Flat-pattern review
Material thickness, bend relief, hole-to-bend distance and grain direction are considered.
Sheet Metal
Sheet Metal Fabrication
Drawing-based sheet metal parts and assemblies coordinated from cutting and forming through finishing.
- Laser-cut and formed parts
- Brackets, covers, panels and enclosures
- Hardware and assembly requirements reviewed
- Finishing coordinated to drawing needs
Capability overview
Built around your drawing and functional requirements.
For brackets, panels, covers and fabricated assemblies, requirements are reviewed around material thickness, bend geometry, hardware, welding, finish and inspection.
Project workflow
From requirements to controlled production.
Cutting & forming
Blank preparation and bend sequence are planned around geometry and cosmetic requirements.
Joining & hardware
Welding, fasteners and installed hardware are coordinated where the design requires them.
Finish & inspection
Finish callouts and dimensional checkpoints are reviewed before production.

Surface finishing
Plan the finish before final dimensions are released.
Anodizing, coating, plating, passivation and mechanical finishes can affect dimensions, masking, color and inspection. Compare the options before submitting your RFQ.
Compare surface finishesMolding & tooling
Compare tooling-dependent production routes.
Plastic injection molding, metal injection molding, export molds, metal stamping and die casting have different material, geometry, volume and ownership requirements.

Planning your next RFQ.
Project-specific capability depends on the drawing, material, quantity and inspection requirements.
Read the RFQ checklistWhat files are best for a sheet metal RFQ?+
Send the 3D model, 2D drawing and any flat pattern available, together with material, thickness, finish, hardware, welding and quantity requirements.
Can you coordinate installed hardware?+
Hardware requirements can be reviewed as part of the assembly scope when they are clearly defined on the drawing or bill of materials.
How should cosmetic surfaces be identified?+
Mark appearance-critical faces on the drawing and define any grain, finish, masking or handling requirements.
Can a fabricated part include machined features?+
Projects can be reviewed for coordinated machining, tapping or other secondary operations when required.
