What is Deep Draw Stamping?
Deep draw stamping is a specialized metal forming process used to transform flat sheet metal — typically a single blank — into a three-dimensional shape using a punch, blank holder, and forming die. In this process, the metal is forced into a die under controlled conditions, applying sufficient force to shape the material precisely.
The deep drawn process is a manufacturing technique used to create complex parts with significant depth, allowing manufacturers to create intricate, high-strength components. After the punch, blank holder, and forming die are engaged, the die radius becomes critical in shaping the metal and avoiding defects such as tearing or thinning. Unlike standard stamping, which forms shallow shapes, deep drawing enables the creation of parts with a depth greater than their diameter, producing strong, lightweight components with minimal seams.
At DureX, our engineers use this process to craft deep drawn parts with consistent wall thickness, optimal material flow, and exceptional strength — making it ideal for producing everything from automotive housings to medical enclosures. Compared to other manufacturing processes, the deep drawing process offers unique advantages in flexibility and precision, making it a preferred choice for complex designs and high-quality manufacturing processes.
Deep draw metal stamping produces seamless, high-quality parts from a single sheet of raw material, ensuring that each component is created with maximum strength and watertight integrity. The high speed of the metal stamping process is a significant benefit, enabling rapid production of large volumes without sacrificing quality. Our process can form complex shapes and maintain tolerances, ensuring that all parts produced meet strict dimensional and quality standards.
The drawing process results in formed parts with consistent shell wall thickness and open end features, which are essential for many enclosure and housing applications. We manufacture appliance parts and other manufacturing components for a wide range of industry sectors, demonstrating the versatility of deep draw stamping.
DureX’s deep drawn stamping services are tailored to the needs of our customers, with close collaboration throughout the design and production stages. During the deep drawn stamping process, the length and portion of the shaped part are determined to achieve the desired geometry and functionality. Rolled edge finishing can be applied for enhanced safety and improved aesthetics, further increasing the value of the final product.
Benefits of Deep Drawn Parts
Deep drawn stamping offers advantages that go beyond typical metal forming processes. One key benefit of deep draw stamping is its ability to deliver improved efficiency, durability, and precision compared to other manufacturing methods:
Seamless Construction – Fewer welds, stronger shells
High Volume Production – Efficient for long runs with consistent output
Minimal Weight, Maximum Strength – Ideal for demanding applications
Precision & Tight Tolerances – Maintain quality across every part
Material & Cost Efficiency – Reduced scrap, faster cycle times
For OEMs in the Tri-State area and beyond, these benefits translate to lower costs, better performance, and streamlined manufacturing from prototype to production.

The Deep Draw Stamping Process at DureX
At DureX Inc., our deep draw stamping process is built around quality, efficiency, and engineering support at every stage. The deep drawn process is a multi-step manufacturing method used to form metal parts with significant depth, allowing for the creation of seamless, complex geometries.
The deep draw process enables us to form custom-shaped metal components with precise dimensions and features, while the drawing process is essential for producing parts that require tight tolerances and intricate details. Our deep drawn stamping process is designed to produce custom-shaped metal components that meet the highest standards. Whether you’re producing 500 parts or 50,000, our process ensures consistent results — with the speed and precision today’s industries demand.
Design & Engineering Collaboration
We start with a detailed review of your part design and functional requirements. Our in-house engineering team works closely with your designers to optimize geometry, material selection, and tooling strategy — often uncovering cost-saving opportunities before production begins.
Material Preparation & Blank Setup
High-quality sheet metal is selected based on your specifications and formability needs. The material is cut into precise blanks that serve as the foundation for each drawn part.
Drawing & Redrawing Operations
The blank is placed into a die set where a punch and blank holder draw the material into its new shape — forming the part through a series of progressive or staged draws. This step carefully controls:
Radial drawing stress
Material thickness and flow
Wall integrity and formability limits
For parts requiring extreme depths or tight tolerances, we perform multiple redraws or use hybrid tooling.
Trimming, Piercing & Finishing
Once the desired shape is achieved, excess material is trimmed and features such as holes or slots are punched. Edge finishing techniques, such as creating a rolled edge, can be used to enhance the strength and safety of the part. Optional surface treatments like deburring, powder coating, or anodizing can also be applied.
Inspection & Quality Control
Each part undergoes rigorous in-process inspection using precision measurement tools to ensure dimensional accuracy, wall thickness, and structural integrity.
From start to finish, every step of our deep draw stamping process is tightly controlled within our Union, NJ facility — minimizing delays and ensuring full accountability.
