Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between panel bending and press brake forming?

Press brakes are ideal for one-off or custom bends, while panel bending excels at repetitive, multi-bend parts where consistency and speed are critical.

Do you support prototype production with panel bending?

Yes, our team regularly assists with prototypes and transitions designs into repeatable production runs.

What industries benefit most from panel bending?

Industries that require consistent, complex parts—such as electrical equipment, transportation, and construction—find panel bending especially valuable.
