What is Sheet Metal Fabrication?

Sheet metal fabrication is the manufacturing process where flat, thin metal sheets of steel or aluminium are transformed into 3D parts and structures for use in a wide range of industries. This includes cutting, punching, bending and assembling sheet metal that is around 0.5mm to 6mm thick. For more information, read our expert guide on the sheet metal fabrication process.

From Prototype to Final Product

We’ve honed our metal fabrication prototype development to make sure our clients get exactly what’s needed. We can modify and adjust prototypes during the design process, before transferring them into bulk production.

Whether you’re looking for a one off run or continuous production, we can handle the entire metal fabrication process from design to finished product.

Cutting

In this stage, materials are accurately shaped using our advanced equipment and techniques, including precision cutting and punching, to ensure clean edges and precise dimensions.

Forming

The forming process shapes metal into the exact shapes and angles needed, using controlled force and specialised equipment. Learn more about our metal forming services for precise, repeatable component production.

Joining

With state-of-the-art equipment and 14 separate welding bays, we can securely assemble your components using methods such as welding and fastening. Our welding processes ensure strong, durable connections that meet structural and performance requirements.

Finishing

Final production includes surface treatment, assembly and inspection. Our metal finishing ensures components are fully complete, high-quality and ready for final delivery and installation.
