SHEET METAL FORMING

 


Additional processing is also available as a service. Mechanical sheet metal forming, punching, and shearing add flexibility to better suit your design needs – especially when working in 3D. We are equipped with a variety of machines which can perform several operations including, but not limited to, bending, punching, shearing, grinding, and polishing.

Punching

Our sheet metal punching press is useful when cutting simple and repetitive geometries (i.e., square matrices). We run a Trumpf Minimatic machine when it is appropriate to fit the design. It is best for large batch jobs.
