Sheet metal bending is the process of using force to deform a flat sheet of metal into a requested shape or angle. This is commonly done to create components and parts for various applications, including manufacturing, construction, and automotive industries.
Methods of Sheet Metal Bending
- Press brake bending: This involves using a press brake machine to apply force to a sheet of metal, causing it to bend at a specific angle.
- Roll bending: In this method, the sheet metal is passed through a series of rollers, which gradually bend it into the desired shape.
- Hammering: This involves using a hammer or mallet to shape the metal by hand.
The specific method used for sheet metal bending depends on factors such as the type of metal being used, the desired shape, and the precision required for the final sheet metal components.
Different metal part have different manufacturing processing. Below pictures show the sequences of bending process for different shape metal parts.

Sheet metal pressing sequences are a critical aspect of metalworking that require careful consideration and planning. By following the proper steps and techniques, we can achieve high-quality results that meet the required specifications and standards by analyzing design, and select the appropriate materials, and optimize press settings to ensure the best possible outcome to create a wide range of products, from metal furniture and fixtures to automotive parts and components
