Rapid, accurate & custom sheet metal forming services
Sheet metal forming, as one of the sheet metal fabrication services, by using mechanical tools, with air or with liquids, magnetically or with explosives, makes a flat metal sheet into desired shapes. There are special forming processes such as superplastic forming, press hardening, and hot forming. Usually, to make one sheet metal rapid prototyping part, one or more above forming processes will be involved.
X Rapid Technologies offers versatile sheet metal forming services with a variety of materials for both rapid prototyping and low-volume production during a short time interval, like other sheet metal fabrication services.
Tolerances depend on the geometry of the parts. There is a tolerance of +/- 0.05 mm in general. Higher tolerances are available on request for all sheet metal fabrication services.
Surface treatments including painting, powder coating, silk screening, anodizing, bead blasting, electroplating, and brushing are all available for all sheet metal fabrication services.
· There is little material waste in sheet metal forming, so it is cost-effective.
· It is possible to create very complex shapes.
· The final parts are accurate and lightweight. The strength of the raw material may also improve during sheet metal forming processes.
Sheet metal forming is used in an array of industries like the automotive industry, the aircraft industry, the construction industry, the home appliance industry, the manufacturing industry, etc.
