Sheet Metal Fabrication We Supply

Fabrication is the flexible end of sheet metal work. Nothing is committed to a tool, so a design can change between batches and quantities of a few are perfectly normal. Sheet is cut, folded, welded and finished into enclosures, guards, frames, panels and covers. The trade off is that every part carries its own labour, so the price does not fall away with volume the way a stamped part does. We quote from your flat pattern or 3D model and flag anything that will be awkward to fold or weld.

FAQ

Sheet Metal Fabrication Buying Questions

Can you work from a 3D model?

Yes. We develop the flat pattern and confirm the bend sequence with you before cutting.

Painting, plating and other finishes are possible. Tell us the environment and appearance requirement and we will set out the options.

What lead time should we expect?

It depends on part count and finishing and is confirmed with the quotation.

Is there a minimum order?

Fabrication suits low quantities. Any minimum for your part is confirmed with the quotation.

Can assemblies be delivered welded and finished?

Yes, complete assemblies can be supplied rather than loose parts.
