Stampning

Stampning refers to the process of pressing or driving a die or stamp into a material to create an impression or shape. This technique is widely used in various industries for marking, manufacturing, and artistic purposes. In manufacturing, stampning is employed to create coins, medals, and other embossed objects by forcing a patterned die against a metal blank. The process typically involves significant force, often applied by a mechanical press or a hydraulic press, to permanently deform the material.

Beyond metalworking, stampning also finds application in paper crafting, where stamps are used to apply ink designs onto surfaces. This can range from decorative patterns to intricate illustrations. In a more general sense, stampning can also describe the act of repeatedly striking or pounding something, such as stamping one's foot in frustration. The core principle remains the forceful application of pressure to create a mark or alter the form of a substance. The specific tools and methods employed in stampning vary greatly depending on the material being worked with and the desired outcome.
