Questions

Metal stamping FAQ

What presses do Los Angeles stampers run?

It varies. Gerhart Stamping in Burbank runs high speed presses from 22 to 60 tons. Metal Products Engineering lists a 121 ton Aida press.

How old are these shops?

Gerhart Stamping was established in 1963. Cygnet Stamping & Fabricating in Glendale started in 1974.

When is stamping worth it?

When you need many of the same part. For a few parts, laser cutting and bending is often cheaper.

Good to know

  • Say the yearly quantity, not just the first order.
  • Ask what the die costs and who owns it.
