What is sheet metal

It is a comprehensive cold working process aimed at metal thin plates (usually less than 6mm), including shearing, punching, cutting, composite, folding, welding, riveting, splicing and forming, etc. The notable feature is that the thickness of the same part is the same

 

Processing methods for sheet metal

Non mold processing: a process for sheet metal production using equipment such as numerical punching, laser cutting, shearing machines, bending machines, riveting machines, etc. It is generally used for sample production or small batch production, and has a high cost. Short processing cycle and rapid response.

Mold processing: Using fixed molds to process sheet metal, there are generally cutting molds and forming molds, mainly used for mass production with lower costs. The initial mold cost is high, and the quality of the parts is guaranteed. Long initial processing cycle and high mold cost
