El proceso de estampado en frío es uno de los nuevos procesos de mecanizado a presión de menor o ningún corte
metal. Es un método de transformación que utiliza la deformación plástica del metal bajo la acción de
fuerzas externas y, con ayuda de moldes, redistribuye y transfiere el volumen de metal para formar
las piezas o formatos necesarios. El proceso de estampación en frío es el más adecuado para producir piezas estándar.
elementos de fijación como pernos, tornillos, tuercas, remaches, pasadores, etc.
