Convergent Micro Stamping™
A New Production Standard in Micromanufacturing
1
Every day, Top Tool works on breakthroughs in complex precision metal stamping for micro components.
2
Down to the µm level.
Tomorrow could be your day
for a breakthrough.
What is your most complex precision micro component?
3
But first, how do you identify a stamping supplier who can deliver micro complexity and precision?
The definition of “micro” depends on whom you ask.
What’s the correct answer? Opinions vary.
a. “anything up to a few millimeters” b. up to 8mm c. 1mm or less
4
How Big is a Micron?
5
It’s Not Just The Microns
1mm or smaller should be the opening bid for micro-component stamping.
But there’s more than how LOW you can go.
Can the supplier stamp and form special shapes, complex features
and micron-level tolerances?
6
The answer can be yes.But the solution requires a new, higher standard
in micromanufacturing.
There is a name for high-end metal stamping optimized to manufacture complex, precision and
highly engineered micro components.

An inventory of six critical-to-success factors at Top Tool that form a 360-degree view of
integrated systems, philosophies and proven experience crucial to high-end micro component tool
making and stamping.
The six factors – executed at a “best practices” level – converge on the best-possible approach
to stamp a complex precision micro component.
