Guides
We will show you how you can stamp the products you made in a fast efficient way. The main benefit is that it doesn’t require heating so you have no heatup/cooldown times. This is good for bigger productions and just saves energy :)

Get a product

First you need to have a product. We work with sheets and cut them with CNC to make products. We only tried this technique with PP and HDPE. So let’s met show you how we stamp them.

Make your stamp

Make a design for your stamp and mill it in metal. We made ours from brass, but I guess other metals would work as well. Tip: make sure to mirror your design

Press

For pressing we like to use arbor press. It works fast and are easy to use/find. Put the product underneath apply some fore and take it out. You can get really fast here

Use mould for alignment

We like it when things are consistent. So we use a little mould to put in our product to make sure we always stamp in the same place. This actually also makes sure the product doesn’t move when applying force. Not a must, but would highly recommend
