Precision blanking (often called fine blanking) is used for parts that require tight tolerances and smooth edges, regardless of whether the parts are small or relatively large, such as gears, seat belt components, and structural brackets in automotive assemblies.
In blanking, the cut-out piece defined by the punch is retained for further manufacturing steps. Conversely, in piercing, the surrounding sheet metal is the desired product, and the internal cut-out piece, known as the slug, is considered waste material.
