Sheet Metal FAQs
Sheet metal fabrication is the process of converting flat metal sheets into finished parts or assemblies using cutting, bending, welding, punching, and finishing operations.
Common materials include mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, galvanized steel, copper, and brass. Material selection depends on strength, corrosion resistance, weight, and cost requirements.
Industries include medical devices, semiconductor equipment, electronics, automotive, aerospace, energy, industrial automation, telecommunications, and construction.
Sheet metal parts typically range from 0.5 mm to 6 mm thick, though thicker materials can also be fabricated depending on the application and manufacturing process.
Cost depends on material type, thickness, part complexity, quantity, tolerances, finishing requirements, and lead time.
Most fabricators require 2D drawings (PDF/DWG) and 3D CAD files such as STEP, IGES, or SolidWorks files for accurate quoting.
Prototype parts can often be delivered within days, while production orders may take several weeks depending on complexity and volume.
