Why Fourslide Metal Stamping is a Game-Changer for Precision Components

When it comes to manufacturing precision metal parts—especially those used in industries like medical devices, optics, electrical components and industrial —engineers and product designers are often searching for ways to balance performance, quality, and cost-efficiency. That’s where fourslide metal stamping stands out.

At Advanced Metal Technology, Inc., we specialize in custom fourslide and multi-slide metal stampings, helping our clients bring even the most complex designs to life. From prototyping to mass production, our team works closely with customers to refine designs, reduce costs, and maximize quality.

What Is Fourslide Stamping?

Fourslide stamping is a highly versatile manufacturing process that allows for the forming of intricate parts from flat strip metal—often in a single, continuous operation. Unlike traditional punch press methods, a fourslide machine uses four sliding tools that work simultaneously to form complex shapes with tight tolerances.

Advantages of Fourslide Metal Stamping

1. Complex Shapes, Simplified Production

Fourslide is ideal for parts that require multiple bends or intricate geometries—such as custom spring clips, contacts, or brackets. Our machines are capable of forming, bending, and cutting in a single setup, which removes the necessity for multiple operations and lowers tooling expenses.

2. Lower Tooling Costs

Fourslide tooling is generally more economical and quicker to develop than progressive dies, making it an excellent option for prototyping and low-to-medium volume production. It is also a competitive choice for high-volume production.

3. Design Flexibility

Need to make changes mid-project? Fourslide tooling can often be modified quickly, giving engineers the flexibility to iterate on designs without incurring significant delays or costs.

4. Consistency at Scale

Once your design is dialed in, fourslide offers exceptional repeatability and precision, producing consistent parts even in high-volume runs.

5. Material Efficiency

Because the process works with coil or strip stock, fourslide stamping typically generates less waste than other forming methods—especially valuable when working with high-cost materials like beryllium copper or stainless steel.
