Custom Metal Stamping Laser Cutting Part Sheet Metal Fabrication Service
What is sheet metal processing?
Sheet metal fabrication is a subtractive manufacturing process in which parts are formed from thin sheet metal. Engineers often choose sheet metal parts because of their high precision and durability, especially for end-use applications such as chassis, housings, and brackets.
Efficient and high-precision sheet metal machining, coupled with JYH's wide range of materials, a range of sheet metal machining and post-processing options, means you can get parts for any application. Sheet metal applications include aerospace, defense, automotive, energy, industrial, medical, consumer goods.
What is metal stamping?
| What is laser cutting?
|
From a high level perspective, metal stamping involves creating a mold that acts as a kind of mold for the part you wish to create. The die is then pressed into malleable metal with enough force to make its shape conform to the shape of the die, thus forming the part. Laser cutting, on the other hand, involves using powerful and very precise lasers to cut different metals into the desired shape.
| Laser cutting can be set up digitally, allowing production to begin immediately. The complexity of the part is also often a factor in whether you choose laser cutting or stamping production. If the part has a complex geometry, then the laser may be more suitable, and the laser cutting machine can cut out many complex geometries with different dimensional characteristics on the same part. It can also nest parts of many different shapes and sizes on the same piece of material, which is ideal for clusters of parts used together in welding or assembly.

Advantages of Sheet Metal Fabrication
The sheet metal fabrication process is ideal for metal components and can support both prototyping and production quantities.
Low material waste
Can cost-effectively scale to production volumes
Multiple finishing options like anodizing and powder coating
Sheet metal has some precautions to pay attention to:
Material limitations: Although sheet metal is versatile, depending on the application and desired material properties, sheet metal may not be suitable. Some parts or applications may require more plastic or elastic materials.
Thickness limits: Depending on the method, the thickness of the sheet metal may be limited while maintaining structural integrity. There are also only so many standard thicknesses available - customers may have to adjust the design to standard gauges when designing sheet metal fabrication components.
Finishing requirements: Some sheet metal products may require additional post-treatment or finishing to improve their aesthetics or resist external factors.
Geometric limitations: Metals can only be folded a certain number of times or stretched to a certain depth, or cut to a certain thickness, before deformation, cracking, or other damage occurs. Depending on the shape, additional processes such as die casting, forging or injection may be required.

FAQ
1. What are the tolerances for fabricated parts?
Sheet metal fabrication tolerances refer to the acceptable deviations for features of sheet metal parts required for accurate and consistent installation and integration.For sheet metal parts, ISO 2768-mk is usually used to ensure proper control of the elements of geometry and size.
The following will show you 7 tolerance standards range of linear and angular dimensions, flatness & straightness, cylindricity, and circularity.
2. How much does sheet metal fabrication cost?
Every aspect of a sheet metal fabrication project comes with an associated cost — the design, possible prototype, finishing processes, and others. Asides from the process itself, materials also cost money.
3.Whatis the lead time for our project?
It need to based on your product's size and QTY/Structure.
