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 ...

Fast forward more than two decades. The founder of Freedom Fabricators in Jupiter, Fla., stands in front of a large press brake and its touchscreen controller, again working aluminum—this time on a ...

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, ...

An outstanding success for Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) - the German Research Foundation (DFG) has extended the Collaborative Research Centre SFB/TRR 73 which will be funded ...

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The global sheet metal fabrication services market is expected to post a CAGR of over 3% during the period 2019-2023, according to the latest market research report by ...

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 ...

Deformation processes transform solid materials from one shape into another. The initial shape is usually simple (e.g., a billet or sheet blank) and is plastically deformed between tools, or dies, to ...

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 ...

Earth’s gravity has long dictated how we build, but a University of Florida engineering team is determined to rewrite the rules – by leaving the planet behind altogether. Associate Professor Victoria ...
