In precision sheet metal folding, standard metal-on-metal contact in a press brake can cause friction lines and die markings. For cosmetic or highly sensitive components, this usually means hours of costly secondary polishing.
At SSC Laser, we can offer a specialized solution: Neoprene Urethane Tooling Films.
How it works: Upon request of the customer who requires minimal marking on their folded items, this high-resiliency film is introduced as a protective barrier between the sheet metal and the die. Instead of scraping against hardened steel, the material slides against the dense, flexible cushion. The film distributes the tonnage evenly, minimising surface defects.
Choosing the right tooling technique saves time, cuts out secondary rework, and delivers assembly-ready parts straight to your workshop.
