What Is Steel Forming & Shearing?
DB Custom Manufacturing has the skills, experience, and equipment to form metal to your specifications – whether you need a product run or just have one unique project in mind.
We use a hydraulic press brake that clamps the sheet of metal between an upper and lower die to create an angle of up to +90 degrees.
Our custom metal forming services have been used to create products large and small for a wide variety of commercial and agricultural users. We also work with manufacturers to design, tool, engineer and complete prototypes and production runs.
Shearing is a standard process used to cut sheet and plate metal with high precision. Shears are similar to scissors, but their top and bottom blades are made of high-carbon steel. This produces a straight, clean cut every time, so you don’t have to worry about rough edges or uneven cuts.
