Re: Metal Stamping

If I understand it correctly, stamping is preferable for high-volume part generation, due to the high initial cost of tooling and setting up dies... I don't see it being very practical for an FRC application. However, if they have CNC capability, that could be extremely beneficial.

For sheet metal, most teams use something more suited for rapid, low volume production, like water jet, laser cutter, or CNC routers.
