Sheet metal fabrication is a precise manufacturing process used to create custom metal parts and components.
In sheet metal fabrication, flat metal sheets are shaped, cut, and assembled using specialized tools and techniques such as cutting, bending, forming, and welding. The process starts with a design, typically created using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software, which guides the equipment to perform the necessary operations to achieve the desired geometry and features.
Known for its versatility and efficiency, sheet metal fabrication is widely used in industries like automotive, aerospace, construction, and electronics to produce durable, lightweight, and cost-effective parts.
In which the sheet metal is cut in various ways
In which the sheet metal is bent or formed
In which the sheet metal is joined to other components
Material removal in sheet metal fabrication involves cutting, shaping, and refining flat metal sheets to create precise components. Unlike bulk machining, the focus is on removing material in a way that preserves the integrity of the sheet while achieving the desired shape or design.
A high-powered laser beam melts or vaporizes material, offering exceptional precision for intricate designs and smooth edges.
High-pressure water mixed with abrasives removes material without generating heat, preventing distortion in heat-sensitive metals.
Ionized gas is used to cut through thicker metal sheets quickly and efficiently.
Material deformation in sheet metal fabrication refers to the process of reshaping metal sheets without removing material, by applying mechanical forces. This technique is crucial for creating components with specific geometries, such as bends, curves, or drawn shapes, while maintaining the material’s structural integrity.
Involves applying force to a sheet metal piece to form angles or curves using press brakes or bending machines.
Uses dies and punches to imprint shapes, textures, or patterns onto the sheet.
A rotational process to create axisymmetric parts by deforming a sheet against a mandrel.
Material assembly in sheet metal fabrication involves joining individual sheet metal components to create complete structures or products. This process is critical for forming functional assemblies in industries like automotive, aerospace, construction, and electronics.
Joins metal parts by melting their edges and fusing them with or without filler material.
Methods include MIG, TIG, and spot welding.
Ideal for creating strong, permanent bonds.
Mechanically locks two sheet metal layers by deforming them together without additional fasteners.
At LangHe, we use a variety of metals to produce components to your exact specifications. Some sheet metal material options include:
Sheet metal fabrication offers numerous benefits, making it a preferred manufacturing method for a wide range of industries. Here are some key advantages:
Sheet metal can be quickly cut into 2D profile shapes and formed out of a variety of high-strength materials, making it perfect for rapid tooling.
With lead times starting at 3 days, no minimum order volumes, and low-per-unit costs, rapid sheet metal is a great option for prototyping.
Per-unit pricing lowers significantly in production volumes. Combined with end-use materials and high throughput, sheet metal fabrication is a well-known production method.
