In sheet metal fabrication, the selection of materials directly determines the manufacturability of parts, costs and performance. In engineering aspect, soft metal indicates the metal that has lower yield strength and higher elongation at break. This type of metal can be formed or machined and it is not easy to occur cracking. Now let us […]

In engineering, sheet metal fabrication manufacturing is one of the essential techniques that can turn plates or metal sheets into 3D parts with different functions. We understand, the provided CAD models and engineering drawings from you require strict tolerance and complex geometries. Tuofa’s sheet metal bending solution can make your engineering design into real parts […]

Sheet metal is always bent into different shapes or structures for different applications. However, whether the sheet metal can be bent successfully is influenced by an important parameter that is called bend radius. In this article, we will explain what is bend radius and how to measure it for you. What Is Bend Radius of […]

Can stainless steel sheet metal be bent into parts? Are you looking for an ideal material for your sheet metal project? In fact, stainless steel is the widely-used engineer metal for manufacturing precision parts. Today in this article, we will discuss the mechanical properties of stainless steel sheet metal and explore how can it be […]

It is important to select the right aluminum alloy for bending, especially for engineers and procurement specialists. Why? Because selecting aluminum would impacts parts functions, appearance, production efficiency, and manufacturing cost. Aluminum is popular for its excellent strength and corrosion resistance. But it doesn’t mean that all aluminum grades are suitable for bending. In this […]

Rapid prototyping is a vital technique for custom metal parts. It enables engineering drawings to be rapidly transformed into real metal parts, which can optimize product manufacturing processes. If your project requires custom sheet metal products, sheet metal rapid prototyping is your ideal choice. So what does sheet metal prototyping mean? This article will provide […]

It is difficult to find flat sheet metal parts in real applications, it means that sheet metal needs to be machined for applications. In fact, most of metal sheets are bent into different shapes such as special angles, channels, or curved profiles to meet specific assembly requirements. However, bending sheet metal isn’t a simple thing […]
