Metal bending in Montréal — less welding, more consistency
On a production run, bending beats welding. A bent part is faster to produce, more consistent from one unit to the next, and has no bead that can fail. Across a series, the cost difference becomes significant.
When to choose bending
- Production runs where every part has to match the one before it.
- Parts where a bend replaces a welded joint.
- Components that need a clean finish with no grinding rework.
- Reducing the number of parts to assemble in a unit.
The other processes
The right process depends on the part. When to prefer the others:
TIG welding
Prefer it when the bead shows or the sheet is thin.
Learn moreMIG welding
Prefer it when the part has to be strong and move fast.
Learn moreArc welding
Prefer it outdoors, on existing steel and heavy gauges.
Learn morePlasma cutting
Prefer it to pull true parts straight from the drawing.
