Quality Control in Four-Slide Stamping for Medical and Automotive Components
Four-slide stamping is widely used to produce precise, high-volume components with complex geometries. In industries like medical and automotive, there’s zero room for error. A poorly formed or out-of-spec part can mean failed assemblies, regulatory issues, or safety risks. That’s why Formco Metal Products integrates rigorous quality control into every stage of our four-slide-stamping process. What Makes Four-Slide Stamping Quality Control Unique? Four-slide stamping simultaneously cuts, bends, and forms multiple axes. This complexity makes the process extremely efficient and introduces multiple points where dimensional drift, material fatigue, or tooling wear can lead to defects. Unlike progressive die stamping, which may […]
