Frequently Asked Questions

What tolerances can Chinese metal stamping companies achieve?

Leading Chinese stamping companies routinely achieve tolerances of plus or minus 0.01 to 0.05 mm for precision components using progressive die technology. Fine blanking operations can achieve plus or minus 0.005 mm on specific features. High-speed stamping lines maintain these tolerances at production speeds of 200 to 1,000 strokes per minute.

How much does custom metal stamping cost in China?

Progressive die tooling costs range from 5,000 to 100,000 USD depending on complexity. Per-piece costs for high-volume production (100,000+ units) range from 0.01 to 2.00 USD for simple parts, and 0.50 to 10.00 USD for complex multi-stage stamped components. Minimum order quantities typically start at 5,000 to 10,000 pieces.

What metals are commonly stamped in Chinese factories?

Chinese stamping factories work with cold-rolled steel (SPCC, SPCD), stainless steel (304, 316, 430), aluminum alloys (5052, 6061), copper and brass, titanium, and nickel alloys. Material thicknesses typically range from 0.1 mm to 6.0 mm for progressive die stamping. Coil-fed operations are standard for volumes above 10,000 pieces.

Do Chinese stamping companies support design for manufacturing?

Yes, most tier-one and tier-two companies offer DFM services. They employ teams of stamping simulation engineers who use AutoForm, PAM-STAMP or DynaForm software to validate formability before tooling. Companies like Sanhua, Minth and Guoxing provide full engineering support from concept through production launch.

What is the typical lead time for stamped metal parts from China?

Simple parts using existing tooling: 7-15 days. New progressive die tooling: 25-45 days tooling + 10-20 days production. Complex multi-stage stamping: 60-90 days from design approval to mass production. Rush orders available at premium pricing.
