Sheet bending is the step that turns flat laser-cut blanks into functional parts—brackets, panels, guards, channels, and simple frames. With accurate sheet bending, parts assemble the way they should, hardware lines up, and projects move forward without rework and field fixes.
As experts in sheet bending and metal forming, we work with carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum across a wide range of gauges. FPS offers a wide range of metal forming capabilities, including cutting, fabrication, stamping, machining, deep draw, bending, and punching, supported by state-of-the-art precision press brakes.
As a sheet bending provider, we rely on advanced equipment and experienced operators to deliver consistent bends across prototypes and production runs.
Our sheet bending capabilities are built on:
By tying sheet bending directly to cutting, welding, and finishing, we can take your flat patterns from CAD file to bent, ready-to-assemble parts under one roof.
We synchronize our precision metal work with the highest quality of customer service, while using state-of-the-art technologies that provide customized metal fabrication solutions to fulfill our customer needs.
We are pleased to announce that we are a part of the Made in Missouri USA Program sponsored by the Missouri Association of Manufacturers and the Missouri Buy MO Program, sponsored by the Office of the Governor Mike Kehoe. Both Programs are designed to showcase and support all the incredible and unique products made by Missouri manufactures and business.
We respond quickly with clear pricing, lead times, and any recommendations that could improve cost, manufacturability, or performance.
Sheet bending is the process of using press brakes and other forming equipment to bend flat sheet metal into specific angles and shapes. In our shop, sheet bending typically follows laser or plasma cutting and precedes welding and finishing, so parts flow through a complete fabrication process in one facility.
We use sheet bending to create:
Sheet bending at FPS typically covers:
Because we also offer tube and shaped steel bending, we can review additional shapes and materials as needed.
Yes. We support:
You do not need a large minimum order for sheet bending; we can scale with your project as it grows.
Preferred file formats for sheet bending and flat-pattern quotes are DXF, DWG, STP and PDF.
We use state-of-the-art precision press brakes with a unique up-acting design to help eliminate part canoeing and maintain consistent production quality. Angles and critical dimensions are checked and adjusted during setup so parts stay within your tolerances.
Sheet bending cost is influenced by:
We can often recommend changes to flange lengths, bend radii, or layout that reduce bending time and simplify handling.
Yes. Sheet bending is one step in our broader fabrication process. We can:
Sand blast and powder coat them in-house.
