As reported by The Fabricator in their article, “Precision Sheet Metal Folding Technology Enables Kit Manufacturing,” manufacturers have always pursued more efficient ways to improve production. Advancements in machinery and tools have continuously driven better margins, opened new markets, and addressed labor challenges.

One critical area of improvement is the relationship between blanking and bending. While laser cutting has made blanking highly flexible, traditional bending processes often slow down production due to tool retrieval, tryout parts, and setup inefficiencies. This bottleneck makes small lot sizes and kit-based manufacturing difficult to implement.
