How Welding Fabrication Complements Metal Stamping
How Welding Fabrication Complements Metal Stamping Welding fabrication and metal stamping are two essential processes in the manufacturing industry. While metal stamping involves shaping and cutting metal sheets, welding fabrication involves joining metal pieces together. These two processes often go hand in hand, with welding fabrication complementing metal stamping in
Can You Really Save Costs with a Custom Metal Stamping?
Can You Really Save Costs with a Custom Metal Stamping? When it comes to metal manufacturing, there are a variety of methods to choose from. Custom metal stamping is one such method, often selected for its ease of setup and quick turnaround time. While standard metal stamping tooling can be
Principles of Design for Metal Stamping
Principles of Design for Metal Stamping Metal Stamping Manufacturing Explained If you’re not yet familiar with the manufacturing method known as metal stamping, you’ve come to the right place to learn! Dayton Rogers pioneered the practice of short run metal stampings back in 1929, and we have now been in
Add Value and Save Costs with Dayton Rogers’ Custom Metal Fabrication
Why Choose Custom Metal Fabrication? It’s no secret that Dayton Rogers is the grandfather of metal stamping. Although metal stamping is our process of choice as it is an incredibly versatile metal forming method, there is no one single process that can truly do it all. Dayton Rogers is dedicated
High Precision Made Simple with Modular Stamping
Challenges of Precision Sheet Metal Fabrication In industries like aerospace, automotive, and electrical, it is imperative for components to be produced to spec. Even in cases where tolerances are extremely tight, any slight deviation from the outlined parameters can be detrimental to the function of the overall completed product. While
3 Types of Short Run Metal Stampings
At Dayton Rogers, short run metal stampings are one of our key offerings. Short run metal stampings are just what they sound like: they are metal stamping projects with a low finished part volume. What quantity exactly qualifies as ‘short run’ depends on the metal stamper that you ask, but

Yes. Our CEO, Stephanie Lowry, recently joined the Destiny of Manufacturing podcast to discuss “The Road to 2030.” We provide insights on how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and preventative maintenance technologies are transforming the metal forming industry, helping you understand how to leverage these advancements for more reliable supply chains.
You can request a physical or digital copy of our industry-standard design guides by completing the online request form on our website or by emailing us directly at info@daytonrogers.com. These books provide essential formulas, tolerance charts, and “Do’s and Don’ts” for engineers designing stamped and fabricated metal parts.
We offer detailed technical articles explaining the trade-offs. Generally, Short-Run Stamping is best for prototypes and low volumes (minimizing tooling costs), while Progressive Die Stamping is ideal for high-volume production (lowering piece-part price). Our blog breaks down the break-even points and tooling implications for each.
Yes. Our resources include guides on rapid prototyping strategies, helping you move swiftly from concept to reality. We explain how to use laser cutting and soft tooling to validate designs quickly before investing in hard production tooling, ensuring your product is market-ready faster.
Our blog features technical deep-dives into Deep Draw Stamping , covering critical design considerations like draw ratios, corner radii, and material selection. These articles help engineers understand the unique capabilities and constraints of creating seamless, 3D metal shapes.
