Shaking Up The Sheetmetal Business

Standard sheet steel manufacturing is extremely inefficient for the low-volume manufacturing seen within the area business. At Machina Labs, they developed a novel technique of forming sheet steel utilizing two robotic arms to bend the steel into totally different geometries. This technique cuts down the time to supply giant sheet steel components from a number of months down to a couple hours. Ed Mehr, Co-Founder and CEO of Machina Labs, explains this revolutionary manufacturing course of.
