WHAT IS SHEET METAL FORMING?
Sheet metal forming refers to a range of processes used to shape sheet metal into the desired forms. These processes can be carried out using both cold and hot forming.
In cold forming, the sheet metal is processed at room temperature, which often results in increased strength of the finished product. Hot forming, on the other hand, is carried out at elevated temperatures to increase the material’s formability and make it easier to achieve complex shapes.
The choice of material – whether steel, aluminium, stainless steel or special alloys – has a significant influence on formability and the mechanical properties of the finished product.
Advantages of sheet metal forming:
- Increased material strength through cold forming
- Greater variety of shapes through hot forming
- Wide range of material options for specific applications

SHEET METAL FORMING PROCESSES
In sheet metal processing, various forming processes are available, each offering specific advantages. The most common processes include press braking, roll bending, deep drawing and embossing.
These processes enable sheet metal to be formed into a wide variety of shapes required for specific applications in medical technology, mechanical engineering, agricultural engineering and many other fields.
The choice of the appropriate process depends on several factors, including the material thickness, the complexity of the desired shape and the production volume.
