Precision Machining You Can Rely On
At Crenshaw Die & Manufacturing, we specialize in precision metal stamping – the process of transforming flat metal stock into complex, repeatable parts with tight tolerances. Using state-of-the-art presses, in-house tooling, and decades of stamping expertise, we deliver quality, consistency, and scalability for your most demanding components.
Precision metal stamping uses custom dies and presses to cut, form, bend, pierce, emboss, or draw sheet metal into finished shapes. Unlike manual or less precise methods, precision stamping enables complex features, tight tolerances, and high repeatability across large production runs.
Depending on the design, a single strike may complete the part (single-stage), or the blank may pass through multiple stations (progressive or series operations).
| Capability | Details / Application |
|---|---|
| Die Types | Progressive, compound, transfer, single-hit, coining, embossing, and combination dies |
| Operations Supported | Blanking, punching, forming, bending, embossing, coining, drawing, trimming |
| Material Range | Aluminum, stainless steel, mild steels, copper, brass, and specialist alloys |
| Thickness Range | From thin foils to moderate gauge depending on material and part design |
| Run Sizes | From small prototypes to full production volumes |
| Tooling Life & Maintenance | Regular die maintenance, refurbishment, and upgrades to maintain consistency |
| Design Assistance & DFM | Feedback on part design (material selection, tolerancing, feature placement) to optimize manufacturability |
Because we also offer CNC machining, press brake forming, deep draw, sheet metal fabrication, and secondary operations, you benefit from:
We provide precision stamped parts for:
Examples include brackets, contact plates, connectors, heat sinks, housings, micro stamped parts, and more.
To achieve optimal results, we work closely with you on design and material decisions:
Ensuring consistent part quality is core to our stamping process:
Precision stamping emphasizes very tight tolerances, consistent repeatability, and complex features. It often requires more careful tooling, finer control, and quality systems than general-purpose stamping.
We use progressive, compound, transfer, and combination dies, including coining, embossing, and in-die trim operations.
Aluminum, stainless steel, mild steel, brass, copper, and various specialty alloys.
This depends on material and design. For very fine or micro-stamped parts, we evaluate each case and select appropriate tooling strategy.
Yes — we provide Design for Manufacturability (DFM) feedback to ensure your design is cost-efficient, robust, and producible.
