Definition of Sheet Metal Fabrication

Sheet metal fabrication is the process of forming metal sheets to the desired shape using different manufacturing methods. The completion of a product usually comprises of many steps – from cutting and bending to surface treatment and assembling.

Often times a variety of fabrication techniques can be used to achieve a similar end-result. But a right choice still exists, depending on the costs and needs.

The process from sheet metal to metal product starts from tooling design and programming. After making the models, each part goes through the necessary sheet metal fabrication processes. The most common process esare cutting, bending/forming, welding, surface treatment, assembling followed by packing and delivery.
