bend allowance

What is Bend Allowance? A Guide to Sheet Metal Fabrication

Bend compensation refers to the adjustments made during the bending process of sheet metal to account for the material’s stretching and compression. It involves the understanding that, during bending, the length on the outside of the bend line increases relatively while the length on the inside decreases. Bend compensation is essential to ensure the metal sheet achieves the desired dimensions and shape after bending.

On-Demand Manufacturing

On-Demand Manufacturing: Redefining Speed and Customization in Production

On-demand manufacturing is a process in which products are made only when ordered. Instead of producing large quantities ahead of time, items are created as needed.

This method is more flexible and cost-effective, allowing businesses to focus on smaller production runs. Companies can create products that meet specific customer needs without wasting time or resources on unsold inventory.

Tolerance Stacking

Tolerance Stacking Demystified: Strategies for Flawless Assembly

Tolerance stacking is the accumulation of dimensional deviations in mechanical assemblies due to manufacturing and assembly process uncertainties. This can hurt the performance and function of the assembly. Managing tolerance stacking during the design and production processes is essential to ensure the final product’s quality and performance.

Sheet Metal Shearing

Sheet Metal Shearing: Techniques, Tools, and Tips

Sheet metal shearing involves cutting flat metal sheets into smaller pieces using two blades. The upper blade applies force to the material, pressing it against the lower blade to create a clean, straight cut. This process doesn’t involve heat, making it ideal for maintaining material integrity.
