Bending and Forming Processes at MXY

Forming is the process of transforming metal into a new shape without cutting or removing any material. It alters the physical appearance of the metal while maintaining its original mass. Our metal forming technique ensures a consistent shape and a uniform appearance using different types of materials.

We can shape sheet metal into V, U, or channel forms by bending it. This enables us to produce parts for different industries. Our capability includes working with materials that are less than 6 inches wide and up to 10 ft. long.

Our advanced press brakes accurately bend metal with precision. We can adjust the position and angle of the backstop to ensure flawless bends consistently.

Punching is a method used to create a hole or mark on a material. Our punch machine is capable of handling both simple and intricate shapes, and can accommodate multiple stamps at once. Although punching is not as versatile as using a laser cutter, it is a quicker option for repetitive shapes.
