Deep Drawing

Stamping (or deep drawing) is a process that allows a flat metal sheet to be transformed into a hollow object, with a more or less complex geometry, through one or more steps.

The complexity of the shape and the depth of the cavity directly affect the number of operations required: simple shapes and shallow cavities require fewer forming stages. The size and quality of the material used also play a fundamental role in the success of the process.

Piccoli S.R.L. has 9 hydraulic presses, with pressing capacities up to 500 tons, capable of handling processes with high performance and high precision.

Process Benefits:

High process repeatability

Shorter lead times for high volumes

Improved precision

Metals Used

To guarantee excellent results, we use only certified and carefully selected metals because quality starts with raw materials.

Al

Aluminum 99.5

Light, ductile, and highly malleable: it is the most versatile metal among those used in our processes. Easily paintable, it may present challenges in polishing, welding, and chroming processes.

Cu

Copper 99.5

Probably the oldest metal used by humans to make objects of all kinds: tools, jewelry, ornaments, and much more. Extremely versatile in finishes: it can be painted, welded, chromed, and oxidized to achieve highly valuable aesthetic and functional effects.

CuZn

Brass OT67

An alloy of copper and zinc, valued for its workability and aesthetic result. Often requires annealing treatments to prevent cracks and breaks during processing. It can be polished, welded, chromed, and oxidized, achieving surface finishes with great visual impact.

Steels

DC06 (formerly P06) with premium finish

Tough and versatile metal, used since ancient times for making tools and artifacts of all kinds. Modern alloys extend its potential, allowing processes once unthinkable. Suitable for numerous finishes: it can be welded, polished, oxidized, chromed, or painted.

Stainless Steels

AISI 304, AISI 316, and AISI 430

Chromium and carbon-based iron alloy, often enriched with other elements. The natural oxidation of chromium forms a protective layer that allows mirror finishes. Weldable, polishable, printable, and turnable – with some limitations – available in numerous qualities, including AISI 304, AISI 316, and AISI 430.

Perforated Sheet Metal

Stainless steel

The micro-perforated sheet is a metal plate (usually made of iron or stainless steel) characterized by a dense series of small holes regularly distributed across its surface. The holes are created through industrial processes such as punching or mechanical drilling.
