Sheet Metal Fabrication
Custom Fabrication Metal
Custom metal fabrication from CAD through machining to post-processing, using 4th-axis CNC machines for complex parts and holding tolerances down to 0.005 mm.
Product Overview
Custom metal fabrication from CAD through machining to post-processing, using 4th-axis CNC machines for complex parts and holding tolerances down to 0.005 mm. Materials include steel, aluminium, titanium and others, selected against the application rather than against shop convenience. Processes available include CNC machining, milling, turning, bending, laser cutting, stamping, welding, assembly, polishing, powder coating and injection moulding, under a zero-defect quality policy.
Key benefits
Why Buyers Choose This Specification
Tolerance Down to 0.005 mm
A stated tolerance figure is what separates a machining quotation from a hope. At 0.005 mm the shop is working in the range where fits and bearing seats can be held without hand finishing.
4th-Axis Machining for Complex Parts
A fourth axis lets features on several faces be cut in one setup. Every setup removed is an accumulation of position error removed with it.
CAD to Post-Processing Under One Roof
Modelling, machining and post-processing in one place means the part that is designed is the part that is measured, with no drawing translation between companies.
Zero-Defect Policy With Real Inspection
Quality control is applied rigorously rather than declared, which is the difference on parts where one bad piece stops an assembly line.
Application scenarios
Where It Is Used
- Complex machined parts requiring several faces in one setup
- CNC bent fabricated metal parts and brackets
- Assemblies combining machining, welding and coating
- Prototype parts modelled from a concept and machined directly
- Precision components in titanium and stainless steel
- Parts requiring polishing or powder coating after machining
Who it is for
The Buyers This Product Suits
Engineering Buyers With Tight Drawings
A 0.005 mm capability is what makes close-tolerance drawings quotable rather than returned for relaxation.
Companies Without a CAD Department
Services start at computer-aided design, so a concept can be modelled before anything is cut.
Buyers Consolidating Multi-Process Parts
Machining, welding, polishing and coating in one shop removes the hand-offs where parts get damaged and schedules slip.
Problems it solves
What It Fixes
Position Error From Multiple Setups
4th-axis machining cuts several faces in one setup, which is the direct fix for accumulated position error.
Drawings Nobody Will Quote to Tolerance
Tolerances to 0.005 mm are held, so close-fit features do not have to be redesigned around a supplier's limits.
Material Chosen for the Shop Not the Part
Steel, aluminium, titanium and other metals are all worked, so material selection follows the application requirement.

How It Ships And What Comes With It
Packing And Loading
Shipping volume for this item depends on the configuration and capacity you select, so no fixed container figure is published. Confirm the specification and the destination and a loading plan is issued with the quotation, rather than a figure we cannot support.

Sourcing And Inspection
This product is supplied through TrueGlow Imaging, working with manufacturing partners whose facilities are visited and verified rather than taken on trust. In-process quality control and delivery supervision are available so goods are inspected before the container is sealed. Certifications quoted on this page are those stated on the product specification and belong to that product range rather than to our trading entity, so ask for the certificate covering your specific item.
Handling guide
Getting It Right First Time
Step 1
Send a 3D model plus a dimensioned drawing showing which tolerances are critical.
Step 2
Mark only the features that genuinely need 0.005 mm, because tolerance drives cost faster than complexity does.
Step 3
State the material and any heat treatment or surface finish requirement.
Step 4
Ask for a first-article inspection report on new parts.
Step 5
Confirm the quantity, since setup on multi-axis work amortises quickly over a batch.
Comparison
How It Compares In Our Range
Why the fourth axis changes what the shop can quote.
| 4th-Axis CNC Machining | Complex parts with features on several faces cut in one setup, holding tolerances to 0.005 mm. |
|---|---|
| 3-Axis Machining | Adequate for prismatic parts, but multi-face geometry needs re-fixturing, which adds position error and handling time. |
