I have an idea for a small sheet metal product, probably using 0.020" thick stainless steel, or perhaps 0.015". If it works, I'll have 10,000 pieces fabricated in China. I'd rather not have my Chinese ...

The stamping of metal has long been an easy method of creating an intricate design in what otherwise would be a labor-intensive job. The process itself isn't that complicated—think of pressing a piece ...

A research team has used the most up-to-date simulation techniques to determine how to make the best tools to stamp complex shapes into metal sheets without the resulting parts twisting out of shape.
