The finishing process improves surface protection and reduces contamination.

Sheet metal is very easy to form, including the pressing in of intricate shapes with dies and a hydraulic press, but the dies themselves are slightly harder to come by. What if we could 3D print ...

The sheet metal clinching process joins the thin stainless-steel sheets quickly and reliably. In contrast to riveting or ...

In sheet-metal fabrication, parts are formed from metal sheets by punching, cutting, stamping, and bending. 3D CAD files are created using a host of different CAD packages and then converted into ...

A motor mount. A sturdy enclosure. A 43.7° bracket. The average hack requires at least one angled metal part, and the best tool to make one is still the good ol’ press brake. Bending parts requires a ...

Bending technology is often associated with various processes and machines employed in sheet metal fabrication. Such machines include both press brakes and panel benders, but press brakes are the most ...

Steel sheet piles have more than a century-long history of being used to support excavations for buried structures (Figure 1). During the construction process, the sheet piles traditionally provide ...
