­­Short Run Metal Stamping Services

 

If you need stamped parts in a hurry, expensive long lead time tooling is a major stumbling block. At American Tool & Die (ATD) we have the solution. With deep expertise in short run tooling, we’re able to fulfill orders from a few dozen up to 5,000 parts and with quick turnaround.

Metal stamping is traditionally a large quantity, long run business. Press tooling is expensive, takes a long time to make, and almost as long to set up on the press. Sometimes you need a small quantity fast.

That’s where our short run metal stamping capabilities come in. Whether you’re looking for prototype quantities or seasonal items or to cover production while damaged tooling is out for repair, we can help. We’ve been in the stamping business since 1982 and with tooling and stamping capabilities all under one roof, we’re set up to satisfy your short run needs.

Short run stamping benefits businesses who need shorter lead times, want to reduce tooling and piece costs, or both. Costs are reduced through our short run tooling expertise, which also ensures high accuracy and repeatability.

For our customers, a quick turnaround means more flexibility to cope with shifts in demand. It also enables lower inventories, which saves on space.
