Metal shearing

Metal shearing can shape any sheet metal using punches and dies to cut it and give it the desired shape. 
The sheet metal shearing process requires great experience and maximum precision. 
Minifaber specializes in sheet metal fabrication, and has the know-how, technologies and flexibility to perform shearing on iron, stainless steel, aluminum, copper and special alloys. Minifaber's great advantage is the use of technologically advanced machinery that can perform sheet metal shearing accurately and quickly.

Below is a list of the key advantages of the metal blanking process (ferrous materials, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, special alloys). 

1. High precision 
Shearing results in parts with very tight dimensional tolerances and well-defined profiles. It is ideal for making complex components with precise details.

2. High production speed 
It is a fast process, especially when automated machinery is used. It is suitable for mass production, with short cycle times per part.

3. Low material waste 
Optimizing part layout on the sheet metal (nesting) minimizes scrap, thus increasing economic and environmental efficiency.

4. Versatility 
It can be used on a wide range of materials, such as steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and light alloys. It is suitable for different sheet metal thicknesses, from thin to thicker.

5. Repeatability and uniformity 
Each sheared part has the same dimensions and quality, ensuring high uniformity in production batches.

6. Compatibility with other processes 
Shearing can be combined with other processes (e.g, bending, drawing) in a single progressive die to create finished parts.

7. Economic efficiency for large volumes 
Once the die has been made, the unit cost of parts decreases significantly as production increases.

8. Design flexibility 
It can be used to make parts with very different and complex geometries, depending on the needs of the project.

9. High-quality finish 
The cut surface is generally clean and precise, reducing or eliminating the need for additional work.

10. Low environmental impact 
The process does not require heating (as in hot processing), reducing energy consumption and emissions.

We at Minifaber have extensive know-how in this sheet metal process and support our customers daily in producing finished and semi-finished parts with excellent results.
