How Does Sheet Metal Fabrication Work?
Material Cutting
The process begins with precision laser cutting, where metal sheets are cut according to CAD files to create the initial shape of each part.
Punching
Punching is used to create holes, slots, and custom features with high accuracy and excellent repeatability before forming operations begin.
Forming & Bending
The cut parts are formed using CNC press brakes to produce accurate bends and complex geometries while maintaining tight dimensional tolerances.
Finishing & Assembly
Secondary operations such as welding, riveting, grinding, powder coating, plating, and painting complete the manufacturing process, ensuring the required appearance, durability, and functionality.

Our Sheet Metal Material Options
Aluminum 5052-H32
Aluminum 5052 is a widely used alloy across common part applications made from sheet metal. This popular choice provides superior corrosion resistance, making it ideal for parts exposed to harsh environments. 5052 has a high modulus of elasticity, lending it to formability and weldability, allowing for unique shapes to be created out of the flat sheet. This material is versatile due to high strength, its lightweight nature, and aesthetic characteristics.
Brass C260
Brass C260 is primarily composed of copper and zinc, giving it the golden-yellow color for which it is known. Mechanically, Brass has corrosion-resistant and formable qualities similar to Aluminum 5052. Brass is heavier than aluminum, making it well suited for aesthetic or decorative applications.
Low Carbon Steel CR 1008
Low Carbon Steel 1008 is a mainstay material option in sheet metal fabrication. Containing less than .30% carbon, 1008 is formable, not prone to cracking, and its minimal carbon content provides weldability without the brittleness of a high carbon option. 1008 comes uncoated from the mill and is susceptible to corrosion, however it readily accepts coatings and finishings (such as zinc or powder coat) for protection.
Our Sheet Metal Finishing Options
Powder Coating
Powder coating applies a durable dry powder to sheet metal parts before curing them in an oven to form a hard, wear-resistant finish. It enhances corrosion resistance, durability, and appearance while offering a wide range of color options.
Common Surface Finishing Options
Surface finishing processes improve corrosion resistance, wear resistance, conductivity, and appearance while providing a durable, consistent finish for sheet metal components.
