Complex Curves, Angles, and Folds
With Sheet Metal Bending
By transforming flat sheet metal stock into bent shapes using specialized machinery, we can produce both simple and complex components with a smooth surface finish that often requires minimal additional processing.
introduction
Sheet Metal Bending Services
Efficiency. Versatility. Cost-effectiveness
Sheet metal bending efficiently forms precise, repeatable angled shapes from flat sheet metal using programmable brake presses with customized punch and die tooling.
With over 20 years of experience in CNC machining and bending services, DEK has established itself as a leader in transforming sheet metal designs into high-quality finished products. DEK uses cutting-edge CNC brakes and press brakes to bend sheet metals like steel, aluminum, copper, and more into a wide variety of angles and radii based on customer specifications. Our advanced machines allow for efficient long-run production and precision repeatability for even the most complex bends. The experienced engineering team at DEK uses best-in-class technology and software to go from concept to finished bent metal parts faster than the competition. No job is too big or too small for DEK’s fabrication capabilities, and our bend technicians ensure efficient programming, precision tooling setup, and strict quality control through every production step.
Our Highlights
Versatility
Sheet metal bending creates a wide variety of part shapes and geometries. Complex curves, angles, and folds can be formed from flat sheet metal stock.
Efficiency
Modern CNC sheet metal bending machines are very efficient at high volumes. Minimal setup time and automated tool changing allow long production runs with consistency and speed.
Cost Effectiveness
Sheet metal bending can be done rapidly and at lower costs, especially for high volumes. The raw material (sheet stock) is also inexpensive.

TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
More About Sheet Metal Bending
What is Sheet Metal Bending?
Sheet metal bending is a manufacturing process that transforms flat sheets of metal material into various shapes by applying controlled pressure without changing the thickness. Using specialty dies and presses, force creates accurate and repeatable bends on sheet metal, forming it around an axis line.
Common techniques like air bending, bottom bending, and coining use different tooling to produce different angled bends and shapes depending on the requirements. Factors like metal type, thickness, desired angles, part size, and volume determine the bending methodology selected.
With CNC equipment, the location and force applied can be precisely controlled to efficiently mass-produce components with tight tolerances and consistent results from one part to the next. The combination of efficiency, precision, and flexibility makes sheet metal bending an ideal process to inexpensively shape sheet stock into finalized enclosures, brackets, containers, building materials, and more.
