Auto Parts Stamping

Auto parts stamping is a manufacturing method that uses stamping dies and presses to form metal materials.It is an essential process in modern automotive manufacturing and is widely used in a variety of areas, including body structures, powertrains, battery modules, chassis components, and interior and exterior metal parts.

Alec team understands engineers' demanding requirements for rapid sample delivery, precise tolerance control, and multi-material compatibility, as well as procurement personnel's focus on supply chain stability and cost control. Therefore, we are committed to providing one-stop stamping solutions, from rapid prototyping to small-batch trial production, to help customers accelerate product launch amidst fierce market competition.

application

 

Automotive stamping components are widely used in key systems, including body construction, new energy battery modules, powertrain components, and electrical connector support. Leveraging Alec's fast die making and low-volume response mechanism, we offer full process support from design validation to pilot production to meet the requirements for development and performance testing of all types of vehicles.

 

Body structural components: ribs, metal supports, seat frames, and so on, increase the stiffness and stability of the vehicle and support the modular design of the body.

 

Battery modules (New Energy Vehicles): Battery tray, battery cover, heat sink, and so on. They are the core parts of a new energy platform.

 

Powertrain components: Engine mount, heat shield, exhaust system metal support, and so on, to withstand high temperature and high vibration conditions to improve system stability.

 

Inner Metal Hardware: Door Bracket, Dashboard Bracket, Seat Mounting Hardware, and so on. Make sure the Function Parts and Plastic Interior Decoration.

 

Electrical metal connectors: grounding lugs, sensor brackets, cable clamps, etc., are widely used in the vehicle's electrical system to ensure conductivity and secure fastening.

 

Case Study:

We previously provided a custom battery cover stamping for a European new energy startup. Using rapid tooling technology, we completed the mold within three days and delivered the first batch of 20 samples within five days, maintaining a tolerance of ±0.05mm for structural verification during the B-prototype phase.

Production Process

 

Alec has a comprehensive stamping part development process, covering everything from customer drawing analysis to mold fabrication, stamping, post-processing, and packaging and shipping. This ensures that every part undergoes rigorous quality control and inspection before delivery.

 

1. Drawing Analysis

Our professional engineering team carries out the technical feasibility analysis on the 2D/3D drawings of the client, confirming the material, process, tolerance, and surface finish.

2. Mold Design and Manufacturing

Depending on the project stage, we choose to use rapid tooling, simple tooling, or mass production tooling. Our experienced tooling team can deliver rapid tooling in as little as three days for prototype verification or small-batch trial production.

3. Stamping

Using high-precision presses, we perform forming operations on sheet metal, including punching, drawing, flanging, and forming.

 

4. Initial Inspection and Deburring

All stamping parts are deburred and polished to ensure a smooth, non-irritating edge. The first article is then examined to make sure the dimensions, tolerances, and appearance are in accordance with the drawing requirements.

 

5. Surface Finishing

Surface finishing can be applied upon request to enhance appearance, corrosion resistance, and functional stability.

 

6. Quality Inspection and Packaging

All the products are inspected on the spot or on the spot prior to shipment. For example, a Size Inspection Report and Material Certificate should be provided in accordance with Part Shape and Delivery Method. Only Foam, Pearl, Custom Cardboard or Wood.

 

7. Delivery

We support DHL, UPS, Federal Express Air, and Sea Cargo to deliver the goods flexibly and efficiently in order to meet the rapid needs of both prototypes and small batches.
