AUNOV’s Engineering Guides are a curated cluster of deep-drawing and metal-forming references—covering process fundamentals, defect troubleshooting, interactive calculators, real-world application examples, part design, and material-selection decisions. Use the sections below to jump straight to the guide you need. Direct answer: The AUNOV Engineering Guides cluster contains 19 practitioner guides organized into six tracks—Process & Fundamentals,…
Deep Drawn Part Application Examples Representative deep-drawn components we produce across automotive, battery, medical, defense and electronics — with the real forming envelopes we hold in production. Direct answer: AUNOV routinely deep-draws cylindrical and rectangular shells from 0.15 mm to 3.0 mm wall, up to 150 mm draw depth, at ±0.05 mm (ironing ±0.02 mm), on 5–500 T presses, with measured…

Deep drawing turns flat sheet metal into seamless cup, shell, tube, and box-shaped components in a single press stroke — or a short sequence of draws. It is one of the most material-efficient ways to make stainless steel and aluminum enclosures, sensor housings, and structural shells. But the process lives on a knife-edge between controlled…
Deep drawing defects are the forming failures — wrinkling, cracking and earing — that appear when material flow, tool geometry or press settings fall out of balance. They show up most on parts with wall thicknesses from 0.15 to 3.0 mm, where the gap between a clean draw and a reject can be a fraction…
Same print, three very different prices? A die engineer explains what actually drives stainless steel deep drawing quotes.
Stamping cuts and bends sheet, deep drawing flows it into a seamless shell, die casting freezes molten alloy in a cavity. This guide compares tolerances, tooling cost and the annual volume where each one breaks even.
Why Material Choice Drives the Whole Process Material selection for deep drawing is the decision of which alloy to form, because the metal sets the draw ratio, the number of redraws and the scrap rate. In deep drawing, the metal is not a passive input — it decides the draw ratio, the number of redraws,…
Why Small Parts Deserve a Different Design Lens Small deep drawn parts are components under roughly 20 mm in diameter formed by the same drawing physics as large shells, but with far tighter tolerances. Deep drawing small parts — say under 20 mm in diameter — follows the same physics as large shells, but the…
Why Deep Drawn Parts Cost Less to Make Deep drawing is a metal forming process that shapes a flat blank into a seamless part in one press line. Because one blank becomes one part, material use stays high and minimum order quantities are typically around 1,000 pieces, so the unit-cost advantage grows with volume. When…
