Presswork Processes

Typical presswork processes include: shearing, bending, deep drawing, forging and jointing. Within these general classifications a whole range of operations can be performed in the metal manufacturing process to produce the exact specifications for a wide range of components. For example, shearing includes operations such as the cutting, stamping, punching, trimming and shaping of metal parts. Other metal forming processes associated with presswork include: embossing, bulging, flange forming, edge bending and many more.

Presswork can be a simple process or a multi-stage process depending on the complexity of the component required.
