Deep Drawn Stamping
Custom deep drawn stamping for seamless, high-strength components in medium to high production volumes.
Seamless Parts, Formed to Depth
Deep drawn stamping is a forming process that transforms flat metal sheets or coil into hollow, often cylindrical parts through controlled pressure and shaping. Known for its strength and precision, this method enables the creation of seamless parts with depths greater than their diameter, ideal for both industrial and consumer applications.
Manor Tool’s in-house deep-drawn stamping capabilities support a wide range of part sizes and geometries. Our press room houses more than 30 high-tonnage machines capable of forming tight-tolerance parts in aluminum, steel, brass, copper, and more. We maintain ISO 9001:2015 certified quality across every stage of production.

Blank Placement
The metal blank is positioned onto the die.
Forming Process
A punch applies force to draw the material into the die, shaping the part.
Repeat Process
Steps are repeated for the required depth and dimensional accuracy.

Deep Drawing vs. Metal Stamping
Both processes form sheet metal, but they solve different problems. The right choice depends on part depth, geometry, tooling budget, and volume.
| Deep Drawn Stamping | Conventional Metal Stamping | |
|---|---|---|
| How it forms | A series of dies incrementally stretches sheet metal into a hollow shape. | A die strikes flat sheet metal to cut and form the part in fewer operations. |
| Best for | Seamless parts with depths greater than their diameter; complex, high-strength geometries. | Flatter geometries and parts that do not require significant draw depth. |
| Tooling | More expensive tooling, justified at higher volumes. | Lower tooling investment for comparable part complexity. |
| Speed and scrap | Slower per part, less scrap on drawn geometries. | Faster and easier at large scale, generates more scrap. |
| Volume fit | Medium to high production volumes. | Large-scale production of simpler parts. |
| Manor Tool capability | 30+ presses to 400 tons, thicknesses 0.005″ to 0.50″. | Progressive die stamping, 22–400 ton presses, tolerances to ±0.0005″. |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between deep drawing and metal stamping?
Deep drawing uses a series of dies to incrementally stretch sheet metal into a hollow shape, producing seamless parts with depths greater than their diameter. Conventional metal stamping forms flat sheet by striking it with a die. Deep drawing suits complex, high-strength, high-volume parts; stamping is faster and simpler for flatter geometries.
What part sizes and thicknesses can Manor Tool deep draw?
Our press room houses more than 30 presses rated up to 400 tons, with flexible die dimensions. Part thicknesses run from 0.005 in to 0.50 in, formed to precision specifications.
What materials can be deep drawn?
Aluminum, brass, copper, nickel, plastics, and steel alloys, including stainless.
Is deep drawn stamping suitable for low volumes?
Deep drawn stamping is best suited to medium and high production volumes, because the tooling investment is spread across the run.
Where is Manor Tool located?
Schiller Park, Illinois, in the Chicago metropolitan area. Manor Tool has been family owned and operated since 1959 and is an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer.
