Sheet Metal Bending Process

Sheet metal bending, also referred to as sheet metal forming, is the process of applying force to a piece of sheet metal in order to change its shape. The bending process takes place using an electric, pneumatic or hydraulic press. The two most common shapes are U and V, although the metal can also be formed into corrugations, curls, flanges or other shapes.
