The Precision Touch in Custom Metal Stamping

The foundation of any robust manufacturing process is meticulous engineering.  A properly engineered process results in improved capability, reliability and product quality throughout the life of a product. In some cases, innovative engineering results in a robust process for a product once thought to be impossible to manufacture.  In other cases, it means developing a solution with a customer that enhances both the product and process.  At Meier Tool & Engineering, we pride ourselves on innovative engineering by applying known technologies to new problems.

Customer Product Design Assistance
Our engineering staff is happy to assist customers in their design efforts. Our engineers can offer input on manufacturing considerations, material selection, selection of plating and other secondary operations, assembly automation features, and a variety of value-added processes such as in-die assembly or tapping.  Suggestions for the product design are made by conceptualizing the manufacturing process in great detail.  This ensures that the completed design is optimized for both performance and manufacturing.

Engineering the Manufacturing Process
We are experts at developing the proper sequence to create a finished part from a flat strip. This is the most critical step of the design process and is paramount to a robust manufacturing process. It is also the most engineering intensive and requires knowledge of many disciplines including material shearing, material forming, material springback, die design, die materials, die build, die maintenance, manufacturing set-up, manufacturing operation, product quality control, secondary process operation and process capability. Since Meier Tool & Engineering offers complete services in all of these areas, we are able to consider all factors to design excellence into our processes.
