About Sheet Metal Bending
Sheet metal bending is an operation that involves using forces to change the shape of a sheet. This is done to achieve the desired form or shape needed for a manufacturing process. The external force used alters only the external features of the sheet.
Advantages of Sheet Metal Bending.
It is an effective way of making products with different shapes used for different processes.
One of the essential procedures in the metal processing industry.
V-bending
Sheet metals have high bending ability, which makes them versatile for various shaping and forming processes. This common bending process is also the most diverse, including air bending, coining and bottom bending.
Rotary bending
A process used to make high-precision bends that do not leave marks on the sheet metal. This very gradual application of force is very gentle on the sheet metal material, making it a suitable technique for products that have already been pre-painted.
Roll bending
It is the best option for creating curved bends on sheet metal. This serves to pull more sheet metal into the contraption and deform the metal to follow the contour of the top roller.
Material options
Moxperts offer a wide variety of certified metal and plastic materials for rapid protopypes made of sheet metals.

Finishing Services
Typically used on stainless and carbon steel and is often used as a preliminary step before painting to remove impurities and improve adhesion.
Similar to sandblasting in function, but uses abrasive brushes to clean the metal surface. It can serve as a final finish on materials like aluminum and stainless steel and is commonly used as an appliance finish.
It yields a glossy surface and is used on metals like stainless steel, aluminum, and copper. It can serve as the final finish or as preparation for other finishing processes such as plating.
It electrostatically applies a dry powder—typically a thermoplastic or thermoset polymer—to the metal surface and then cures it with heat. This is more durable than conventional paint.
Plating can be done electrolytically or electroless for various purposes. It can inhibit corrosion, improve solderability, harden a surface, prevent wear, reduce friction, or aid paint adhesion. Plating processes for sheet metal include:
Passivation coating
Chromate coating
Anodizing coating
Zinc coating
Nickel coating
Tin coating
