Knowledge about the design of parts for metal stamping was obtained through extensive discussions with expert metal stampers. This information was organized in a form of a relative cost model which provides a systematic approach to the analysis of the manufacturing complexity of metal stampings. The resultant Design for Stamping model permits designers to evaluate part designs in the early concept stage of the design process, and to quantitatively assess the effect of changing part attributes on relative cost. A coding and classification system and a database of cost-related information are key features of the Design for Stamping model. The relative cost model enables one to compare design options in terms of total relative cost, and to determine the relative cost savings associated with design changes.
