Stamping is a manufacturing process that involves creating designs or shapes by pressing a material, usually metal or paper, between two dies. The dies are specially shaped tools that apply pressure to cut, form, or imprint the material. This technique is widely used in industries for producing parts, packaging, and decorative items. There are various types of stamping, including die stamping, sheet metal stamping, and rubber stamping. Each type serves different purposes, from creating intricate designs to producing large quantities of uniform parts. Stamping is valued for its efficiency, precision, and ability to produce consistent results.
