Sheet Metal Fabrication

Laser cutting, bending, welding and assembly for enclosures, brackets, panels and frames in prototype and batch quantities.

Cutting

Fibre laser cutting of steel, stainless steel and aluminium

Forming

Press brake bending up to 6 mm

Joining

MIG / TIG welding, riveting, hardware insertion

Finishing

Powder coating, painting, plating, brushing

Sheet metal parts are quoted as a process chain: cut, form, join, finish and assemble. Keeping the whole chain with one supplier means bend allowances, weld dressing and coating coverage are decided once, not renegotiated between vendors.

What we fabricate

Enclosures and chassis, rack and DIN panels, mounting brackets, motor and pump supports, covers and guards, frames and weldments, and laser-cut prototype panels for fit checks.

Design detail that keeps cost down

  • Keep hole diameters at least the sheet thickness, and place holes at least 1.5× thickness from a bend line.
  • Use standard bend radii and avoid bends that need custom tooling where the geometry allows it.
  • Group the same thickness and material across the assembly so nesting and setup stay efficient.
  • Tell us which surfaces are visible — it changes masking, weld dressing and packing.

Processes in this capability

Laser Cutting

Laser Cutting

Fibre laser cutting for steel, stainless steel and aluminium sheet — clean edges, tight nesting and fast turnaround for prototypes and batch parts.

Sheet Metal Bending

Sheet Metal Bending

Press brake bending with matched tooling for enclosures, brackets, chassis and panels, holding angles and bend positions to drawing.

Sheet Metal Welding

Sheet Metal Welding

MIG and TIG welding for frames, brackets and enclosures, with weld dressing and distortion control on visible and load-bearing joints.

Sheet Metal Assembly

Sheet Metal Assembly

Hardware insertion, riveting, bonding and light mechanical assembly so fabricated parts arrive as kits that are ready to install.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you fabricate from a 3D model instead of a drawing?

Yes. A sheet metal part should be supplied as a flat-pattern-aware STEP file or as individual DXF faces, together with the material and thickness. We will confirm bend radii and K-factor before cutting.

How do you protect the appearance of visible sheet metal parts?

Laser-cut edges, weld dressing and the specified finish are agreed up front. Visible surfaces can be masked during processing and parts are packed with interleaving to avoid scuffing.

Do you assemble sheet metal parts with hardware?

Yes. Pressed-in nuts, studs, standoffs, rivnuts and PEM-style hardware can be inserted, and parts can be supplied as assembled kits ready for your line.
