For engineers, designers, and businesses, the ability to create
unique, high-quality metal components is a superpower. This ability
depends on a seamless process, from sourcing custom sheet metal
materials to delivering precision, custom sheet metal parts. This
process typically involves two core disciplines: extensive metal
part fabrication and the detailed focus of sheet metal fabrication.

What is Press Brake Forming?
Press Brake Forming is a metalworking process that uses a press
brake machine to bend flat metal sheets into the desired final
shape. Force is applied between a punch (upper tool) and a die
(lower tool), enabling linear bending in a wide range of metal
materials and thicknesses. All press brake machines are equipped
with CNC controls to ensure precise part positioning and high
repeatability.
Key Features
Diverse Applications: Press Brake Forming is ideal for
manufacturing a variety of parts, including:
- U-bends
- Flanges
- Channels
- Internal Bends
Fast Delivery: Qualified formed parts can be delivered in as fast
as three days to meet fast production demands. Using press brake
forming technology, we efficiently and accurately produce metal
parts that meet our customers' needs.
Sheet Metal Forming Design Guidelines and Capabilities
Follow these guidelines for formed sheet metal parts to ensure
consistent quality and fast production times:
| Maximum Bend Length | 47 in. |
| Minimum Qualifying Part Size | 0.05 in x 0.05 in (12.7mm x 12.7mm) for formed parts |
| Maximum Pressing Force | 80 tons |
| Bend Angles | 1 degree ‘kick’ to 135 degrees |
| Bending Output | Linear bends—external and internal flanges |
| Maximum U-Channel Ratio | 2:1 (width:height) |
| Internal Radius Tooling Options | 0.01 in. to 1 in. (standard tooling increments) >1 in. radius bends will be bump formed |
| Offsets | Standard offset tooling sizes |
| Hems | Closed hems up to 47 in., open hems up to 36 in. |
| Forming Best Practices | - Relieve bends in CAD designs
- For best price and lead time, use manufacturer-recommended radius
tooling
- Ensure appropriate placement of nearby features (e.g., holes, hardware inserts, other bends)

Sheet Metal Materials and Thicknesses for Formed Parts
We offer the following metal materials for custom-formed sheet
metal parts.
Note that based on material thickness, maximum bending capabilities
will vary.

| - 5052: 0.025 in. – 0.250 in. (0.635mm – 6.35mm)
- 6061: 0.025 in. – 0.134 in. (0.635mm – 3.40mm)*
|
| Steel | - CRS/HRPO
- Galvanneal (pre-plated)
- Galvanized (pre-plated)
| - CRS/HRPO: 0.025 in. – 0.250 in. (0.635mm – 6.35mm)
- Pre-plated: 0.025 in. – 0.134 in. (0.635mm – 3.40mm)
|
| Stainless Steel | | - 304-2B: 0.025 in. – 0.250 in. (0.635mm – 6.35mm)
- 304-#4: 0.025 in – 0.119 in. (0.635mm – 3.023mm)
- 316-2B: 0.025 in. – 0.134 in. (0.635mm – 3.40mm)
|
| Copper | | - 0.025 in – 0.125 in. (0.635mm – 3.175mm)
|
| Brass | | - 0.025 in. – 0.125 in. (0.635mm – 3.175mm)
|
*Formed parts made out of Aluminum 6061-T6 require manual review
and are not configurable during the quoting process.
