General Motors announced today that it is testing a thermal-forming process and proprietary corrosion resistance treatment for lightweight magnesium sheet metal — an industry-first. This is awesome, ...

Forming sheet metal is one of the most critical processes in fabricating and manufacturing parts and components. In sheet metal forming, metals are reshaped in their solid state while they are still ...

In order to improve the forming quality, it is vital to understand the mechanisms that cause the plastic strain localization which eventually leads to ductile damage occurrence in the incremental ...

Machina says its robotic method is faster than conventional molds or dies. Based in the Seattle area, Garrett covers the space sector and advanced technologies that are shaping the future of aerospace ...

Using 3D printed forms to bend sheet metal isn’t exactly new. We’ve seen several people create custom dies for their brakes, and the results have shown the concept has merit for small-scale production ...

Sheet metal forming operations can vary greatly in their processes. From simple bending to stretching to deep drawing of complex parts, sheet metal forming operations may take many forms. Image Credit ...

Forming complex shapes in metal sheets is still a laborious process, especially if you aren’t needing more than a couple parts so stamping doesn’t make sense. That may change with Digital Sheet ...
