OEM Sheet Metal Fabrication Services Custom Punching Press Stamping Part

We prefer 2D drawings in PDF or DWG/DXF format with all critical dimensions, tolerances, and material callouts. 3D models (STEP, IGS, SLDPRT, X_T) are extremely helpful for complex parts and DFM analysis. Please ensure files are in 1:1 scale.

Tooling cost varies dramatically based on part complexity, size, precision, and material. Simple single-stage blanking die: $1,000 - $5,000. Moderate progressive die: $5,000 - $20,000. Complex progressive or transfer die: $20,000 - $100,000+. Lead time is typically 4-8 weeks for production tooling. Prototype/sample tooling can be faster (2-3 weeks). We provide a fixed-price, detailed tooling quotation after DFM review.

For parts requiring custom tooling, our standard MOQ is 10,000 pieces to justify the tooling investment. However, we can be flexible for strategic partnerships or simpler parts. For parts using existing standard tooling or shared tooling, the MOQ can be much lower (1,000-5,000 pieces).

We strongly prefer to source the materials. We have established relationships with major mills, ensuring consistent quality, proper certification, and the best pricing. We can work with Customer Supplied Material (CSM) if you have specific requirements, but this requires special handling and a liability waiver for material-related defects.

Yes. We provide full Material Test Certificates (MTCs or Mill Certs) from the steel or metal mill for all raw materials used in your production run. This is standard for our quality documentation package.
