Advanced CNC Folding & Press Brake Services for Accurate, Consistent Metal Forming
Precision folding is what determines whether a component fits, functions, and performs as intended.
At Apollo Engineering, CNC folding and press brake services are delivered with a focus on accuracy, consistency, and repeatability, ensuring every part meets the demands of real-world applications.
Supported by over 30 years of manufacturing experience and advanced CNC equipment, Apollo Engineering delivers reliable forming outcomes across both one-off and production work.
Consistent Results Across Every Job
Using CNC-controlled press brake equipment, Apollo ensures repeatable accuracy across production runs.
Whether it’s a single component or a batch of parts, the goal remains the same:
- Clean, controlled bends
- Consistent angles
- Reliable outcomes across every piece
This level of control is critical for components that need to integrate seamlessly into larger assemblies.
Why Precision Folding Matters
- Incorrect bends create fitment issues
- Inconsistent angles affect assembly
- Poor forming leads to rework and delays
Apollo Engineering focuses on delivering clean, controlled, and repeatable results — so components perform exactly as intended.
From Flat Sheet to Functional Component
- Fit and alignment
- Structural integrity
- Final assembly performance
Why Choose Apollo
Proven CNC Folding Capability
Apollo Engineering’s press brake capability is designed to handle a wide range of fabrication requirements, from light sheet metal through to heavier plate work.
Capacity includes:
- Folding up to 12mm plate
Equipment:
- 120 tonne CNC press brake
- 3000mm bed length
- 2500mm between frames
- CNC back gauge for repeatable positioning
Folding is rarely a standalone process, it’s part of a larger manufacturing workflow
From Laser Cut to Formed Component
Components are often processed directly from laser cutting into folding, maintaining accuracy from the first cut through to final form.
Keeping these processes in-house allows Apollo Engineering to:
- Maintain tighter quality control
- Reduce handling between stages
- Deliver consistent, repeatable outcomes
Part of a Complete Manufacturing Solution
Folding is one part of a fully integrated manufacturing capability.
Apollo Engineering also provides:
- Laser cutting
- Fabrication from sheet metal to heavy steel construction
- Robotic welding
- CNC machining
- Finishing including 2-pack spray painting
- Assembly and factory acceptance testing
This means your project doesn’t need to move between multiple suppliers — everything can be handled in one place.
From Concept to Completion
Apollo Engineering is recognised as a turnkey manufacturing provider, delivering complete solutions across multiple industries.
From individual components to fully assembled systems, folding integrates into a broader workflow designed to deliver consistent, high-quality results.

Auto loading and unloading system
With the addition of two 12kW laser cutters equipped with advanced sheet automation, Apollo Engineering can now process materials faster than ever. The automated loading and unloading systems allow for continuous operation, leading to quicker turnaround times and a more cost-effective service. This cutting-edge technology enhances our ability to deliver high-quality results efficiently, giving us a significant edge in the industry.
Capable of folding complex components
Our workshop is equipped with three CNC press brakes capable of folding up to 4200mm with 220 tonnes of force, making them ideal for handling complex parts. These press brakes feature hydraulic clamped tooling and independent backstops, ensuring precision and efficiency.
We also maintain a large and continually expanding tooling library, enabling us to tackle a wide variety of profiles and geometries with speed and consistency. Programming through CADCAM further streamlines our operations.
This advanced folding capability complements our laser cutting service, allowing us to manage even the most challenging projects with ease.
One off projects to high volume production
Apollo provides fast and accurate advanced laser cutting, press cutting and folded parts for all your production needs. Whether you require small quantities of parts to be cut for one off projects or large quantities for high volume production requirements, Apollo can handle it!
Extensive tooling library
At Apollo Engineering, we pride ourselves on having an extensive tooling library that enables us to meet a wide range of customer requirements with precision and efficiency. Our in-house mechanical design and machining capabilities allow us to not only utilise our vast selection of tools but also to design and manufacture custom tools tailored to specific project needs. This flexibility ensures that we can handle complex and unique tasks while maintaining high standards of quality and accuracy, offering our clients a truly comprehensive solution for their manufacturing challenges.

Testimonial
Client Spotlight
Apollo really came through for me with the quality of their work. The laser cutting was incredibly accurate. When developing a new patent for Farm Fire Fighting Units I needed a company who has the capacity to provide high quality and highly accurate laser cutting and folding.
As this was a startup company all components were cost sensitive. Apollo more than exceeded my expectations in every aspect. With each component order Apollo showed repeatability in accuracy and quality.
As a Toolmaker, I’ve always pushed the limitations of what a company can achieve. When it came time to make a series of lamination dies, I could not believe just how accurately the laminations fitted into my press. The tolerances were tight- I mean really tight. Apollo’s laser cutters didn’t even blink!
Thanks to Apollo my product development cycle went smoothly and cost effectively.
Thanks Apollo.
