How does sheet metal fabrication work?
Sheet metal fabrication involves several different methods for
shaping sheet metal, but they can generally be divided into two
categories: cutting and forming.
Because of the various cutting and forming methods involved,
specialized tools are required, which can increase costs.
Therefore, understanding the various available sheet metal
fabrication processes is crucial to producing the most efficient
design for a specific application.
In its basic form, sheet metal fabrication typically begins with a
flat sheet of metal and a blueprint, typically a DXF or CAD file.
These blueprints provide detailed instructions for cutting,
forming, and finishing the base material.
Sheet metal fabrication can be as simple as bending metal into
angle iron or creating computer case panels by laser cutting and
bending edges. The entire process typically includes the following
steps:
Cutting: The material is initially cut according to the blueprint.
Forming: The cut material is then bent or formed.
Finishing and Joining: Upon completion, the material is finished
and joined to form the final product.
This combination of processes ensures efficient and accurate sheet
metal fabrication.
What is precision sheet metal fabrication?
Precision sheet metal fabrication utilizes the same techniques as
"non-precision" methods in sheet metal fabrication, but with
tighter tolerances. This typically requires the design engineer to
invest more time analyzing and considering material properties,
stretch calculations, grain orientation, and other in-depth factors
to ensure the desired accuracy is achieved.
Aerospace
Aerospace engineers use sheet metal to create a variety of
lightweight and space-ready components. The materials they design
for aircraft and spacecraft include aluminum and steel, as well as
less common sheet metals like titanium and tungsten. Sheet metal's
ability to create large, smooth contours makes it ideal for
airfoils and other aerodynamic applications.
