Differences Between Sheet Metal Bending and Industrial Fabrication
Although both processes are part of steelworking, sheet metal bending and industrial fabrication have key differences in techniques, materials, and applications.
Industrial Machining
Versatility, precision, and performance for every metal component
At FORMEC, we provide specialized industrial machining services focused on manufacturing high-precision metal parts through processes such as CNC machining and CNC turning. Each project is executed using state-of-the-art equipment, ensuring dimensional accuracy, consistent finishes, and competitive lead times.
CNC machining (Computer Numerical Control) is one of the most advanced and efficient processes for shaping metal parts with complex geometries. Through specialized software and automated tooling, it delivers repeatable, precise, and high-speed manufacturing.
At FORMEC, we operate advanced CNC machining centers that allow us to work with various metals under tight tolerances and high efficiency. This service is ideal for functional parts, structural components, molds, and custom elements that require accuracy from the first unit to the last.
CNC turning is the ideal process for manufacturing cylindrical parts or components with precise rotational geometries. Through computerized control, symmetrical cuts, grooves, threads, and smooth surfaces are produced with full repeatability.
At FORMEC, we use high-precision CNC lathes capable of handling a wide range of diameters and lengths. This service is essential for producing shafts, bushings, pulleys, rollers, and industrial components that demand high dimensional stability and fine surface finishes.
