Me too, I still can't understand how is it made

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.
