Sheet Metal Fabrication

Sheet metal fabrication is a subtractive process used to shape parts from thin metal sheets. It is widely chosen for its accuracy and strength, making it ideal for end-use components such as enclosures, chassis, and brackets. Online sheet metal fabrication services offer a fast and cost-effective way to produce parts directly from 3D CAD models or engineering drawings. A wide selection of materials is available, including aluminum, copper, steel, and stainless steel, along with additional services like welding, finishing, and PEM insert installation. With access to both domestic and international fabrication partners, these services can handle everything from low-volume, high-mix prototypes to large-scale production runs. Competitive pricing is available for prototypes and bulk orders, with tariffs and standard shipping typically included in the quoted cost.

What is Sheet Metal Forming?

Sheet stock is initially obtained in a flat form and then transformed into its final shape through multiple progressive steps. The process typically begins with cutting the sheet—using methods such as shearing, laser cutting, waterjet, plasma, or punch pressing—to create internal holes and define edge features. This initial stage is commonly referred to as blanking.

After the blank is created, the next step involves forming the sheet metal using various tools—most commonly a press brake. This equipment, whether manual or automated, uses die inserts to produce precise angular bends, transforming the flat sheet into a three-dimensional shape. The forming process allows bending in multiple directions, enabling the creation of anything from simple brackets to intricate geometries that may require custom dies.

How Sunrise Industries Sheet Metal Fabrication Works

Sheet metal fabrication is made easy with online instant quoting platforms. Simply upload your bent sheet metal design to get immediate pricing and lead time estimates for a wide range of part configurations—even those requiring tight tolerances up to ±0.005″, as well as options for inserts, welding, and various finishes. Once the order is placed, the platform leverages a broad manufacturing network to match the project with a suitable supplier. Your custom sheet metal parts are then produced and delivered within just a few days.

Available Sheet Metal Finishes

A variety of material finishes are available when requesting an instant online sheet metal quote. If the specific material and finish combination you need isn’t listed, simply select “Other” from the finish dropdown and proceed with your quote. Be sure to include all necessary details such as features, tolerances, inspection requirements, and quantities for a thorough expert review.

Applications and Advantages of Sheet Metal Fabrication

Rapid Tooling

Sheet metal can be rapidly cut into 2D profile shapes and formed using a range of high-strength materials, making it an excellent choice for creating quick-turn tooling. Ask ChatGPT

Rapid Prototyping

With lead times as short as 3 days, no minimum order requirements, and low per-unit costs, rapid sheet metal fabrication is an ideal solution for prototyping.

End-Use Production

Per-unit costs decrease substantially at production volumes. When paired with end-use materials and high throughput capabilities, sheet metal fabrication stands out as a reliable and widely used production method.
