By default, sharp edges will be broken and deburred. For any critical edges that must be left sharp, please note and specify them in your drawing.
Metal Bending Materials
RPS’s service for bending metal works with a wide range of high-quality materials of different thicknesses. Our building is full of high-tech tools that can bend materials with different mechanical and thermal properties. Look at some of the things you can use for your project.
Aluminum
Aluminum is the most popular material for making sheet metal in the business world. It is popular because it is flexible, has a high thermal conductivity, and has low resistance. Aluminum is cheaper and can be made at a faster rate than steel, which is another common sheet metal material. The material also makes the least waste and can be used again and again.

Copper
Copper is a common material for making sheet metal in many industries because it is easy to shape and bend. Copper is also a good material for making sheet metal because it is a good heat conductor and electrical conductor.
Models:
C101, C103
Steel
Steel has a lot of useful qualities for industrial uses, such as being strong, long-lasting, resistant to heat, and not rusting. Steel sheet metal is perfect for making intricate designs and parts that need to be very accurate. Steel is also easy to work with and inexpensive, and it polishes well.
Models:
1018, 1020, 1025， 1045， 1215， 4130， 4140， 4340
Surface Finishes for Metal Bended Parts
There are great ways to treat the surface of curved parts and finished products to make them look better. Rapid Protos has a number of finishes that can be used to improve the look and other qualities of a product.
