Due to the rising demand for customized products, sheet metal bending is gaining its importance. Sheet metal has proven its versatility in being transformed into varied angles, shapes or twists for further processing.

Sheet metal bending is a forming process used to bend sheet metal by lowering a punch onto a flat sheet of metal that has been positioned on top of a die to form the desired shape. The metal may be bent several times by a press brake until the desired form has been achieved. As a result, this bending process is also known as press brake forming or flanging. The metal sheet’s length and thickness will still remain the same regardless of the change in its form or shape.

Compared to affixing two separate pieces together or welding, this high-precision sheet metal bending process can be much more cost-effective. Some popular materials that are more malleable and easier to bend using sheet metal bending processes are spring steel, alloy steel 4140, mild steel, copper, and aluminum 5052.

Modern CNC cutting and bending machines allow parts to be made from one component in many instances, whereas previously welding or joining was necessary. The range of thicknesses, materials, and complexity of the parts it can produce make it excellent for making parts for a variety of industries, including industrial equipment, transportation, automotives, furniture, domestic appliances, etc.
