Sheet metal processing is a comprehensive cold processing process for thin metal plates (usually below 6mm), including shearing, punching, bending, welding, riveting, mold forming, and surface treatment. Its prominent feature is the consistent thickness of the same part.

Sheet metal processing method:

Non mold processing: A process for processing sheet metal using equipment such as digital punching, laser cutting, plate shears, bending machines, and rivet machines. It is generally used for sample production or small batch production, with high costs. Short processing cycle and rapid response.

Mold processing: Using fixed molds to process sheet metal, there are generally blanking molds and molding molds, which are mainly used for mass production and have a lower cost. The early stage mold cost is high, and the quality of the parts is guaranteed. Long pre processing cycle and high mold cost.

Sheet metal processing process:

Blanking: digital punching, laser cutting, plate shearing machine

Forming - bending, stretching, punching: bending machines, presses, etc

Other processing: press riveting, tapping, etc

Welding: sheet metal connections

Surface treatment: powder spraying, electroplating, wire drawing, screen printing, etc
