Posted on Feb 09, 2021 by Cullen Hikene
What is Forming?
The forming process shapes a given workpiece, like sheet metal, by using plastic deformation, a mechanical method that does not remove any material.
Sheet Metal Working
Sheet metal working provides bending, forming, press braking, and stamping processes for fabrication requirements, modifying the geometry of a material rather than removing any materials.
Thermoforming
Thermoforming is a manufacturing process where a plastic sheet is heated to a pliable forming temperature, formed to a specific shape in a mold, and trimmed to create a usable product.
Conclusion
Forming is an established and efficient solution in the sheet metal and thermoforming space that offers new and emerging materials for speed-driven fabrication.. Consider submitting an RFQ through manufacturing services such as ProdEX to get started today.
