  This video displays how metal cookie cutters are made by America's largest cookie cutters manufacturing company, Ann Clark cookie cutter.

Mechanism:

• First, a design engineer maps out the shape in a computer.
• Then they make a metal block/mold of the specified shape.
• A machine is used to cut tin sheet into specified length, put a hem on it and roll it into circle.
• The circles are then welded into rings.
• The rings are then loaded to a machine with metal levers and the sample metal block by hand.
• Finally, the metal levers perfectly shape the tin rings into the shape of the metal block creating a cookie cutter.

Advantages:

• Durable
• Easy to use
• Maintain their shape
• Affordable

Drawbacks:

• Chances of corrosion
• Bulky machines
• Loading needs to be done by human
