What Is Sheet Metal Bending
Sheet metal bending is an artful craft of reshaping a metal sheet to meet specific requirements. It involves the strategic use of mechanical forces, applying them to the metal sheet against a die to conform it to a desired shape. Bends can be made two-dimensionally for straightforward applications or three-dimensionally for more complex designs, meeting an array of practical needs.
Shengen brings a comprehensive suite of custom sheet metal bending services tailored to your project. Whether you require the simplicity of standard press brake bending or the precision of CNC bending, Shengen offers an assortment of processes to cater to low and high-volume fabrication needs. We also provide laser-cutting services for detailed features like apertures, slots, etc. Materials for our bending services include a wide array of metals, including but not limited to steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and titanium.
Thanks to our intuitive Quoting, starting a project with Shengen is a breeze. Upload a supported 3D CAD file and a drawing outlining specific requirements, such as bending angles, sheet profile, etc. Utilize our user-friendly interface to specify sheet metal bending as your manufacturing process, determine volume needs, desired material, finishes, and more.

Material Options
Recognize that sheet metal and plate are distinct materials that demand particular tooling and machinery for effective bending. Sheet metal is typically thin and malleable, measured in gauges, while plate metal is thicker and measured in fractions of an inch or millimeters. The nature of these materials requires different die and tooling considerations for bending.
Shengen offers sheet metal bending for various metals, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and titanium.
Explore the options below, encapsulating the sheet metal materials that Shengen can bend. Each material has its unique properties and applications, providing you with extensive choice and versatility.
Whether you’re bending delicate thin sheets or resilient, thick plates, Shengen’s sheet metal bending service combines technical proficiency with a personalized touch. Here, innovation meets tradition, and every project becomes a journey of craftsmanship and commitment. Let’s make your vision tangible and one bend at a time.
Finishing Options for Sheet Metal Bending
Choose from a variety of finishing options for your sheet metal bending project, including powder coating, anodizing, and Electroplating.
| Name | Description | Materials | Color | Texture |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anodizing | Anodizing improves corrosion resistance, enhancing wear resistance and hardness, and protecting the metal surface. Widely used in mechanical parts, aircraft, and automobile parts, precision instruments, etc. | Aluminum | Clear, black, grey, red, blue, gold. | Smooth, matte finish. |
| Bead Blasting | Bead blasting results in parts with a smooth surface with a matte texture. Used mainly for visual applications and can be followed by other surface treatments. | ABS, Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel | n/a | Matte |
| Powder Coating | Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint which is delivered via an evaporating solvent, powder coating is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light. | Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Steel | Black, any RAL code or Pantone number | Gloss or semi-gloss |
| Electroplating | Electroplating can be functional, decorative or corrosion-related. Many industries use the process, including the automotive sector, in which chrome-plating of steel automobile parts is common. | Aluminum, steel, stainless steel | n/a | Smooth, glossy finish |
The Process Flow & Duration Estimation
Please note that the final cost depends on the customized service you require, the specifications of the raw materials used, the relevant national laws, and the distance of transportation. Take the example of booking a tall container of products:
Step 1: Drawing Design (within 1 day)
Designers use CAD to quickly as well as accurately modify designs to meet the desired specifications, ensuring that the final product meets the required specifications quickly and accurately.
Step 2: Product Proofing (1-2 days)
Product proofing is an essential part of the manufacturing process that can help businesses ensure the quality and consistency of their products while minimizing risks and costs associated with defects or errors in production.
Step 3: Bulk Manufacturing (1-3 days)
Once the specifications and quality of the product are confirmed to be in order, it is ready for mass production.
Step 4: Shipping (3-5 days)
Once the products arrive at their destination, you will receive an alert. You can plan how to collect your shipped goods.

Our Clients Say About Us
The FAQs About Sheet Metal Bending
What types of materials can be bent?
A variety of metals such as aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel, and carbon steel can all be bent successfully.
What are the most commonly employed sheet metal bending techniques?
Press brake bending, roll bending, and tube bending are the three primary techniques for metal bending.
What are the advantages of sheet metal bending?
Metal bending provides several benefits, such as enhanced functionality, increased strength and durability, as well as aesthetic appeal.
What are the costs associated with metal bending?
Metal bending costs vary based on factors like material type and complexity, quantity produced, and quantity estimated by a professional metal bender. For an accurate cost estimation, it is best to speak with one directly.
What is the maximum thickness of metal that can be bent?
Bending thickness depends on both your chosen bending technique and machine capacity. Press brake bending generally handles thicker sheets better than roll bending.
What safety precautions must I take when sheet metal bending?
To minimize accidents when metal bending, appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), machine guards, and following proper handling procedures should all be used as preventative measures.
Can sheet metal bending be completed manually or only with machines?
While manual metal bending may be possible with special hand tools, machines usually provide greater efficiency and accuracy in metal bending processes.
