Stamping Fundamentals
   
 

This course explains the process of draw forming – the stamping process for making sheet metal parts used in passenger vehicles and other sheet metal products. The class explains the steps in the process and explains common draw forming terminology. The emphasis is on understanding the process in terms of inputs and outputs, die types and functions, and common quality measures for stamped panels.

Audience & Benefits
   

●

 Steel and aluminum sheet metal industry employees will benefit when communicating with automotive, appliance, and other users of sheet steel products.
 

●

 

 Automotive and other industry employees who are new to the stamping side of the business will benefit by jump-starting their learning of how the process works.
 

●

 

 Designers, sculptors, and design engineers who are looking for a “design for manufacturability” of stamped parts will greatly benefit by beginning to discover what's possible (or not!) with the sheet metal stamping process.
