A considered fabrication route

Custom Sheet Metal Fabrication Overview

Custom sheet metal fabrication combines cutting, forming, joining, hardware installation and finishing in one controlled part or assembly scope. We review the drawing, flat-pattern assumptions, material, thickness, bend requirements, joining method, appearance and inspection needs before proposing the fabrication route.

From flat pattern to finished assembly

Sheet Metal Fabrication Capabilities

  1. 01

    Cut

    Laser cutting, punching and perforation planned around the outline, apertures and feature pattern.

  2. 02

    Form

    Bending and rolling considered with the part geometry, material and downstream fit in view.

  3. 03

    Join

    TIG, MIG and spot welding, riveting and PEM hardware installation where the assembly requires them.

  4. 04

    Finish

    Surface and cosmetic requirements clarified before the fabrication route is released.

More than cut and bend

Design Review for Sheet Metal Parts

The design review should identify features that affect cutting, bend sequence, tool access, joining, distortion, hardware installation, appearance and downstream assembly. Critical interfaces and cosmetic surfaces should be marked before the fabrication scope is released.

Form and geometry

Material and thickness, bend radii and bend direction, reliefs, hems and formed features are reviewed with the intended fit in mind.

Joining and hardware

Weld access, distortion risk, hardware type and installation side are considered where they are part of the agreed build scope.

Design readiness

Models, drawings, mating interfaces, cosmetic surfaces, coating allowances and the current revision give the review a clear starting point.

Materials and finish

Materials and Thicknesses

Common fabrication materials

Aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel, copper and brass can be reviewed against strength, environment, appearance and joining needs.

Surface Finishes

Anodizing, bead blasting, powder coating, plating, brushing, polishing, screen printing and laser marking can be included where required.

Inspection and Quality Documentation

Inspection and documentation are matched to the features that matter to the project—whether that is fit, appearance, assembly, critical dimensions or material verification.

  • First article review where required
  • Full or sampled inspection matched to the order
  • Dimensional reports for agreed critical features
  • Material certificates where required
  • Simple assembly and hardware installation in scope
