What is Sheet Metal Fabrication?
Sheet metal fabrication is a manufacturing process that transforms flat sheets of metal into a variety of shapes and products through cutting, bending, and assembling techniques. This versatile process can produce everything from simple components to complex assemblies, making it integral to industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, and construction. The fabrication process typically involves precision cutting (using tools like lasers or water jets), bending (with presses and dies), and assembling (via welding, riveting, or adhesive bonding) to achieve the desired specifications and functionalities of the final product.
