Metal stamping, it’s an integral part of manufacturing today. But, there are many facets to metal stamping. With a wide range of capabilities, machines, materials used, etc., it leaves lots of room for questions. Therefore, we put together some of our most frequently asked questions about metal stamping here at Apex. We would love the opportunity to be part of your next project. Reach out today and lets talk.
Request A QuoteWhat are the types of metal stamping processes?
Metal stamping techniques are divided into three categories:
- Progressive Dies
- Four-slide Tooling
- Multi-slide Tooling
What are the advantages of Metal Stamping?
Stamping has a number of advantages over other more labor-intensive techniques, such as:
- Reduced die costs
- Elimination of secondary costs
- Reduced costs
What is the stamping process in manufacturing?
Stamping is an industrial manufacturing technique for transforming flat metal sheets into desired finished shapes. A continuous coil of steel is fed through a stamping press, where the metal is formed into a final shape by a tool and die surface.

The Impact of Temperature on Spring Performance
The Impact of Temperature on Spring Performance
Springs may appear simple, but their behavior and integrity when in use can change dramatically when exposed to extreme heat or extreme cold. Temperature plays a critical role in how a spring functions in any application. At Apex we have a deep understanding of materials and engineering around those challenges.
