Deep drawing is one of the most popular metal forming methods available to manufacturers–it involves the use of metal dies to form blank sheets of metal into a desired shape. Specifically, if the depth of the item created is equal to or greater than its radius, then the metal forming process can be called deep drawing.
The deep draw forming process begins with metal blanks. Typically, single blanks are used in order to facilitate the creation of parts or products with deeper shapes. Sometimes, these metal blanks will be placed on a reel to enable the metal to form efficiently. At each step in the deep drawing process, the metal blank is shaped through pressure applied by a metal die.
