Traditional Methods: Flexibility for Low - volume and Custom Work
Like many other traditional methods, manual bending using basic tools and mechanical presses allow for lower volume and custom work with greater flexibility. Less sophisticated tools bring lower capital expenditures and they can be rapidly set up for one-off and small-batch production runs. For instance, a hand – craft metal furniture shop may prefer to use metal bending techniques that are more conventional in nature so as to correspond with their artistic and highly tailored requirements.
