stampings
Pressed metal pieces
Stampings are products made by stamping—pressing or cutting material, typically metal, with a die or mold.
Industrial stampings include automotive parts, appliance components, and hardware: The factory produces steel stampings for car doors.
The word can also refer to instances of stamping one's feet, though this use is less common.
