- Accuracy: Programmed laser cutters and CNC bending machines with high-quality software, as well as top-notch equipment, can produce accurate bends.
- No tooling investment: The laser cutting and sheet metal bending processes don’t require specialised tooling, as common tools usually can produce the desired bends. This means limited tooling investment.
- Speed of manufacture: Sheet metal parts can be produced fast, enabling big quantities of components to be produced in a short space of time.
- Fewer parts required: Making a workpiece from one piece of material instead of multiple, through the use of joints, reduces time, errors, complexity, and failure points.
- Less weight: There is a complex range of bends available. Strength can be achieved without the need for too much material. This reduces weight, which is an advantage for every step in the supply chain.
- Lower costs: CNC cutting, laser cutting and bending cut down on the manual labour required, and parts can therefore be made by less-skilled workers, leading to lower-end costs.
