Sheet metal manufacturing is a vital pillar of the global economy, providing critical components to industries such as aerospace, construction, electronics, and medical. This industry thrives on the ability to transform raw metal into precise, functional parts through a process known as sheet metal fabrication. For businesses, accessing this capability means partnering with a supplier that offers a comprehensive range of sheet metal fabrication services.

Compared to traditional sheet metal shops, we offer unlimited capacity and an easy-to-use online quoting system, ensuring on-time delivery every time, whether you need one part or 500. Sheet metal fabrication is the process of forming metal into the desired shape by bending, stretching, and removing material.
In our rapid prototyping process, presses, punches, and die tools are used to bend and stretch flat stock to its final geometry. Sheet metal prototyping is particularly popular when form, fit, and function are top priorities.
Typical sheet metal parts we manufacture include housings, brackets, subassemblies, weldments, cabinets, and various other components.
Sheet Metal Cutting Types
Sheet metal fabrication is the process of forming thin sheets of metal into parts. Your 3D CAD file is converted into machine code, which controls the machine to precisely cut and form the final component. Typical forming tools include brakes, punches, and dies, which enable corner bends and other features to be formed.
In sheet metal fabrication, installing inserts (such as PEM inserts) is standard practice alongside welding and finishing services. Sheet metal components are renowned for their durability, making them well-suited for end-use applications such as chassis. While initial setup and material costs are higher, sheet metal fabrication is often the most cost-effective option for both low-volume prototypes and high-volume production parts.
Our network of Manufacturing Partners gives you easy access to sheet metal fabrication capabilities to serve all your manufacturing needs.
