FOR YOUR INSPIRATION

FOR YOUR INSPIRATION! Fabricating jobs often require the bending of parts. Typically, fabricators use press brakes for these operations. Sometimes using a press brake seems like overkill, especially on smaller parts. A press brake adds a secondary operation and cost to a job that really may not need it. Bending parts by hand could help lower manufacturing costs and speed time to delivery. This folio shows actual customer parts bending solutions that were developed by Mate. We hope they inspire you to do more with your punch press.
