What Is Metal Bending and Forming?

Metal bending and metal forming are both key processes in sheet metal work. At first glance, they may seem similar, but they serve different purposes.

Metal bending applies force to sheet metal to create precise angles and shapes, using different methods. These methods include: V-bending, air bending, bottoming, roll bending, rotary draw bending (for tubes), wipe bending, and coining. Each method varies in tooling, pressure, and how the bend is formed.

Metal Forming, in contrast, reshapes metal without removing material to create complex geometries or high-strength parts. Key techniques include stamping, deep drawing, and forging.

Choosing between bending and forming depends on the part’s geometry, material, and strength requirements. Metal bending is ideal for simple bends with specific angles. Metal forming is better for parts with complex shapes/high strength.
