Trimming is performed by removing part of the product edge to reduce the sheet width according to the customer’s requirements. The use of this type of process in the design stage can be useful in defining specific parameters in certain processing steps, thus providing an operational advantage in the application of the finished product and/or component.

This process can add value to the product and improve its functional characteristics in terms of durability and safety, as well as improving scrap efficiency in subsequent processing steps. The result of the trimming process is product uniformity in line with standardised mass production. The correct implementation of trimming processes requires experience and absolute accuracy through specific information to avoid even the slightest deviation from the final result.
