Bending
Sheet metal forming is a crucial part of making parts for many different industries and applications.
It directly affects how a part looks, how it functions, and its strength and durability. The forming process also impacts the metal’s structural integrity, which determines how well the part will perform in various environments.
If sheet metal forming is done poorly, it can cause problems such as wrinkles, cracks, or warping, which damage the quality and usefulness of the final product. That’s why skilled professionals and advanced equipment are essential to ensure the forming process is done right.
At Fuse Metal, we bring extensive experience and top-quality equipment to every sheet metal forming project.
Our capabilities include punching, stamping, bending, and shaping metals—from delicate thin sheets to thicker, more complex plates. We can handle simple single bends as well as complex multi-bend components. Using tool-assisted and CNC machinery, we deliver precise and accurate bends that meet the highest standards of quality and precision.
Our metal forming process reshapes metal while it remains solid, relying on the metal’s natural ability to be bent or formed without losing strength.
We continually invest in state-of-the-art equipment, including machines with Automatic Tool Changers (ATCs) that save time and money by reducing tool change delays. In addition, we operate many manual press brakes staffed by skilled operators who produce complex parts with tight tolerances.
Before any forming work begins, our Engineering team uses bend simulation technology to verify the process and ensure consistency.
We continually invest in state-of-the-art equipment, including machines with For high-mix part jobs, we use Amada EG AR robotic bending systems that allow lights-out automation, meaning the machines can run unattended to maximize efficiency. These systems, combined with ATCs, reduce costly test bends and help keep prices competitive for our customers.
Fuse Metal serves a wide range of industries
Industries include telecommunications, retail store fixtures, computer and electronic data racks, industrial products, medical devices, and commercial applications. We are proud to be a top-ranked sheet metal solutions provider, combining skilled workers with industry-leading equipment like Bystronic press brakes and Salvagnini panel benders to transform flat 2D blanks into precise 3D forms.
