Increased Sheet Metal Bending Capabilities

CNC metal bending is the most popular add-on service we offer here at SendCutSend. So much so that we’ve coined the hashtag #SendBENDSend. If you’re looking to turn your 2D project into a 3D part, then bending is where you start.

For this reason, we’re continually looking for ways to expand our bending capabilities adding more materials, more thicknesses, and the ability to bend larger parts.

Overall flat size can now be up to 44″ x 30″ and up to .250″ thick. See our material details for max bend lengths on specific materials.
