What Is Sheet Metal Fabrication?

Sheet metal fabrication is a subtractive process that forms precise, durable, and versatile parts from thin metal sheets, making them ideal for robust components across industries. Engineers favor sheet metal parts for their high dimensional accuracy, material strength, ability to produce lightweight structures, cost-effectiveness in high volumes, and customization possibilities.

Types of Sheet Metal Fabrication

  • Cutting: Various methods are used to cut sheet metal, including shearing, punching, laser cutting, plasma cutting, and waterjet cutting.
  • Bending: Sheet metal can be bent into desired shapes using press brakes, folding machines, or roll forming equipment.
  • Stamping: This process involves using dies and presses to shape sheet metal into specific forms, often for high-volume production.
  • Punching: Holes, slots, or other cutouts are created in sheet metal using a punch and die set.
  • Welding: Different welding techniques, such as MIG, TIG, and spot welding, are used to join sheet metal parts together.
  • Assembling: Sheet metal components are assembled using techniques like riveting, fastening, crimping, or adhesive bonding.
  • Finishing: This involves processes that improve the appearance, durability, or functionality of the fabricated sheet metal, such as powder coating, painting, plating, or anodizing.
  • Hydroforming: This process uses high-pressure fluid to shape sheet metal into complex forms, often for automotive or aerospace applications.
  • Spinning: A sheet metal disc is rotated at high speeds and formed into axially symmetric parts using tools and rollers.
  • Extrusion: Sheet metal is forced through a die to create profiles with a consistent cross-section, such as channels or tubes.

UTM is an extremely professional company with great customer service. Everything we ordered arrived as expected. There were some initial problems, but Kobe helped find a solution that worked for both sides. We will definitely use them again.

Urban

For my last order, the customer support was amazing. Kobe helped me solve a logistics issue and the algo parts were excellent quality as expected. I'm super happy with the support and service. For my next order, I'll be increasing the number of parts since I know the quality and service will be great.

Andres C

I ordered 50 CNC machined stainless steel parts and they turned out great. The dimensions were right on and the parts were clean and smooth. I'll definitely order from them again.
