Precision Plate Bending & Press Brake Forming
Genesisprairie delivers high-precision plate bending and CNC press brake forming services for flat sheet metal and thicker plates requiring accurate angles and complex geometries.
Our modern CNC press brakes with multi-axis control and dynamic crowning ensure consistent bend angles, minimal springback issues, and tight tolerances across prototypes, small batches, and full production runs. We handle a wide range of materials including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and specialty alloys — from thin gauge sheets to heavy plates.
- CNC press brake forming with multi-bend capabilities
- Accurate V-bends, U-bends, channels & flanges
- Tight angular tolerances (±0.5° or better)
- Prototype development & high-volume production
- Hemming, flanging & offset bends
- Heavy plate bending up to thick materials
- In-process inspection & quality verification
- End-to-end management & global delivery
Frequently Asked Questions
Plate bending and press brake forming involve material properties, tooling, and precision — here are answers to the most common questions we receive.
We bend mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and specialty alloys. Thickness ranges from thin sheet (0.020") up to heavy plate (typically 0.25"–1.00"+ depending on material, length, and bend complexity). Contact us with your specs for exact capability.
We handle angles from 1° kick bends up to 135°+ (including obtuse and acute). Typical angular tolerance is ±0.5° to ±1.0°; linear/position tolerances ±0.010"–±0.030" depending on part complexity, material, and setup. Tighter tolerances available with advanced tooling and verification.
Our CNC press brakes use material-specific bend allowances, springback compensation algorithms, dynamic crowning, and offline programming. We perform test bends, in-process checks, and final inspections (including angle measurement tools) to maintain repeatability across batches.
Yes — from simple single-bend brackets to complex multi-stage parts with flanges, hems, offsets, and channels. We excel at rapid prototyping, low-volume custom runs, and scalable production with full project management, assembly options, and global shipping.
