When fabricating a prototype for you, we will create a flat pattern based on your specs and incorporating either the bend allowance or the K-factor settings. We will then use this information to create the final design.
Sheet metal can be formed from a number of different metals, including steel, aluminum, titanium, brass, and copper. Precious metals (such as silver, gold, or platinum) may be formed into sheets for decorative purposes.
Did you know that anodized aluminum can be dyed to match a variety of colors? Anodized aluminum can also be finished with a look that closely resembles copper and brass through electroplating techniques.
Brakes are metalworking machines used for the bending of sheet metal. Types of bending brakes include cornice brakes, used for simple bends and creases, and box-and-pan brakes, which facilitate the formation of 3 dimensional shapes.
When it comes to sheet metal cutting, our high speed lasers offer several advantages: including superb cutting quality with sharp corners over full thickness range and flexible design options.
A brake is a metalworking machine used to bend sheet metal. Some brakes (such as the cornice brake) are used to make simple bends and creases, while others (such as the box-and-pan brake) are used to form more complex shapes.
