Sourcing metal stamping parts from China isn't about finding the cheapest quote. It's about finding a supplier who understands your tolerances, delivers on time, and doesn't make excuses when something goes wrong. China accounts for over 60% of global metal stamping output, with a market value that reached USD 12.8 billion in 2024. That scale means competitive pricing. But it also means you need a partner who can navigate the difference between a factory that cuts corners and one that builds parts right. We've been stamping metal in Dongfang since 2006 - brackets, terminals, housings, clips, shields, drawn shells. Steel, stainless, aluminum, copper, brass. Send us your drawing. We'll tell you honestly if we're the right fit
Stamping Processes
| Process Type | Best For | Material Thickness | Speed | Tooling Cost | Per-Part Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Progressive Die | Brackets, terminals, clips, high-volume flat parts | 0.3–4.0 mm | 100–1,500 SPM | High | Very Low |
| Transfer Die | Large shells, deep draws, automotive panels | 0.8–6.0 mm | 10–25 SPM | Medium–High | Low |
| Deep Drawing | Cups, cans, enclosures, cylindrical housings | 0.5–6.0 mm | 15–40 SPM | Medium | Low–Medium |
| Compound Die | Flat blanks with holes, washers, gaskets | 0.3–3.0 mm | 30–80 SPM | Medium | Low |
| Fine Blanking | Precision gears, tight-tolerance flat parts | 0.5–6.0 mm | 30–60 SPM | High | Medium |
How to read this table:
*Progressive die stamping is the workhorse for high volume. You'll pay more for tooling upfront - $3,000 to $20,000 depending on complexity - but per-part costs drop below $0.10 at scale. Transfer stamping makes sense for deeper parts that can't stay attached to the strip. Deep drawing is for anything that needs a cavity: sensor housings, battery cans, caps. Compound dies are simpler and cheaper; good for mid-volume flat parts. Fine blanking costs more but gives you near-machined edge quality without secondary operations.
Quick FAQ
Q: What's the minimum order quantity?
*A: No hard MOQ for prototyping. We'll run one piece to validate the tool. For production, we recommend 5,000+ pieces to amortize tooling cost. Smaller runs are possible but per-part pricing reflects setup time.*
Q: How long does tooling take?
A: Simple compound die: 15–25 days. Progressive die: 30–45 days. Complex transfer tooling: 45–60 days. Rush options available.
Q: Can you match an existing part?
*A: Send us a sample or 3D scan. We reverse-engineer the geometry and build tooling to replicate or improve the original design.*
Q: What file formats do you accept?
A: STEP, IGES, DWG, DXF, PDF. 3D models preferred for accurate quoting.
Q: Do you handle assembly and secondary operations?
A: Yes. Tapping, welding, riveting, insert molding, and hardware installation. We also manage surface finishing - zinc plating, nickel plating, anodizing, powder coating, e-coat.
