Sheet Metal Prototyping and Production Services

Our rapid sheet metal prototyping and production services include a variety of tooled and manual manufacturing techniques and processes enabling us to realise some highly complex parts without expensive and time-consuming production tooling. We can help you quickly and accurately make your enclosures, brackets, assemblies, weldments, cabinets, housings and other sheet metal parts and prototypes.

Why Use Sheet Metal

Sheet metal can be quickly cut into 2D profile shapes and formed out of a variety of high-strength materials, making it perfect for rapid tooling. Its per-unit pricing lowers significantly in production volumes. Combined with end-use materials and high throughput, sheet metal fabrication is a well-known production method.

 

Sheet Metal Fabrication is Used For
Rapid prototypes, low volume production, medical and communications products, housings and enclosures, everything from cars and space rockets and planes to air conditioners and soda cans.

 

Advantages of Sheet Metal Prototyping

Sheet Metal FAQs
  • What is sheet metal prototyping?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    Sheet metal is a common form of raw metal stock, usually 0.006 and 0.25 inches thick. Fabrication is a collection of processes used to shape raw metal stock into a usable product. Sheet metal prototyping includes many machining processes meant to assemble, cut, or form a sheet metal workpiece. After fabrication, a product often needs to undergo finishing processes. 
  • How does sheet metal fabrication work?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.

    There are 3 common stages in the sheet metal fabrication process, all of which can be completed with various types of fabrication tools. The stages are:

    1. material removal
    2. material deformation (forming)
    3. assembling
  • How much does it cost to fabricate sheet metal?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    Sheet metal prototyping and production solutions are a cost efficient and productive way to make metal parts.

    Typically, sheet metal fabrication services can cost anywhere from a hundred dollars up to ten thousands of dollars. The price depends on the raw material cost, part complexity, post processing work involved and cost of labor.
  • Which industries use sheet metal prototyping?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.

    Many industries are heavily reliant on sheet metal rapid prototyping solutions, including:

    • Aerospace
    • Automotive
    • Construction
    • Electronics
    • Farming
    • Transport
  • What thickness of metal is considered sheet metal?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    Any metal thinner than 6mm is considered sheet metal. Any metal thicker than 6mm is considered a metal plate.
