Metarstar Prototype is specializing in providing high quality sheet metal deep draw stamping services and deep draw stamping prototype fabrication. Let's share with you some information about low volume deep draw stamping using DC06 low carbon sheet metal steel and rapid prototype stamping tools:

DC06 Low Carbon Sheet Metal Steel:

DC06 is a low carbon, low alloy steel that is commonly used for deep drawing applications. It has the following key characteristics:

Low carbon content (around 0.08%) which provides good ductility and formability

Minimal alloying elements which keeps the material cost relatively low

Typical tensile strength range of 270-330 MPa

Excellent deep drawing properties, allowing for the manufacture of complex, 3D shapes

The DC06 steel's combination of formability and strength makes it well-suited for low volume, deep drawn stamped parts such as automotive body panels, appliance housings, and other consumer goods.

Rapid Prototype Stamping Tools:

For low volume stamping runs, using rapid prototype tooling can be an effective approach compared to traditional hard tooling:

Rapid prototype tools are typically fabricated using 3D printing, CNC machining, or other additive/subtractive processes

They can be produced much faster and at lower cost than hard tooling, enabling quicker iterations

Rapid tools are often made from materials like epoxy, aluminum, or soft steels, rather than hardened tool steels

While not as durable as hard tooling, rapid prototype tools can withstand hundreds or thousands of stamping cycles for short production runs

This approach allows manufacturers to quickly test designs, make changes, and get products to market faster for low volume applications

The combination of DC06 steel's formability and rapid prototype tooling can be very effective for low volume, deep drawn metal stamping projects that require fast turnaround and design flexibility. The tradeoff is that rapid tools may have a shorter usable lifespan compared to traditional hard tooling.
