Bending Importance of Sheet Metal Works

Although the sheet metal bending seems extremely simple, it hides a series of rules and technology that allows you to realize simple or extremely complex shapes. The sheet metal bending is one of the most common processes in manufacturing industry.

Similar to the forming process, the bending works create a change of direction in sheet metal. For example, transform a flat sheet metal into an angular sheet. In fact, through the use of a CNC press, a mold, bending machine or any other machines, the sheet metal can reach the shape of a corner. 

Sheet metal fabrications is a process that allows you to realize simple or extremely complex shapes and which can be applied on a wide range of metals: from iron to copper, from brass to aluminum, from stainless steel to other special alloys.

When you need to decide the kind of bending, you must take into account: the thickness of the metal, the type of curve, the angle of bend, and workpiece dimensions and other related important factors.

A general rule about this could be: the larger is the bending, the less acute degree between upper and lower mold. Concerning issues that we have just mentioned, you can choose different types of bending.

There are many factors that can affect the result of sheet metal bending. For example, the most important are: 
1.The metal properties
2.The stress caused from the previous process
3.The kind of the edges you want to realize
4.The length and the thickness of the work piece
5.The processing temperature
There are a lot of advantages of Sheet Metal Fabrication, including material selection (Aluminum, Copper, Stainless Steel and others), finishing selection (Bead Blasting, Anodizing, Plating, Powder Coating, etc.), thickness selection (Based on gauges), durability, scalability, quick turnaround, etc. For more details, please see below chart.
