Deep Draw is the process of forming a part from metal sheet stock, commonly referred to as a blank, around a punch as it is drawn through a die. The deep draw stamping process combines the advantages of metal spinning and stamping by allowing for a seamless part that is still cost effective for large quantity runs.

Free blanking is the distinguishing characteristic of this process. In free blanking, a punch forces a flat piece of sheet-metal into a die cavity. The formed part is then transferred to subsequent dies where the parts are forced through increasingly smaller die cavities of varying shapes until it reaches a designated shape and depth. The deep draw process can produce almost any shape part from a circular part to a rectangular part.
