Decisions to make early
Material grade, sheet thickness and bend geometry influence how a part is made. Identify critical holes, mating surfaces, visible faces and any welding or finishing requirements.
ENGINEERING / 02
Sheet Metal Fabrication
From a flat sheet to a functional assembly.
Sheet metal parts need a coordinated approach to cutting, bending and joining. We work through the part geometry, material and assembly requirements for your application.

What to agree before work begins
Agree the drawing revision, material, quantities, finish and inspection points, including which dimensions apply before or after finishing.
BEFORE YOU ENQUIREQuestions,
Questions,
answered.
What information helps with a sheet metal enquiry?
Share a dimensioned drawing or CAD model, material grade, thickness and quantity. Mark critical fits and identify the required finish. If a flat pattern is available, include it with the formed-part drawing.
Should the surface finish be decided before fabrication?
Include it in the initial brief. Coating, masking, visible surfaces and assembly fits can affect hole sizes, joining and the sequence of operations.
A CLEAR START
What to share.
Drawings or CAD files, material and thickness, finish and quantities.
Technical scope, material suitability, tolerances, inspection criteria, pricing and timing are confirmed after reviewing your requirements.
A CONNECTED APPROACHThink beyond
Think beyond
one process.
Your project may need design, fabrication, finishing and assembly together. Include the complete requirement so each step can be considered in context.
