On form to shape a new service
Photofab have a wealth of experience in producing tooling for forming sheet metal, this has helped to support our world-leading chemical etching. Proven to be an essential part of the production journey, Photofab have heavily invested in a dedicated secondary unit, the aim of this is to offer an even greater service and flexibility to our customers.
Although originally set up to provide an in-house solution to support the etching division, it has proven so successful, Photofab are now offering toolroom, forming and finishing as stand-alone services. Customers can now enjoy the flexibility of enjoying the convenience of full-service manufacture or pick and choose services to suit them.
Bespoke innovations for a better service
Photofab are already established in the industry for quality hard tooling. Forming and finishing was the next logical step as true stand-alone services, luckily, we have highly experienced engineers on hand to ensure these were set up to compliment the renowned standards of the etching division.
Along with 100’s of stock universal tooling and capabilities for custom tooling, our team have developed a custom multi-slide tool for specialist curvature forming. This is backed up by a team of highly trained metal formers, 40 presses and a new addition to the family, an SP30. Photofab can now handle sheet metal up to 6mm thick and 500mm wide, providing an incredibly diverse range of capabilities.
