Before a finished custom sheet metal work can be provided to the customer, there are numerous sheet metal fabrication techniques that must take place. Sheet metal fabrication comprises several processes and tools depending on the application it serves. Along with bending, punching, and forming, we carry out a variety of metalworking processes, such as deep drawing, laser cutting, waterjet cutting, and stamping, among others. Processes are used either alone or in combination to generate. All these processes and tools are utilized with a common goal of converting metal sheet into a workable item. These custom sheet metal fabrication types include the following:
This type of custom sheet metal work utilizes machines such as press brakes, folding machines and stamping units to form and bend a sheet of metal.
The following processes are used for high precision custom sheet metal fabrication blanking: laser cutting, turret press, and waterjet cutting.
Certain sheet metal fabrication projects requires assembly work through processes such as welding, riveting, hardware insertion and adhesive applications.
After the metal is formed through any of the above processes, a surface finish of powder coating, plating, or anodizing is applied to the material.
To give you more complete parts that are ready to use (or as close to it as possible) upon delivery, we can provide:
Machining, Powder coating, Plating, Anodizing.
Pad printing, Silk screening, Fastener insertion, Rounding of edges.
Tumbling and finishing, Countersinking, Riveting and more.
Sheet metal is made from a wide range of metals and metal alloys. We offer a full spectrum of custom fabrication capabilities for a wide range of sheet metals.Some of the most common metals used for fabrication include:
Aluminum, Aluminized metal, Copper, Stainless steel.
Carbon steel, Cold-rolled steel, High-strength steel.
Galvanized steel, Galvalume, Hot-rolled steel, Titanium.
There are many factors that influence sheet metal tolerance.Knowing the sheet metal tolerance is essential to create a high-quality prototype. You need an experienced sheet metal fabricator to do the job right.Sheet metal tolerance should not be tighter than necessary to make the part functional.Tight tolerance raise the cost of manufacturing significantly.Practical tolerances vary according to the design requirements.Tolerance of +/-.010 should be considered minimum.Linear tolerances should be held as loose as possible. Recommend+/-.020 for general,and tolerance functional areas are needed.
Sheet metal fabrication isn’t just about cutting and bending. In cases where multiple metal parts need to be joined, welding and riveting become important operations.
When dealing with tight tolerances and thin wall products, the heat produced by welding has a direct effect on metal quality.As a rule, heat should be minimized whenever possible.

Rivets are used to fasten two or more pieces of metal together and can be purchased in steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The advantages of riveting over welding include their ability to fasten dissimilar materials together or their ability to fasten areas that are not accessible to other processes.
Solid Rivets · Semi-Tubular Rivets · Blind Rivets
