What is metal bending, and how does the process work?

The metal bending process changes the form of plates and sheets of metal by applying force. Utilizing specialized machinery like hydraulic presses and rollers, this technique deforms the metal until it achieves the desired shape or angles.

Does the metal bending process have any particular limitations?

Depending on the thickness of your material, the part’s complexity, and its required tolerances, your component may be difficult to complete through metal bending alone. You can check with our experts and the G.E. Mathis team can discuss any required secondary processing and finishing with you.

What factors should I consider as I design components that will undergo metal bending?

First, you’ll need to ensure that your chosen material as well as its thickness are compatible with the metal bending process. The design itself must also be conducive to metal bending, meaning that your part should fall within the capabilities of the bending process and its machinery to achieve. You’ll also need to consider the required bend angle and radius of your part and look for ways to minimize springback and distortion.

What should I look for to ensure I select the appropriate service provider for my metal bending project?

After you’ve verified that the potential provider offers the capabilities necessary to complete your specific project, and that their services meet your timeline and budget, you should also take the following into consideration: years of experience, equipment they use, quality assurance practices, company reputation, and customer reviews. When in doubt, reach out to discuss your project details.
