What is Sheet Metal Fabrication?How Does Sheet Metal Fabrication Work?
Sheet metal fabrication is a manufacturing process that transforms flat metal sheets into functional parts or structures through cutting, bending, forming, and assembly. Common materials include stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and galvanized steel, with thicknesses ranging from thin foils (0.1 mm) to heavy plates (6 mm+). This method is widely used to produce enclosures, brackets, chassis, and HVAC components for industries like automotive, aerospace, electronics, and construction.
Design & Prototyping:A CAD model defines part dimensions, bend radii, and tolerances.Prototyping (via laser cutting or CNC punching) validates the design before mass production.
Material Preparation:Sheets are cut to size using laser cutting, waterjet, or shearing machines for precision edges.
Forming Processes:Bending: Press brakes or folding machines create angles and flanges with CNC-controlled accuracy.
Stamping: Dies and punches shape features like ribs, louvers, or embossed logos.Rolling: Curved surfaces are formed by passing sheets through rollers.
Assembly:Parts are joined via welding (TIG, MIG), riveting, or adhesive bonding.Fasteners (screws, nuts) may be added for modular designs.
Finishing:Surface treatments like powder coating, anodizing, or electroplating enhance corrosion resistance and aesthetics.

Success Stories of Sheet Metal Fabrication Projects
FAQs
What are the two different ways of metal cutting?
Industrial metal cutting primarily employs two advanced systems: CNC laser cutters (thermal-based precision cutting) and waterjet cutters
(mechanical erosion process). Each technology offers unique advantages - lasers provide exceptional edge quality while waterjets enable cold-
cutting of sensitive materials.
What are the three cutting procedures?
Modern manufacturing utilizes three primary metal cutting techniques: laser cutting (thermal process), mechanical blade cutting (shearing force),
and abrasive waterjet cutting (erosion mechanism). These methods involve distinct physical interactions including localized melting, plastic
deformation, and particle erosion phenomena.
Which cutting method is better?
Plasma cutting offers superior efficiency and speed for most applications. However, laser cutting demonstrates faster processing speeds for materials
exceeding 0.25" (6.35mm) thickness, while plasma maintains a speed advantage over oxy-fuel cutting for materials under 2" (50mm).
