What Is the Sheet Metal Fabrication?
Sheet metal fabrication is a subtractive manufacturing process that involves forming thin sheet metal into parts by cutting, bending, folding, stamping, and assembling. Sheet metal can be cut, bent, or stretched into almost any shape, usually by cutting and burning the metal. Sheet metal parts are often exact and durable, which makes them particularly popular with engineers for end-use applications such as housings, brackets, and chassis.
If you have a legitimate need for custom sheet metal fabrication or outsourcing sheet metal fabrication to a reliable supplier in China, NOBLE may be your first choice. You can contact our team of knowledgeable engineers and mechanics for a quick and cost-effective solution for any part.
How Does Sheet Metal Fabrication Work?
The sheet metal fabrication processes start with removing materials from thin sheet metal stock placed on a flatbed following programmed part patterns to form desired shapes by cutting tools. This operation can be finished with a variety of subtractive machining processes. A sheet metal punch, shear, laser, waterjet, or plasma can generate additional features such as internal holes and edge features according to the part geometry. The second stage is material deformation. After being cut, the parts reach the press brake, forming into the final geometries with the forming process such as bending. The last stage is to assemble pieces of sheet metal or fit them together with other components not made from sheet metal into a complete product. In many cases, surface finishing operations are needed to enhance mechanical properties.
