FOLDING STAMPING Sometimes the metal needs to be bent at a specific angle, and folding is used to achieve this result. Products such as shelf brackets or computer equipment are produced via this method. The metal is pressed in between a stamp die to create a raised section of the metal. This is how coins are manufactured. PUNCHING MACHINING Machining carefully remove metal & reshape it into the end product & involve drills, CNC lathes, & other such machinery. A punching tool is used to punch holes in the metal to create the desired part or component. Blanking is when a specialized punch works on a sheet to make multiple parts at once–the metal punched out is the final product. CUTTING WELDING There are many ways to cut nowadays. The old standby is the saw. Others now include plasma torches, water jets, and lasers. There is a wide range of complexity and price, with some machines costing in the millions.
