Sine it is easy to work with, Sheet metal bending is one of the most common and vital manufacture process for sheet metal fabrication, it is a method to deform a sheet metal by force exceed its yield strength to achieve a deformation of an angular shape. Hence, it is also known as flanging, edging and folding.
At HLH, we have different kinds of bending machines to different kind of bending methods upon different kind of demands for customers. We have the right technologies for different kind of metal material bending. As long as you provide the 3D CAD file to show the size of the bend, bend radius, bend angles, bend allowance and material thickness, we will provide you the best process and finish suggestions.
Simple, single bend parts will have a +/- 0.015” tolerance, bend to edge
Some bulging at the ends of the bend will be expected
Witness marks from the bending process will be visible. These can become deeper and more noticeable depending on the material.
Polycarbonate parts will have noticeable cracking in stressed areas if adequate relief is not provided for each bend
Add dimension to your parts without adding a ton of lead time
Top-notch equipment, robotics and automation help us achieve super precise bending services
We can bend flat sizes from .375″ x 1.5″ up to 44” x 30”
Bend a variety of sheet metals and polycarbonate up to .250″
Stainless steel usually contains at least 10% chromium by weight. They are the first choice for critical joints in engine and exhaust components, landing gear components and aircraft superstructures, ensuring high performance and durability.
Aluminum has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio among these metals. This is an excellent choice for high load requirements on aircraft mounts and enclosures. Aluminum also has good ductility, stiffness, corrosion resistance and workability. Its lightweight properties make it useful in aerospace structural applications such as fuselage skins, wing ribs, wing skins, etc.
Copper has excellent thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity and plasticity. It is also highly ductile, corrosion resistant and easy to weld.
Nickel is silvery-white. hard, malleable, and ductile metal. Pure nickel shows significant chemical activity, but larger pieces of the metal are slow to react with air due to the protective oxide surface.
Tinplate is a thin steel sheet coated by tin. It has an extremely beautiful metallic luster as well as excellent properties in corrosion resistance, solderability, and weldability. Tinplate is used for making all types of containers such as food cans, beverage cans, 18-liter cans, and artistic cans. etc.
Powder coating gives your parts a bold, long-lasting finish and protective layer which provides corrosion, oxidation, and damage resistance.

Thanks HLH!
I ran into an issue while trying to anodize the parts, and HLH helped me out a lot. The problem got solved and I ended up getting the anodizing free of charge. It really is a five star place. Thanks HLH!

I love this company so much!
I love this company so much! The user interface online is amazing. All the materials to choose from, the options, all the add ons everything is so so helpful.
No two sheet metal fabrication projects are the same. So, it makes sense that different applications will require different types of metals. That’s why you need to consider a variety of metals and their properties when choosing materials for your next project.
