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.
