01 / Overview

Stamping is a processing method that uses a press and mold to apply external force to plates, strips, pipes, and profiles, causing them to undergo plastic deformation or separation, in order to obtain the desired shape and size of the workpiece.

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / The science behind it

Stamping is a forming and processing method that uses a press and mold to apply external force to sheets, strips, pipes, and profiles, causing them to undergo plastic deformation or separation, in order to obtain the desired shape and size of the workpiece (stamped part). Stamping processing is a production technology that utilizes the power of conventional or specialized stamping equipment to directly deform the sheet metal in the mold, thereby obtaining product parts with a certain shape, size, and performance. Sheet metal, molds, and equipment are the three essential elements of stamping processing. According to the stamping processing temperature, it is divided into hot stamping and cold stamping. The former is suitable for processing sheet metal with high deformation resistance and poor plasticity; The latter is carried out at room temperature and is a commonly used stamping method for thin plates. The mold used for stamping is called a stamping die, abbreviated as a punching die. A stamping die is a specialized tool used to process materials (metal or non-metal) in batches into the required stamping parts. Stamping dies are crucial in stamping, and without qualified dies, mass stamping production becomes difficult; There are no advanced punching dies available.

04 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
