What is the typical turnaround for CNC forming?

Standard turnaround is 5–10 business days depending on complexity and quantity. Simple bends with existing tools can be faster. Rush services available. Contact us for project-specific timelines.

How much does CNC press brake forming cost?

Pricing depends on material, thickness, bend complexity, quantity, and tooling. Simple bends are more economical. For accurate quotes, send your CAD files (DXF, STEP) and quantity to Paul@PT-Metals.com or call (330) 767-3003. We quote within 1–3 business days.

Why Choose CNC Forming

The Advantage of CNC Press Brake Technology

CNC control delivers precision and consistency that manual presses cannot match. Every bend is programmed and executed to specification, ensuring that part 1 is identical to part 1,000. This repeatability eliminates scrap and rework, saving time and cost on production runs.

Quick tool changes and fast setup times make CNC press brakes ideal for prototype work. Instead of days to set up manual tooling, CNC allows rapid reprogramming. Move from design to first article in days, then scale to production without long setup costs.

Complex multi-bend geometries that would require multiple manual operations or secondary fabrication can often be completed in a single CNC sequence. This reduces handling, improves accuracy, and cuts total fabrication time.

Integrated with our full-service facility, CNC forming pairs seamlessly with laser cutting, welding, hardware insertion, and assembly. One vendor, one schedule, one point of contact. We eliminate vendor coordination overhead and reduce your total lead time.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can you bend on a CNC press brake?

PT Metals forms steel (carbon steel, A36), stainless steel (304, 316), and aluminum (6061, 5052, 3003) in a wide range of gauges — from thin sheet to heavy plate. We also handle galvanized, painted, and pre-plated materials on request. Contact us at Paul@PT-Metals.com or (330) 767-3003 to confirm your specific material.

What tolerances can CNC press brake forming achieve?

CNC press brakes typically achieve ±0.5° bend angle accuracy and ±1/32" (±0.79mm) flange length tolerances on standard work. Tighter tolerances are possible for repeat runs and with tool optimization. Springback varies by material and thickness, but our CNC programming accounts for this to deliver consistent results. Discuss your tolerance requirements upfront for the best approach.

Can you handle complex multi-bend parts?

Yes. CNC press brakes excel at complex, repeatable multi-bend geometries — boxes, channels, enclosures, and custom assemblies. The CNC control ensures consistency across production runs. We support rapid setup for prototype-to-production workflows, so you can test a design quickly and scale to production without retooling.

What is the typical turnaround for CNC press brake forming?

Standard turnaround is 5–10 business days depending on complexity and quantity. Simple bends with existing tooling can be faster. We also offer rush services for time-critical projects. Contact us with your timeline to confirm delivery.

How do I get a quote for CNC forming?

Prepare your CAD files (DXF or STEP preferred), specify material and gauge, outline your bend sequence, note any tolerance requirements, and tell us the quantity. Send to Paul@PT-Metals.com or call (330) 767-3003. We quote within 1–3 business days.
