This process encompasses Bending and Forming of Sheet Metal - performed on a press brake or sheet metal/panel bending machine.

3D forms can be made through the creation of linear bends in sheet metal.

Typical applications are control cabinets with "returns" and edges with forms.

Close tolerance cabinets, boxes and brackets can be manufactured at all levels of production volume - with the application of automatic feed, robotic arm manipulation, or automatic transfer and rotation mechanisms high volume environments can be catered for.

For Bending of Sheet Metal more than 3mm thickness see "Plate Bending & Press Braking".
