As highlighted by The Fabricator in their article, “Precision Sheet Metal Folding Technology Enables Kit Manufacturing,” technological advancements have always driven manufacturing efficiency, opening new markets and improving production processes. However, inefficiencies in a single step can limit overall process improvements.
One critical example is the relationship between blanking and bending. While laser cutting has made blanking highly flexible, traditional bending processes can introduce inefficiencies due to lengthy setups and batch production requirements. This poses a challenge for kit-based manufacturing, where components move as a unit through various production stages.
