Sheet Metal Forming

Sheet Metal Forming

We undertake both fine limit and heavy gauge sheet metal forming as well as sheet rolling. Our primary brake presses are:

1 x Megoform 2m 50 Tonne CNC brake press. The Megoform is perfect for smaller, close tolerance, multi-bend components.

1 x AFM 3m 160 Tonne CNC brake press. The AFM press allows us to form components up to 3100mm long and deal with thicknesses up to 25mm.

AFM 3m 160 Tonne CNC brake press


We hold a large library of tooling suited for a wide range of folds including heavy gauge and fine limit forming. Tooling includes standard 90 dies as well as specialist dies for Dutch bending, radius forming and joggling. Other specialist tools can be manufactured to customer specification.

Sheetmetal Forming Tools

Sheet rolling can be undertaken upto 1m wide and 2mm thick.

Below are examples of the type of work we undertake.

Fine Limit Sheet Metal
This component made from 2mm stainless steel has been punched, folded welded and fitted with inserts and is a good example of the complex precision sheetmetal work we carry out.
Sheet Metal Forming
Sheetmetal Panels
We can provide sheetmetal panels upto 3mm a wide range of applications such as machinery covers, enclosures, cabinets and boxes. The item to the right is a battery cover for an access platform.
Sheet Metal Forming
Heavy Plate Metal Work
We use our punch press to its fullest capacity. These components are 1200mm wide and made from punched and formed 5mm mild steel plate.

Custom Tooling
Border Engineering Ltd can make to order bespoke fly & brake press tooling to specification. This light fixture was manufactured using bespoke tooling pole radius as well as the inner flats on the outer clamp shown to the right.
Sheet Metal Forming
Welded Metal Plate
This item made of 5mm metal plate has been welded and cleaned prior to powder coating.
Sheet Metal Forming
Precision Folded Sheet Metalwork
These items have all been formed to close tolerances from heavy gauge 3mm sheet steel.
Sheet Metal Forming
Part Identification
A close look at the surface of these items will show that they have been stamped with a serial number for easy part identification.
Sheet Metal Forming
