Master Press Brake Techniques from Anywhere

With all the lockdowns, quarantines, and isolation that have taken place over the past year, virtual learning has exploded on the scene everywhere. The convenience of it is perhaps the silver lining in the era of COVID-19.

The accessibility virtual learning allows rings especially true for one of FMA’s most popular training offerings, the Precision Press Brake Certificate Course. Uncover the secrets to precision sheet metal bending by inviting press brake guru Steve Benson “into” your workspace.

Before the pandemic, Benson would travel all over the U.S. and overseas to teach operators and engineers how to efficiently design for precision sheet metal fabrication. Now, you can gain those same sought-after insights without even getting in your car, or *gasp* getting on a plane.

The course includes nine hours of live-streamed instruction, resource materials, and on-demand videos to enhance the learning experience. Through interactive instruction and sample work problems, Benson will take an in-depth exploration into bend functions, tooling selection, and math fundamentals. You’ll also get a free copy of FMA’s Bending Basics ($95 value) when you register for the course. FMA members can register for free.

It’s never been easier to improve your design, communication, and execution of press brake configurations. And at the end of the course, you can earn an industry-recognized certificate to add to your resume and brag about to your press brake buddies.

If you’d like to learn more from Benson, check out the Bending Basics column that he writes for The FABRICATOR^® magazine.
