What Is Sheet Metal Fabrication?

Sheet metal fabrication is the process of forming a piece of metal into a desired shape through bending, stretching, and removal of material. At Elimold, we use press brake punches and die tooling to bend and stretch flat stock into its final geometry. The sheet metal prototyping process is most often used when form, fit, and function are all a priority. Engineers often choose sheet metal parts for their high precision and durability, especially for end-use applications like chassis, enclosures, and brackets.

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.

Learn More About Contract Maunfacturing

Contract manufacturing is the process of working with a third party manufacturer to produce products for your business. Whether it’s because you don’t want to buy all the necessary fabrication equipment yourself, or you don’t feel like staffing an entire fabrication crew, contract manufacturing could be the solution you need!

Elimold specializes in working with entrepreneurs as a contract manufacturer. All you need is a good idea — even a design scrawled on a restaurant napkin will do. Bring your idea into our shop and our expert engineers will help you turn your inspiration into a fully formed design and specification.
