sheet bending

Metal is something that when you think of it you think of hard and strong, like a metal chair or a car. These things are seemingly tough and not easy to change. But what you may not know is that metal can actually be deformed and shaped into a variety of forms. This is known as sheet metal bending dies. It enables us to produce all manner of objects we use in our daily lives.

Sheet bending is a unique process of applying force to bend sheets of metal (including metal sheets) into various shapes. Pretend that you have a piece of paper in your hands and you are bending it to create a paper airplane. So, metal can be shaped into all kinds of designs! Sheet metal bending is crucial in manufacturing products out of metal. It is employed at houses, products, etc., and even in the plane that flies in the sky.

Achieving Precision with Sheet Bending Techniques

A second method is termed roll bending. In place of stretching the metal, this approach utilizes rollers which gradually bend the metal sheet right into a contour or rounded shape. Roll bending is commonly used to create pipes or tubes. The bending of rolling tubes allows production of mass-produced bent parts, too, if you’ve ever seen a drinking straw, it is made out of this type of roll bending!

There is also something called rotary bending. This process shapes the metal sheet into a circular shape by using a special machine. Rotary bending is useful for producing a wide variety of such supporting elements (rings or cylindrical shells) commonly used in machine construction. We can use this method to create very specific shapes that are required for a lot of products.
