Metal Stamping in Halifax: FAQ

When does metal stamping make sense vs. laser cutting and bending?
Metal stamping becomes cost-effective at volumes above 5,000-10,000 parts, where the upfront tooling cost is amortized across the run. Below that, laser cutting and CNC bending are cheaper because they require no tooling. For millions of parts, stamping is dramatically cheaper per unit.
How much does stamping tooling cost in Canada?
Simple single-station dies start at $5,000-$15,000. Progressive dies for complex parts range from $25,000-$150,000+. Tooling is a one-time investment - once built, it produces parts at cents per piece. Canadian toolmakers are competitive with offshore options and offer faster revisions.
What volumes are typical for metal stamping production runs?
Canadian stamping shops typically run from 10,000 to several million parts per order. Progressive die presses run at 100-600 strokes per minute, making high volumes fast and economical. Some shops also support short runs of 1,000-5,000 for specialty or defense applications.
Can stamped parts meet automotive quality requirements?
Yes. Many Canadian stamping shops hold IATF 16949 certification - the automotive quality standard. They provide PPAP documentation, capability studies (Cpk), and statistical process control. Canada's stamping industry has deep roots in the Ontario automotive corridor.
