A "tailored blank" refers to a pre-formed piece of material that has been shaped or cut to precise specifications for a specific manufacturing process, such as stamping or forming. The term is commonly used in industries like automotive and aerospace, where components need to meet specific design and functionality criteria. In the context of metalworking, a tailored blank may involve techniques like laser cutting, shearing, or other processes to achieve the desired geometry before further processing like bending or welding.
