Folding with Finesse
Metal folding, also known as metal bending, is a fabrication process where metal sheets are bent to create desired shapes and angles. This process is essential in manufacturing components with specific geometries for various applications. Our state-of-the-art machinery and skilled operators ensure precise bends and high-quality finishes for all your metal folding needs.
Accuracy
Achieve consistent and accurate bends, even for complex geometries.
Efficiency
High-speed production with minimal waste.
Versatility
Suitable for a wide range of metals, including steel, aluminium, and copper.
Cost-Effective
Reduces the need for additional welding and joining processes.

Frequently Asked Questions
We can fold a variety of metals, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and brass. Each metal has unique properties that we accommodate with specific tooling and techniques.
We can handle metal sheets ranging from 0.5 mm to 20 mm in thickness, depending on the material and the required bend radius. Please contact us for specific capabilities regarding your project.
The process involves placing a metal sheet on a press brake machine, where a punch and die are used to apply force and create the desired bend. The angle and shape of the bend are controlled by the machine's settings, ensuring precise results.
Tolerances depend on the material and the specific requirements of the project. Generally, we achieve tolerances within +/- 0.5 mm. We work closely with our clients to ensure all specifications are met.
Turnaround times vary based on the complexity and size of the project. Simple jobs can be completed within a few days, while more intricate projects may take longer. We strive to meet all deadlines and provide regular updates.
