4-Slide Machines Services

Fotofab products are made in the USA and distributed worldwide.

4-slide formed copper miniature componentsFotofab's state-of-the-art facility is equipped to help you with any size production. We can complete your project from start to finish, in-house, with the various services that we have to offer, including 4-slide stamping, or multi-slide stamping.

4-Slide Stamping

Four-Slide stamping is a metalworking machine tool that features a horizontal press with four moving tools that strike the metal part from different directions. It is suitable for smaller parts (0.002-0.32″ thickness, and typically narrower than 2″) with a less complex feature geometry. The four axes make it versatile and less expensive to tool than a progressive die.

Common Product Development with 4-Slide Stamping

Four-slide stamping is commonly used for contacts, springs, and small connectors made in a wide variety of metals. Our high-quality standards and craftsmanship remain the same from short-run prototype projects to mass production runs.

Most commonly used materials used for 4-slide stamping include:

  • Low-carbon cold rolled Steel
  • Spheroidized cold rolled Spring Steel
  • Type 300 and 400 Stainless Spring Steels
  • Copper Alloys
  • Beryllium Copper Alloys

Budget Benefits of 4-Slide Stamping

Four-slide stamping saves you both time and money by forming your product with one machine. Forming your product with one machine will save you both time and money. The features of a 4-slide stamping machine combine a unique forming operation that reduces cost, speeds production, and delivers a better end product, even those with complex designs.
