Frequently asked questions about sheet metal forming at all-forming (FAQ)
What is sheet metal forming?
Sheet metal forming refers to manufacturing processes in which flat sheets are shaped into a three-dimensional geometry through plastic deformation. These include bending, embossing, deep drawing and other forming processes.
What is deep drawing?
In deep drawing, a flat sheet is formed into a three-dimensional shape using a tool. The process is particularly suitable for rotationally symmetrical or complex deep-drawn components.
When is deep drawing useful?
Deep drawing is particularly suitable for components with three-dimensional geometries, high stability requirements and a desired reproducible shape. Whether deep drawing, CNC machining (milling & turning) or another process is more economical depends on the geometry, material and quantity.
Which materials can be formed?
all-forming processes, among others, steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper and other non-ferrous metals. The possible material thickness depends on the material, component and forming process.
Can formed components undergo further processing afterwards?
Yes. Formed components can subsequently undergo further processing, for example by 3D laser cutting, CNC machining (milling & turning), welding or assembly.
Which tools are required for sheet metal forming?
Depending on the component, different forming, embossing or deep-drawing tools are used. With its in-house toolmaking, all-forming can manufacture tools and fixtures internally and adapt them to the respective application.
Is sheet metal forming also suitable for small quantities?
Yes. Depending on the geometry, tooling effort and quantity, smaller volumes can also be produced economically. Component geometry and anticipated demand are particularly decisive for the appropriate manufacturing strategy.
How fast are all-forming delivery times for sheet metal forming?
Thanks to in-house CAD design, toolmaking and manufacturing, delivery times ranging from a few days to several weeks are possible, depending on complexity and quantity.
What is the difference between sheet metal forming and CNC machining?
Sheet metal forming changes the material through plastic deformation without removing material, while CNC machining removes material by cutting. Both processes are often used in combination.
What does a deep-drawn part cost?
The costs depend, among other things, on the material, component geometry, quantity, tooling effort and further processing steps. After reviewing the technical documents, all-forming can determine the suitable manufacturing process and prepare an individual quotation.
How can parts be ordered from all-forming, and what does the process involve?
The ordering process at all-forming is simple and efficient – with personal support from the very beginning:
- From this point onward, all-forming takes over the entire manufacturing process – from planning through to on-time delivery.
- You send us your CAD data (e.g. STEP, DXF) or a technical drawing with all specific requirements (material, coating, quantity).
- Within a short time, you will receive a non-binding quotation from your personal contact.
- After you place your order, you will receive an order confirmation with all relevant details.
