What is Sheet Metal Fabrication?

Sheet metal fabrication involves transforming flat steel or aluminum sheets into structures or products through precision cutting, punching, folding, and assembly. The metal can be shaped into virtually any form, primarily through cutting and thermal processes. Specialized tools like band saws and torches ensure precise cutting, while press brakes facilitate the creation of sharp bends and angles. Welding techniques such as staggered welding and fixture usage prevent distortions during assembly. Defects can be rectified using oxy-acetylene torches. The final product is sandblasted, primed, and painted to ensure optimal aesthetics before delivery to the client.Please contact us for project inquiries or further details.Get Instan Quote

Our Sheet Metal Fabrication Capabilities

The forming process bends or deforms the material into the required shape. This technique differs from cutting, which involves the removal of material, as forming manipulates the material's geometry without altering its mass.

Sheet Fabrication Design Guideline

FeatureDescription
Inner corner filletsDesign the inner corner rounding to be 0.020 " - 0.050" larger than the standard drilling diameter. Follow the ratio of drilling diameter to depth 1:6 (1:4 recommended) as a guideline for the radius of the inside corner radii.
UndercutsAlways design undercuts to standard sizes and away from corners to allow for cutting tools.
Tapped/threaded hole depthProvide tool clearance slightly beyond the depth of the tapped hole to ensure a complete thread.
General toleranceTolerances on metals wil be held to +/- 0.005*(+/- 0.127 mm) inaccordance with 1SO 2768 unless otherwise specified. Plasticsand composites will be +/- 0.010”.
ThreadingWe currently support UNC and UNF threads from #2 up to 0.5 in., and metric threads from M2 to M12. Avoid modeling internal threads on your part design.
ComplexityKeep the number of small cuts to a minimum to reduce CNC machining costs; only design in the necessary features to balance function with aesthetic.

How does LML’s custom CNC machining service work?

CNC Machining includes CNC turning and CNC milling, which is widely used in automotive, communication, medical, clocks and watches, cell phones, computers and other industries. Machining of mechanical parts generally refers to the sum of the machining process of parts and the assembly process of machines, and other processes are called auxiliary processes, such as transportation, storage, power supply, equipment maintenance, etc.

CNC machines manufacture robust parts with tight tolerances and a range of impressive material properties (mechanical and chemical). Our custom CNC machining service is ideal for one-off jobs and low-to-medium volume production, thanks to automation and high repeatability.

One-stop service with abundant factories in one network

LML takes pride in its extensive network of cooperative investment factories. These partnerships encompass various sectors, such as CNC processing, sheet metal processing, die-casting, screws, silver contacts, and more.
