Common questions

What is sheet metal fabrication ?

The term “sheet metal” encompasses any type of metal that can be shaped into flat pieces, which can vary in thickness. Sheet metal fabrication comprises a series of processes employed to convert raw metal stock (or metal sheets) into a finished product. These processes encompass a spectrum of actions, from machining and cutting to bending and welding, all with the objective of producing metal sheets suitable for manufacturing a diverse array of products across various industries.

What are the Type of metal fabrication techniques?

Depending on the specific project requirements, each part may undergo one or several different processes to achieve the final product. Familiarize yourself with some of the common sheet metal fabrication techniques listed below:

Laser Cutting
Plasma Cutting
Bending
Riveting
Punching
Welding

What are the available types of sheet metal?

A wide range of alloys and metals are available in sheet form for use in manufacturing and fabrication. Here is a list of some of the most commonly used sheet metal materials and their characteristics:
