What is Sheet Metal Fabrication?
Sheet metal fabrication is a manufacturing process that involves cutting, forming, and assembling sheet metal parts into desired shapes and structures. This versatile process is used across a wide range of industries due to its ability to produce high-precision and durable parts. Manufacturers can transform flat sheets of metal into complex and useful parts through techniques such as cutting, bending, and welding. The sheet metal fabrication process offers many advantages, including high precision, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to customize designs for specific applications.
The core of sheet metal fabrication involves cutting, bending, and assembling into desired shapes. Flat blanks are transformed into a variety of final shapes through processes such as bending, cutting, and finally forming sheet metal parts. Depending on the complexity of the design and the production volume, a variety of methods can be used, from laser cutting and welding to CNC punching and coining. After the metal sheets are cut and formed into the desired shape, they are assembled and welded to form the final product. Sheet metal bending is a cost-effective process that can be used to deform sheet metal and highlight the features of the bending machine and specific die geometry.
Why Use Sheet Metal Fabrication?
Sheet metal fabrication provides a solution that lasts longer than other products with similar uses. For example, you may get a similar shape and function using casting. However, a cast doesn’t have the same durability and longevity you get with metal.
When you need precision, sheet metal fabrication allows you to cut, bend, and shape the metal the way you need it. Metal gives you a material that not only conforms to its new shape but holds it indefinitely.
In industries that need materials to survive impacts or harsh conditions, metal far outstrips plastics of any kind when it comes to strength. Fabricating sheet metal is also a faster and more cost-effective alternative to other methods of creating similar products.
Benefits of Custom Metal Fabrication
Unique requirements necessitate custom parts that fit and perform exactly as intended. Custom-fabricated and machined parts bring many benefits, including:
- Receiving exactly the parts you need, when you need them, at a competitive price
- Precisely cut, formed, welded, and machined on specialized, advanced machinery
- Inspection with instrumentation calibrated on a regular basis in order to provide consistent quality
- Fine craftsmanship, guided by highly qualified engineers, managers and operators
- Custom metal parts made from materials that comply with your every requirement
- Custom finishes to your exact specifications

Differences between CNC machining and sheet metal fabrication
Choosing between CNC machining and sheet metal fabrication depends on a variety of factors, including production volume, part complexity, budget, and delivery time. CNC machining particularly shines when high precision and complex geometry are required. This subtractive manufacturing process is able to produce parts with fine details, smooth surfaces, and tight tolerances. CNC machining can handle a variety of materials, including metals and plastics. While CNC machining offers excellent precision and flexibility, it is more expensive and slower to produce in large quantities than sheet metal fabrication.
On the other hand, sheet metal fabrication is very beneficial for the high-volume production of parts, especially those that require high strength and durability. The process is ideal for manufacturing large, sturdy parts. It offers excellent repeatability and high-quality surface finishes, and is able to reduce costs and increase time efficiency when producing in large quantities. However, sheet metal fabrication may not be as flexible as CNC machining for complex designs. Both methods have their advantages, and the decision should be based on the specific needs of the project.
