Deep drawing is a manufacturing process used to create hollow metal parts by forming a flat sheet into a desired shape. This is achieved by placing the sheet over a die and using a punch to push it into the die, stretching the material in the process. The technique is commonly used for producing items like cans, automotive components, and kitchen sinks.
The process requires careful control of factors such as material thickness, punch speed, and lubrication to prevent defects like tearing or wrinkling. Deep drawing is favored for its ability to produce complex shapes with high precision and minimal waste.
