Shearing

---

Shearing is one of the processes used in sheet metal processing, often referred to as die cutting. This process involves cutting a material without the formation of chips or the burning and melting of the material.

Shearing works by cutting sheet metal coils or sheet metal in flat form. The cutting produces small pieces, which then serve as material for subsequent processes, such as welding or others.

The method operates by applying pressure with sharp edges on both sides toward the sheet metal. The materials that can be processed using this method are not limited to metal; it can also include plastic and paper. However, the processing methods differ when working with these materials compared to metal.
