Stamping processing requires the use of molds, and many customers want to develop new products because the estimation in the later stage is not very clear. Customers do not want to invest too much money, so mold costs are the area where customers particularly want to save costs. Cost saving is a topic that any enterprise wants to pursue. So, how can stamping processing better save costs?

The cost savings of stamping processing are mainly considered from the following aspects:

In terms of hardware, the cost savings of Metal Stamping parts factories mainly lie in the selection of mold materials. The thickness of the mold material directly affects the service life and cost of the mold. According to the product structure, simplify the mold as much as possible to save mold costs, simplify the mold structure, and produce qualified products. This requires a special level of familiarity with mold structure and mold design. So, how to save costs from stamping processing?

One is the mold technology. A reasonable mold design process can save mold production time and save mold materials.

In order to ensure the formation of high-strength sheet metal in the manufacturing process of stamping processing molds, the blanking process is generally adopted, which means that the forming method after blanking has a high success rate. Moreover, compared with drawing, blanking does not have edge rings, so the material utilization rate of blanking process is higher, while the material utilization rate of deep drawing process is relatively lower, but it is easier to ensure product quality and shorten the debugging cycle. Therefore, in the stamping manufacturing process, the actual situation should be considered and the best process should be selected.

The second is the multiple utilization of mold materials.

Many stamping processes still have a lot of space to be reused after completing a product, and small parts of the same material can be manufactured using a set cutting process. Generally speaking, products developed in the way of left and right parts clamping and the first mock examination with multiple cavities are generally symmetrical. When the left and right parts produced by the mold only need to increase the size of the symmetrical parts, the single piece size on the mold, that is, the shape and size of the new process mold. In this way, we can save a set of guiding mechanisms, reduce the overall weight of the mold, save materials, and save costs.

Thirdly, from the perspective of mold design, simplifying the mold structure is undoubtedly the main aspect of saving production costs in stamping processing.

In mold structure design, there are generally some mold parts that are optional. At this point, we can remove the mold without affecting its use. The optional material thickness directly affects the service life of the mold. Hardware stamping factories generally require the service life of molds to be 800000 times, but in many small and medium-sized batch productions, the product quantity cannot reach 500000 times. This time, the requirements can be reduced by appropriately lowering the mold wall thickness, thereby reducing costs.

There are too many factors affecting the cost of stamping processing, and the actual situation of metal stamping parts factories is different, so the requirements for mold design structure are also different. Simplifying the mold structure to make stamping processing and operation simple and convenient is a key consideration for various hardware stamping parts factories.
