When a part is being designed for the deep draw process considerations must be given to the following:
- The overall size and shape of the part
- The function that the part will perform
- The strength requirements of the part
- The environment that the part will be in
In order to utilize the deep drawn stamping process to the above requirements a selection of the following must occur:
- What type of material?
- What are the tolerances required?
- How will the tooling be designed?
- Are there any secondary operations required?
- What type of finish will the part have?
The type of machine (press) that is being used will also have an effect on the part as eyelet machines begin with a strip of material that is fed into the first station, which is the blank station. The size of the blank that can be produced in that first station will impact the minimum and maximum size of the finished part that can be produced.
