Deep Drawing

Deep drawing is a process which is used to create cylindrical components from sheet metal material. It is widely renowned for its ability to produce cylindrical components rapidly, making it well-suited to high-volume production.

Firstly, a blank is inserted between the blank holder and the die - the blank itself tends to be circular in shape to provide a uniform finish on the component. The force of a punch is then used to draw the blank down into the die, resulting in the blank taking on a cylindrical shape - usually with no compromise to the material thickness.

Deep drawing can be used on a number of different materials, including stainless steel, aluminium, brass, carbon steel and even harder materials such as titanium. Whilst it is great for producing large volumes of the same part, owing to the cost of tooling and the time to set up, deep drawing may not be cost-effective for smaller batches.

What is the best method for suppliers to contact you?

We will be putting suppliers in contact with you directly so they can quote your project. Some suppliers may have questions so they can quote you correctly. Additionally, most suppliers usually like to follow up to see how they got on and all we ask is that you provide them with feedback, whether they have won the project or not. With this in mind what is the best method to reach you on (you can choose both)?
