Sheet Metal Processing involves various types, mainly including laser cutting, water jet cutting, plasma cutting and other processes used for material separation, as well as bending, punching, shearing and other processes used for material forming. In addition, there are other processing methods such as curling, ironing and hydraulic forming. Selecting the type of processing, product requirements and material characteristics need to be considered. Welding, riveting and other processes can also be used during the processing to meet the structural and connection requirements, ensuring the quality and functionality of sheet metal parts. Hic tres generis usus introducamus

1,Cutting

a. Cut: Cut operation along the straight line between two cutting edges

b. Punching: A one-step cutting operation along a closed contour to produce the required parts

c. Stamping: Cutting operation along a closed contour, where the remaining inventory is parts

2 , Bending

Densita lapidis metallis quae deformationem plasticam subportat per deformationem circum axim rectam quasi non modificatum est

Other bending/forming operations

1. Flanging: straight, stretch, shrink

2. Curritio: In multis gradibus ferentibus, extremia lapidis crescunt ut crescerent rigiditatem et meliorem aspectum

3. Seam: Similar to rolled edges, but assembled with two plates metallic edges

4. Curritio: Formatio lateribus partee in formam rotatum aut curratum facit securitatem, fortitudinem et aestheticam

3,Stretching

Metal sheet forming process used for manufacturing cup-shaped, box shaped, or other complex curved and concave parts, commonly used parts: beverage cans, ammunition shells, sinks, cookware, automotive body panels

Si forma commutata pro parte design est nimis grava, perfecta formatio partee potest requirere multiplices gradus extensionis, cognoscata est quasi extra gradus extensionis. Intenium anuli anguli pressionis est prohibere pulchritudinem flange, lacrimandum, aurem et superficiem in calice pullandum.
