What is press brake bending?
Steel, shaped by
FORCE
Press brake bending uses a powered ram to force a flat sheet of metal between a punch and a die, folding it to a precise angle along a single straight line. The moment the pressure releases, the metal tries to spring back toward flat again, a property called springback.

Frequently Asked ↓
What materials can you bend in George?
Mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium, up to 5 mm. Outside that range, ask before assuming the answer’s no.
How accurate is a press brake bend?
A well calibrated CNC press brake holds bend angles to within roughly half a degree, with linear positioning accurate to a couple of tenths of a millimetre. Tighter tolerances are possible depending on material and complexity, ask when you send through your drawing.
Do you bend long sections, or only small parts?
We’re set up for production runs and longer bends, not single small items. If you need volume, structural lengths, or an ongoing supply arrangement, that’s exactly what we’re geared for.
What file formats can you work with?
We work directly from CAD files, DXF and PDF, that’s the fastest route from your drawing straight to the brake. Images are useful to show us what you’ve got in mind, but they’re not a bending file. If all you can send through is a photo or reference picture, we’ll need to design the part properly before it can be bent, and that design work carries its own fee.
How much does press brake bending cost in George?
Price depends on material, thickness, bend complexity and quantity. A production run brings the per-unit cost down significantly compared to a single item, since setup time is the same either way. Send your drawing and the quantity you need and you’ll have a number back within 24 hours.
How long does a press brake bending job take?
1 to 2 weeks for most jobs, with rush turnaround available for 1-2 days (depending on the job) at an extra cost.
