Sheet Metal Forming: A Complete Guide
Sheet metal forming is a way to shape metal without removing material. It uses machines to apply force to a metal sheet. This force causes the metal to bend, stretch, or form into the desired shape.
The metal stays in one piece. It doesn’t chip or break. Instead, it flows and stretches under pressure. Common forming methods include bending, stamping, deep drawing, and roll forming. Each method suits different part sizes, shapes, and production needs.
