What is Sheet Metal Fabrication?
Sheet Metal Fabrication is a manufacturing process where sheets of
metal (often steel or aluminium) are cut, folded and assembled into
functional parts. The cutting of the sheet metal is achieved
through the use of a laser cutting or punching process. Welding or
other joining methods can be used to join parts to create complex
assemblies.
Sheet metal machining is the process of bending, cutting, and/or
punching successful parts of sheet metal. The basic process can be
simplified into three main steps. First, a 3D model of the design
is created using CAD software.
Advantages of Sheet Metal Fabrication
The sheet metal fabrication process is ideal for metal components
and can support both prototyping and production quantities.
Sheet metal machining is the process of making metal parts and
assemblies by cutting, bending and shaping thin metal sheets. These
components are used in a wide variety of industries, including
construction, automotive, aerospace and manufacturing.
What are the different types of sheet metal fabrication?
Laser Cutting One of the key methods of cutting sheet metal is the use of laser
cutting machines. Laser cutting uses a high energy beam that
intensifies the burning/evaporating material through a lens or
mirror to form the cut. This is a very fast and precise method of
cutting sheet metal and reduces the chance of warping due to the
small heat-affected zone.

Punching Sheet metal punching uses a similar cutting mechanism to the
guillotine, however, it uses a formed metal tool (called a die) to
make the cut. The die is forced into the metal plate in a high
speed perforated plate. Standard shaped molds are usually used
(round, square, rectangular), however, custom molds can punch more
complex shapes. Due to the cost of making molds, this method is
more suitable for mass production.
|
Bending Bending is the basic manufacturing process for machining functional
parts from sheet metal. The metal plate is bent using a machine
called a stamping brake consisting of an upper tool (punch) and a
lower tool (V-mold). The material is placed between the tools and
the punch presses down into the V-mold to create a bend.
|
Assembling Cutting and bending are two ways of sheet metal forming, and
assembly is the third way. Assembling sheet metal parts can be done
using mechanical fasteners such as bolts, screws and rivets. Or
they can be joined by a method called welding, in which two or more
parts are fused together at high temperatures and then cooled to
form a connection.

Advantages of Sheet Metal Fabrication
- High durability, malleability, and pressures tolerance for
prototyping or end use
- Lower prices and shorter cycle time due to reduced tooling time and
setup costs
- Cost-effectively scale to low or high production quantities
- A wide variety of gauges available in laser cutting or bending
- Enhanced construction quality and low maintenance cost and
frequency
- Low material waste and sheet metal parts are recyclable
- Great tolerance to moisture, corrosion, and ultraviolet
- High machinability to easily machined into almost any expected
shape

FAQ
1. What are the tolerances for fabricated parts?
Sheet metal fabrication tolerances refer to the acceptable
deviations for features of sheet metal parts required for accurate
and consistent installation and integration.For sheet metal parts,
ISO 2768-mk is usually used to ensure proper control of the
elements of geometry and size.
The following will show you 7 tolerance standards range of linear
and angular dimensions, flatness & straightness, cylindricity, and
circularity.
2. How much does sheet metal fabrication cost?
Every aspect of a sheet metal fabrication project comes with an
associated cost — the design, possible prototype, finishing
processes, and others. Asides from the process itself, materials
also cost money.
3.Whatis the lead time for our project?
It need to based on your product's size and QTY/Structure.
