Sheet metal fabrication turns flat sheets of steel or aluminium into metal structures or products, using a variety of processes such asĀ  cutting, punching, folding and assembling. Sheet metal can be cut, bent or stretched into nearly any shape, which is generally done by cutting and burning the metal.

Special tools, such as band saws and chops saws, can also be used in the sheet metal fabrication process. These ensure even cutting throughout the process. Cutting torches are capable of cutting large sections of sheet metal with minimal effort.

Welding is one of the other main factors in sheet metal fabrication. Once all the components are formed, they are then assembled and tack welded into position. Many welding techniques can be used in sheet metal fabrication in order to prevent warping or any other abnormalities. These techniques include covering the metal with sand during the cooling process, special straightening process, welding in a staggered manner and using a stout fixture.

The metal can be finished by being sand blasted, primed and painted. This then ensures the metal looks fantastic and then is ready to be sent to you.
