Cold sheet metal bending
MP provides a sheet metal bending service involving bending materials at room temperature and using punches and dies. This process allows for creating different shapes, such as open-section elements, as specified in project requirements and requested by the customer, completing the product shaping process.
Mould bending process for sheet metal
Mould bending involves shaping a metal sheet through plastic deformation and folding it according to project specifications to produce high-quality finished or semi-finished products.
This method is ideal for precise and efficient processing of large-scale productions, facilitating mass production.
Over the years, MP has developed specific operational techniques that ensure handling short production runs smoothly.
Metals suitable for bending
Not all metals are suitable for bending, and it's crucial to consider their specific properties carefully.
When force is applied to bend a metal sheet, the outer layers experience stress, while the inner layers compress and bend as the metal resists deformation.
Metals that can be worked through bending are ductile, tough and deform without fracturing.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel is ductile and resistant, making it suitable for bending processes and ideal for producing structural and industrial components.
Phosphor bronze
Phosphor bronze is suitable for bending and withstand heavy loads and is ideal for mechanical and industrial components.

Mould design service for metal bending
MP offers a mould design service tailored for metal bending, utilising dies provided by customers or developing custom solutions through a strong network of external partners.
Designing a mould involves consideration of different factors such as the type of material being bent, the geometry of the piece, and the pressure applied to the sheet metal.
The die must ensure precise processing, repeatable forming, and minimise any errors or defects.
MP collaborates with external partners to optimise geometries and characteristics, ensuring production meets the highest quality standards.
