Stamping is a metalworking process by which sheet metal strips are punched using a press tool which is loaded on a machine press or stamping press to form the sheet into a desired shape. This could be a single stage operation where every stroke of the press produce the desired form on the sheet metal part, or could occur through a series of stages.

The most common stamping operations are:

• Piercing
• Fine blanking
• Bending
• Forming
• Coining
• progressive stamping
• Deep Drawing
• Embossing
• Extrusion
