There is no greater indication of a steel fabrication company’s skills than their press brake and forming abilities.

As one of the most fundamental metal fabricating, press brake bending and forming bends metal by forming it along a straight axis with punch and die sets being used to create "V"-shaped, "U”-shaped, or channel-shaped configurations. Manipulating flat metal into versatile shapes dramatically increases its usefulness.

Press brake forming and bending is commonly found in metal housings, machine brackets, metal framing, decorative fixtures, protoypes, and many other applications. This technique is advantageous because of its adaptability to a wide range of production requirements, minimal tooling requirements, capability for forming ductile materials, and suitability for the production of smaller parts.
