01 / What We Fabricate
Bent Sheet Metal Parts for OEM Equipment
OEM press-brake parts require repeatable bend datums, tooling strategy, springback compensation and inspection controls—not only a nominal bend angle.
Precision Brackets
L-brackets, Z-brackets, offset brackets, mounting tabs and multi-bend supports with hole-to-bend control.
Chassis and Trays
Electronics chassis, shallow trays, rack parts, base plates and folded support parts with hardware-ready features.
Production Bend Kits
Revision-controlled formed parts grouped by product model, assembly station or OEM build sequence.
Our scope: build-to-print press brake formed parts
DRAmetal manufactures formed sheet metal parts to released drawings and agreed inspection plans. The OEM owns final product design approval, system-level validation and any industry certification tied to the finished equipment.

04 / Manufacturing Process
From Bend Review to Formed-Part Packout
01
Drawing and Bend Review
Confirm material, thickness, inside radius, bend direction, grain direction, reliefs, tolerances and cosmetic surfaces.
02
Flat Pattern and Tooling Check
Review bend sequence, tooling access, hole-to-bend risks, flange length and springback compensation.
03
Cutting and Deburring
Laser cut or punch flat blanks, then control burrs, tabs, corner reliefs and small features before bending.
04
CNC Press Brake Forming
Form parts with controlled sequence, tooling and inspection points for critical bends.
05
Inspection and Finish
Check angle, flange length, hole relationships, twist, coating quality and hardware presence where required.
06
Production Packout
Pack formed parts by drawing revision, model, station or bend kit to reduce OEM sorting work.
05 / Why It Matters
Why Press Brake Formed Parts Need Dedicated Controls
Bending is often where a flat blank becomes a functional component. Small errors in bend radius, sequence or datum inspection can create downstream assembly failures.
Hole-to-Bend Fit
Mounting holes near bends need enough relief and inspection from functional datums.
Springback
Aluminum, stainless and high-strength steel may need compensation to hit the final angle.
Bend Sequence
Incorrect sequencing can create tool interference, twist or inconsistent flange dimensions.
Cost Control
Better DFM reduces special tooling, rework and bending time on production runs.

Why OEMs Use DRAmetal for Press Brake Formed Parts
01
Bending and fabrication under one roof
Flat pattern, cutting, punching, bending, hardware, welding and finishing are coordinated together.
02
DFM for formed parts
We review bend radii, reliefs, flange lengths, hole placement and material risks before production.
03
Functional inspection
Angles, hole-to-bend dimensions, datums, twist and assembly interfaces are checked against drawing intent.
04
Production kit delivery
Formed parts can be packed by product model, station and revision for direct OEM line use.

09 / FAQ
Press Brake Formed Sheet Metal Parts FAQ
What press brake formed parts can DRAmetal make?
We fabricate bent panels, brackets, covers, chassis, trays, flanges, rails, base plates and production bend kits to released drawings.
Can you help reduce bending cost?
Yes. We review bend radius, flange length, hole-to-bend distance, material choice, tooling access and bend sequence to reduce avoidable cost and rework.
How do you control bend accuracy?
We use CNC press brake forming, bend sequence planning, first article inspection, angle checks and CTQ hole-to-bend dimension checks.
What should be included in a bending RFQ?
Send drawings, STEP files, material and thickness, inside bend radius, tolerance notes, cosmetic surfaces, finish requirements, quantity and any assembly-fit requirements.
