Welding
Metal bending and forming refers to reshaping materials with various presses. Using computer numerical control (CNC) equipment introduces more accuracy to the process. While a human operator still oversees the machine, CNC presses allow computer software to control and guide the presses.
Shaping Steel is a trusted and strategic business partner for CNC bending and forming in Pennsylvania and beyond. As a complete contract manufacturing group, we have a highly skilled team that demonstrates a passion for quality and service that distinguishes us from others. Our ISO 9001:2015 certification attests to our commitment to quality, and our innovation helps manufacturers in many industries make custom-designed projects a reality.

Metal inert gas (MIG) welding is a basic arc welding process that joins metals together using a consumable filler metal. This material is typically an alloy formulated to join specific types of metals together, such as:
MIG welding is a simple process, making it a cost-effective option for high-volume projects with fast turnaround times. However, MIG welding is also slightly less reliable than TIG welding — and the melting of the filler material can produce dangerous fumes. Complex projects with more delicate components are less suited to this technique.
