Expanded sheet is made from a single sheet of metal that has been slit by a row of knives mounted on an industrial die cutting machine.
The knives move back and forth in a uniform pattern, slicing the sheet in alternating cuts, while the sheet moves through the machine.
can be flattened or raised, allowing for a variety of different designs and patterns. This lightweight, durable material is less expensive than sheet metal and can be made into a wide range of different shapes and sizes.
