Re-Engineering Castings to Stampings

It’s the process of taking a part currently made as a casting, and in some cases a molded or machined part, and redesigning it to be manufactured as a metal stamping instead. Boehm’s engineers evaluate the original part and re-engineer it to be produced on a stamping press while holding the same fit, form, and function.

Stamping uses sheet metal more efficiently than casting, which means less wasted material and a more sustainable process. It also runs on high-speed, automated presses, so cycle times are faster and turnaround is quicker, which helps you hit production deadlines that casting lead times often can’t match.

Yes. Boehm re-engineers castings, molded parts, and machined parts into stampings specifically designed to maintain close tolerances, typically at a reduced cost compared to the original process.

It’s broader than castings alone. Boehm also handles plastic-to-metal part conversions, along with reverse-engineering molded and machined parts into stamped equivalents.

Costly single-hit operations that once needed their own step can often be built directly into progressive or transfer tooling. That consolidates multiple operations into one continuous tooling process, which is part of where the cost and time savings come from.

Boehm’s in-house design and tooling team is built for exactly this. They work with your existing casting, molded, or machined part and re-engineer it into a stamping, rather than requiring you to hand over a stamping-ready design.

Three steps: a consultation call to walk through your part and requirements, a comprehensive plan Boehm builds around it, and then production, where their engineering team works to bring the converted part to market faster than the original casting process allowed.
