Bending and Forming Processes
Metal Bending
Bending metal allows us to transform sheet metal into V, U or channel shapes, allowing us the ability to manufactured parts for a variety of industries. We are able to process material less than 6 inches wide and up to 10 ft. long.
Metal Forming
Forming is completely reshaping the metal without shaving, cutting, or removing material. Forming changes the physical shape of the material without changing the mass. Our metal forming provides a uniform look and consistent shape with a variety of materials.
Press Brake Process
Our state-of-the-art press brakes bend metal with a high degree of accuracy. We have the ability to control the position and angle of the back-top, to make perfect bends every time.
Punching Process
Punching is used to make a hole or an impression in the material. Our punch machine can handle simple shapes or more complex projects, and handles multiple stamps in one stage. This punch process is slightly less flexible than using a laser cutter, but it is faster for repetitive shapes.
Materials
We have the ability to bend/form a variety of different material types and thicknesses:
- Mild Steel
- Stainless Steel
- Aluminum
- Galvanized
- Galvanneal
