Sheet MetalFabrication Redefined
From laser-cut flat patterns to fully formed, welded, and finished assemblies — delivered in 7–14 business days with ±0.005" cutting tolerance.
End-to-End Sheet Metal Fabrication
Laser cutting, CNC bending, welding, hardware insertion, and finishing — all managed under one roof for quality and speed.
High-Precision Cutting
Fiber laser cutting to ±0.005" on sheets up to 48" × 120". Clean edges, minimal HAZ, and burr-free finishes on aluminum, stainless, and carbon steel.
Complex Forming
CNC press brake bending up to 12 ft with air bending and bottoming. Multi-bend assemblies, tight radii, and repeatable angles across production runs.
Full Finishing Suite
Powder coating (any RAL color), anodizing (Type II & III), plating (zinc, nickel, chrome), passivation, brushing, and bead blasting — all coordinated in one order.
Our Process
Choose Your Process
Every sheet metal job combines one or more of these processes. We handle the full workflow so you get finished parts, not half-done blanks.
Laser Cutting
Best For
- Complex 2D profiles and cutouts
- Prototypes through high-volume blanks
- Thin-gauge decorative panels
Press Brake Forming
Best For
- Enclosures, chassis, and U-channels
- Multi-bend structural brackets
- Production runs requiring repeatable angles
Welding & Assembly
Best For
- Weldments and multi-part assemblies
- Structural frames and mounting plates
- Cosmetic weld-and-grind finishes

Stock Materials
We keep common gauges in stock for faster turnaround. Custom alloys and tempers available on request.
Aluminum Alloys
Excellent formability and corrosion resistance. The most common sheet metal aluminum.
Higher strength, good weldability. Ideal for structural brackets and frames.
Cost-effective general purpose. Great for non-structural enclosures and shields.
Steel Alloys
The workhorse — excellent corrosion resistance for food, medical, and outdoor use.
Superior chemical resistance. Required for marine, chemical, and pharmaceutical.
Low-cost structural steel. Ideal for welded frames, bases, and mounting plates.
Cold-rolled, smooth finish. Good for enclosures that will be powder coated.
Zinc-coated for corrosion protection without additional finishing.
Specialty Metals
High electrical and thermal conductivity. Used for bus bars, heat sinks, and RF shields.
Corrosion-resistant with an attractive finish. Common for decorative panels and connectors.

Sheet Metal DFM Tips
Follow these rules to reduce cost, shorten lead time, and improve part quality. Our engineers review every order for DFM — but designing it right upfront saves everyone time.
Minimum Bend Radius
Going below the minimum radius causes cracking on the outside of the bend, especially in work-hardened alloys like 5052-H32.
Minimum Flange Length
Short flanges slip off the press brake die and produce inconsistent angles. A longer flange gives the tooling enough material to grip.
Hole-to-Edge Spacing
Holes too close to an edge will deform during bending or shearing, causing bulging and dimensional loss.
Hole-to-Bend Spacing
The material in the bend zone stretches. Holes placed inside this zone will warp into ovals and lose concentricity.
Relief Cuts
Without relief cuts, the material tears or buckles at the intersection. A small notch lets the bend form cleanly.
K-Factor & Bend Deduction
The K-factor determines how much material is consumed by each bend. Getting it right means your flat pattern unfolds to the correct 3D shape.
Sheet Metal FAQ
Common questions about our sheet metal fabrication services
What tolerances can you hold for sheet metal parts?
For flat/laser-cut dimensions we hold ±0.005". Single-bend dimensions are ±0.010", and multi-bend dimensions are ±0.030". Bend-to-hole/feature tolerance is ±0.010", angularity is ±1°, and insert diameters are +0.003"/-0.000".
What materials do you offer for sheet metal fabrication?
We stock aluminum (5052-H32, 6061-T6, 3003-H14), stainless steel (304, 316L), carbon steel (A36, 1008/1010), galvanized steel (G90), copper (C110), and brass (C260). Thickness ranges from 0.020" to 0.250" depending on the alloy.
Is there a minimum order quantity?
No — we accept orders starting at 1 piece. Whether you need a single prototype enclosure or a 1,000-unit production run, we quote every job individually based on complexity, material, and finishing requirements.
What file formats do you accept?
We accept STEP (.stp/.step), SolidWorks (.sldprt), IGES (.igs), DXF, and DWG files. For flat patterns, DXF is preferred. For formed parts, a 3D STEP file with bend lines noted is ideal. Include an engineering drawing (PDF) for critical tolerances and finish callouts.
What is the typical turnaround time?
Standard lead time is 7–14 business days from order confirmation, which includes laser cutting, forming, hardware insertion, and any finishing. Rush orders (5–7 business days) are available with a surcharge — contact us for availability.
What finishing options are available?
We offer powder coating (any RAL color), anodizing (Type II and Type III / hardcoat), plating (zinc, nickel, chrome), passivation (for stainless steel), brushing, bead blasting, and silk-screening. Parts can also be shipped raw or with a conversion coating (chromate / alodine) for paint prep.
