The answer is simple: cold, without a shadow of a doubt. But let\u2019s see why.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cold bending<\/strong> is most commonly used because it can adapt to any type of metal sheet. It also offers quite precise, quick and above all, repeatable bends.<\/p>\n<p>Hot bending on the other hand, requires a slower process and is not as precise as cold. This, together with the need for specialist equipment, means that the costs are significantly higher.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Riva Tecnoimpianti<\/strong> is a company with a high degree of specialisation in cold bending sheet metal.<\/p>\n<p>This processing technique is extremely important in industrial production, where large product quantities are required with short turnaround times.<\/p>\n<p>These products are generally used in building work, to make domestic appliances etc.<\/p>\n<h2>The main stages in sheet metal bending<\/h2>\n<p>There are three main stages in bending sheet metal. First of all, <strong>preparation of the material<\/strong> and <strong>setting the bending parameters<\/strong>. After which, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rivatecnoimpianti.com\/en\/steelwork\/bending\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bending process<\/a> is performed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Once this step has been completed, the piece goes to quality control. This stage, in particular, is performed by <strong>Riva Tecnoimpianti<\/strong> with the utmost care and attention to be sure of offering a job well done, free from errors.<\/p>\n<p>The thickness and dimensions of the material for processing are chosen according to the customer\u2019s requirements.<\/p>\n<p>For any further information or clarifications, please <a href=\"https:\/\/rivatecnoimpianti.com\/en\/contacts-riva-tecnoimpianti-lecco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>contact Riva Tecnoimpianti<\/strong><\/a>, which is able to offer an active consultation service, managed by a highly qualified team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sheet metal bending is one of the processing steps used to complete metal structural work This process is performed using a machine known as a press brake, thanks to which it is possible to give the metal the required shape.
