Tomorrow could be your day
for a breakthrough.
What is your most complex precision micro component?

But first, how do you identify a stamping supplier who can deliver micro complexity and precision?
The definition of “micro” depends on whom you ask.
What’s the correct answer? Opinions vary.
a. “anything up to a few millimeters” b. up to 8mm c. 1mm or less

How Big is a Micron?

It’s Not Just The Microns
1mm or smaller should be the opening bid for micro-component stamping.
But there’s more than how LOW you can go.
Can the supplier stamp and form special shapes, complex features
and micron-level tolerances?

The answer can be yes.But the solution requires a new, higher standard
in micromanufacturing.
There is a name for high-end metal stamping optimized to manufacture complex, precision and
highly engineered micro components.
