The Cost Effective Stamping Method

Also known as tubular stamping, tube stamping is a relatively new technology used to produce complex, tubular parts that are generally uncommon in the stamping world.

Tube stamping offers design advantages, greater strength-to-weight ratios and up to 30% lower manufacturing costs than screw-machined parts, die casting and aluminum extrusions. We can often implement special design features, such as hemmed or coined edges, without incurring additional machining costs.

Our Tubular Stamping Process - Features & Benefits

Our team can convert your existing machined parts into tubular stamped components to achieve the following benefits:

• Class A finishes
• Cost-savings and weight reduction opportunities
• Highly complex, tubular shapes and parts
• Varying shapes (round, oval, square, etc.) and diameters
• Value-added features such as fasteners can be installed during the stamping process
• Aesthetic design features such as hemmed edges and coined shapes

Common Tubular Stamped Shapes

Below is a sample of common tubular stamped shapes:

• Open, diagonal and overlap seams
• Angular ends
• Oil grooves
• Special shapes
• Flanged or nosed-in ends
• Notches
• V-joint
• Projections
• Beads
• Handles
• Bolt threads
