Metal Fabrication

How Sheet Metal Fabrication Works

Sheet metal fabrication is a subtractive manufacturing process that creates parts from thin metal sheets. Our collaborative approach combines manual and automated processes to turn sheet stock materials into cuts, bends, and formed parts or assemblies, directly from your CAD file.

Materials include aluminum, stainless steel, cold-rolled steel and beryllium copper. Each metal or alloy is selected based on mechanical properties, aesthetics, and performance characteristics based on part or component specifications.

Here's how our sheet metal fabrication solutions can help you:

Choose materials for desired properties: aesthetics, corrosion resistance, higher strength-to-weight ratio, etc.
Remove the need for tooling with more automated prototype-to-production sheet metal fabrication solutions.
Save production costs by eliminating potential design errors that can negatively impact part maneuverability.
Increase accuracy for rapid prototypes in quantities as low as one, or for higher-volume production.

Cutting

Laser, plasma, waterjet, shearing, and sawing…we combine traditional and advanced cutting methods for just about any kind of metal or alloy with a wide variety of sheet stock sizes, tolerances, thickness to ensure your design integrity.

Stamping

From bending and punching to progressive die-stamping, we can ensure every one of your parts meets your performance expectations — even for complex designs for mass production.

Welding

MIG, TIG, robotic… we offer a wide range of welding processes, materials, and finishes based on your specific application, including any post processing required for your technical specifications.

Value-Add Hardware

We have more hardware options to alleviate your supply chain headaches, including standos, threaded inserts, threaded nuts, captive screws, pins, and more based on your supply chain requirements.

Finishing

Powder coating, buff polishing, sand blasting, brushing plating, and a wide selection of finishing levels available for all processes to produce targets ranging from unfinished to photo-realistic results.
