| Metal stamping fabrication is a process of producing a | | | | finishing process. In this process, the shaped metal |
| metal stamping component by modifying a raw piece | | | | sheet is given a finished and soft surface using |
| of material in a machine shop. These materials are | | | | sanding and vibration techniques. |

| Precision sheet metal stamping fabrication describes | | | | techniques in metal fabrication involve laser cutting, |
| various different processes that form sheet metal | | | | electro discharge machining, water jet cutting and |
| into finished products. Objects that are fabricated | | | | wire cut EDM. In some cases CNC machining is also |

| among the daily used objects like paper clips, | | | | There are various products that are created during |
| computers, bolts, nails, automotive parts and many | | | | precision sheet metal fabrication. The most common |

| There are various factors like rate of production, | | | | ventilation shafts, hoods, exhaust systems, tanks and |
