Press brakes are also used in the construction industry. While construction workers typically use drywall to fill out a building’s interior, they often use sheet metal for the roofs. Metal roofs are incredibly durable, so they can withstand the elements. Usually, all sheet metal that has to be cut or shaped is done so at a separate site. Press brakes are heavy-duty pieces of equipment. So, it isn’t wise to bring one to a busy construction site. Instead, workers should cut all materials at a different location and bring them over a later time.
