaluate your annual volume, part geometry, and material to determine whether stamping or CNC punching delivers the better balance of tooling cost and per-part price for your project.

Materials We Work With
Our stamping presses and dies are matched to a range of metals selected for formability, strength, and finish.
| Material | Grades / Alloys | Max Thickness |
|---|---|---|
| Deep-Drawing Steel | DC01, DC03, DC04, DC06 | 3.0 mm |
| Galvanized Steel | DX51D+Z, DX54D+Z | 4.0 mm |
| Stainless Steel | 1.4301 (304), 1.4404 (316L), 1.4016 (430) | 3.0 mm |
| Aluminum | EN AW-1050A, EN AW-5754, EN AW-5052, EN AW-6082 | 4.0 mm |
| Brass & Copper | Various tempers | Subject to review |
Deep-drawing operations require low-carbon, high-formability grades. Contact BSG to confirm the right grade for your part geometry.
Stamping vs. CNC Punching
Stamping offers the lowest cost per part at high volume and enables deep drawing, while CNC punching avoids tooling investment for prototypes and lower-volume runs.
| Feature | Stamping | CNC Punching |
|---|---|---|
| Tooling Investment | High (custom die required) | Low (standard tool library) |
| Best Suited Volume | Very high volume (typically 50,000+) | Prototype to medium volume |
| Deep Drawing | ||
| Cycle Time per Part | Fastest (fractions of a second) | Fast (per-hit cycle) |
| Cost per Part at High Volume | Lowest | Higher |
| Design Change Cost | High (requires new or modified die) | Low (reprogram only) |
| Lead Time to First Part | Longer (die design and build) | Shorter (no die needed) |
| Prototype / Low-Volume Cost | Higher (tooling amortized over fewer parts) | Lower (no tooling investment) |
