Product Introduction
Sheet metal fabrication is a manufacturing process that transforms flat metal sheets into functional or structural parts through cutting, bending, forming, and assembling. Common materials include steel, aluminum, copper, and stainless steel, chosen for their strength, malleability, and cost-effectiveness.
Key techniques involve laser/plasma cutting for precise shapes, press braking to bend sheets into angles or curves, rolling for cylindrical forms, and welding or riveting for assembly. This process enables the creation of complex components with tight tolerances, suitable for diverse industries: automotive (body panels), aerospace (structural parts), electronics (enclosures), and construction (ductwork).
Known for efficiency in both low and high-volume production, sheet metal fabrication balances durability with design flexibility. It’s valued for turning raw metal into tailored parts, from simple brackets to intricate assemblies, making it a cornerstone of modern manufacturing.
