It's a big cutter coming down and cutting a steel plate into a mesh pattern, at the same time its bending and stretching the metal out to create gaps.

It doesn't cut them out, it stretches and pushes the metal to create the gaps. No metal is wasted.

You got down voted because you're response posted twice in error. It's actually nice and even, One was down voted by six points and the other one's been upvoted by six points.
