02.4Machining & Fabrication
Bending and forming planned from the design stage.
Cut sheets take shape through a bend sequence defined by engineering — integrated with laser cutting, welding and assembly so the final assembly arrives with the right geometry.
01Overview
Geometry starts on the drawing
In sheet metal parts, bending defines the final geometry. That is why we analyze the design with DFMAA: radii, bend sequence, reliefs and the flat pattern are defined before cutting.
Integrated with laser cutting, welding and assembly, forming lets us deliver complete components and subassemblies, with fewer supplier interfaces and less rework.
02What we deliver
Engineering applied to sheet metal
- A
Flat patterns
Flat part development from the 3D model, so cutting already accounts for bending.
- B
Bend sequence
Bend order planned to avoid interference and secure final dimensions.
- C
Ready for welding and assembly
Formed parts designed to fit the next steps of the workflow.
03Bending & Forming
Where we add value
- 02.4.1
Brackets and structural parts
Sheet components that need stiffness, accurate hole patterns and correct fit.
- 02.4.2
Welded subassemblies
Bent parts prepared for welding and assembly.
- 02.4.3
Sheet metal prototypes
Fast validation of sheet metal parts before production.
04Bending & Forming
Benefits
-
Less rework
Bending planned in the design, not discovered at the machine.
-
Consistent geometry
Sequencing and checks that hold dimensions across lots.
-
Integrated supplier
Cutting, bending, welding and assembly under the same engineering.
-
Speed
Fewer interfaces, less time between steps.
05Methods applied
Quality engineering applied at every step — from design to delivery.
- DFMAA Design for Manufacturing, Assembly and Automation
Integrates product engineering and production processes to simplify manufacturing and assembly, cutting costs and lead time while raising industrial efficiency.
- DOE Design of Experiments
Statistical planning and analysis of experiments to identify critical process and product factors and optimize variables at lower cost and time.
- 8D Eight Disciplines method
Structured handling of deviations: identifies the root cause, corrects, prevents and documents it so the problem does not happen again.
