Choose The Best Sheet Metal Fabrications
Sheet Cutting
Sheet cutting is a fast and precise way to cut flat materials into custom shapes using CNC laser or waterjet machines. It supports prototypes and mass production across metals, plastics, and composites. This process is also ideal for preparing blanks for sheet metal fabrication and metal stamping.
Metal Stamping
Metal stamping is a manufacturing process that uses dies and presses to shape sheet metal into precise, repeatable parts. It is widely used for high-volume production of brackets, housings, clips, and custom metal components. With processes like punching, bending, blanking, and deep drawing, metal stamping delivers tight tolerances, fast turnaround, and cost-efficient production for industries such as automotive, electronics, and appliances.
Metal Laser Engraving
Metal laser engraving is a precise, permanent marking process that uses a high-powered laser beam to etch designs, logos, serial numbers, or barcodes directly onto metal surfaces. This advanced laser marking technique works by removing material or altering the metal’s surface finish through controlled heat, creating high-contrast, durable marks.
Welding
Welding is a fabrication process that uses heat, pressure, or both to fuse two or more metal parts together. Unlike soldering or brazing, welding typically melts the base metal, creating a strong, permanent joint. It’s widely used across manufacturing, construction, automotive, and industrial production.
Rolling
Rolling is a sheet metal forming process that uses a 3-roll or 4-roll bending machine to curve flat sheet metal into cylinders, cones, or smooth arcs. The machine gradually bends the sheet by passing it back and forth between rotating rollers until the desired radius is reached.It is one of the most common methods for creating round or curved metal components.
Laser Tube Cutting/Bending
Laser tube cutting is a precision manufacturing process that uses a high-powered laser to cut, notch, slot, or profile round, square, rectangular, and custom-shaped metal tubes.
The laser melts or vaporizes the material, creating clean edges, tight tolerances, and complex geometries that traditional saws or mechanical cutting cannot achieve.Tube bending (or tube forming) is a cold-working process that bends metal tubes into curves, angles, and complex shapes without breaking or deforming the tube wall. It is typically done with a CNC tube bending machine using dies and mandrels.
