Metal stamping and forging produce high-strength structural components — stamping by pressing sheet metal through a die, forging by compressing heated or room-temperature metal into shape. Both align the metal’s internal grain structure for strength that machining from bar stock can’t match.
Both processes need dedicated tooling, so they’re volume plays — the tooling cost only pays off once part counts are high enough.
