Sheet metal bending is an essential process in the manufacturing and fabrication industries, used to shape sheets of metal into precise shapes and designs. At Schantz Machine & Fabrication, we specialize in high-quality sheet metal bending services, offering custom machining solutions to meet a wide range of manufacturing needs. Our state-of-the-art equipment and skilled machinists ensure accuracy, efficiency, and consistency across every project we complete at our St. Louis, MO, facility.
Sheet metal bending is a manufacturing process in which a flat piece of sheet metal is deformed along a straight axis to create an angular shape. These shapes can be a “U” shape, “V” shape, a channel, and other shapes. The sheet metal bending process is typically completed using machines such as press brakes and rolling machines, which can apply force to bend the metal without altering its volume. Throughout the process, precision and expertise are required to ensure that the metal maintains its structural integrity.
Sheet metal bending services begin with the selection of the right materials. Sheet metal options include stainless steel, aluminum, or other metals, with the right choice dependent on the specifics of each individual sheet metal bending project. Once materials are selected and acquired, the sheet metal is fed through a press brake machine, where pressure is applied in order to bend the metal to its desired angle and shape.
The Schantz Machine & Fabrication team prides itself on top-tier machining services, including CNC machining and sheet metal bending services, with unmatched precision. Our extensive hands-on experience coupled with our state-of-the-art equipment allows us to take on even the most challenging of sheet metal bending projects.
