A device for hot stamping, comprising:
- a lower mold having a shape corresponding to a bottom of a product material;
- an upper mold having a shape corresponding to a top of the product material and pressing the product material with the lower mold;
- a blank holder disposed inside the upper mold and fixing a blank between the upper mold and the lower mold;
- a cam having a shape corresponding to a flange of the product material and forming the flange of the product material by moving up or down along an inner side of the blank holder;
- a first cam actuator coupled to the upper mold and having a first inclined portion at one end;
- and
- a second cam actuator having a second inclined portion selectively coming in contact with the first inclined portion at one end and having a third inclined portion at another end,
- wherein a fourth inclined portion is formed at one end of the cam and comes in contact with the third inclined portion,
- as the upper mold moves down, the first inclined portion of the first cam actuator and the second inclined portion of the second cam actuator contact with each other, and the second cam actuator moves, and
- the third inclined portion of the second cam actuator pushes the fourth inclined portion, and the cam moves upward.
