Bending — sometimes called flanging or press braking — is one of the most important and widely used techniques in high-precision sheet metal fabrication. Sheet metal bending allows manufacturers to turn a straight piece of sheet metal into an angled component, and this can be much more cost-effective than welding or affixing two separate pieces together. […]

Sheet metal welding is one of the most effective ways to create strong, permanent joints in thin metal components. Sheet metal can be manipulated in many ways: bending, curling, punching, stamping, and beyond. But sometimes manufacturers don’t need to cut or deform their sheet metal—they just need to fix two sheets together. One way to join

When engineers and manufacturers work with metals, they demand strength and durability. Metal parts are expected to last, and their stress resistance is what makes them useful in applications far and wide. Sometimes, however, manufacturers need their metals to be soft and ductile. Because when metals are very hard, they are harder to bend, form,
