Rocking the Sheetmetal Industry

1 minute read

Conventional sheet metal manufacturing is highly inefficient for the low volume production seen in the aerospace industry. At Machina Labs, they developed a new method for forming sheet metal using two robotic arms to bend metal into different geometries. This method shortens the time to manufacture large sheet metal parts from several months to several hours. Ed Mehr, Co-Founder and CEO of Machina Labs, explains this revolutionary manufacturing process.
