Sheet metal fabrication is a manufacturing method that involves cutting and
bending sheets of metal to form different shapes.
Sheet metal
fabrication is more cost-effective than CNC machining when it comes to metal
components with uniform wall thickness.
Advantages of sheet metal fabrication
We have an excellent technical team, which can be designed according to customers requirements.

Description
Allowable sheet
thickness
Laser cutting
This
manufacturing process usesa high-power laser beam to
1-6mm
(depending on material)
cut a material sheet.
Bending
This
manufacturing process uses dies to produce a U-shape,
1-6mm (depending on material)
V- shape or channel shape along straight axis
in ductile materials.
Tolerances for sheet metal fabrication
Surface finishes are applied after machining and can change the appearance, surface roughness, hardness and chemical resistance of the produced parts.

Available surface finishes for sheet metal
The table below summarizes the standard tolerances of the parts produced by certified Hubs Manufacturing Partners.
Name
Description
Standard
This is our standard finish. Parts as delivered as cut
and bent, no additional treatment applied. Sharp edges are broken and deburred
for safe handling.
Bead blasted + Anodized type II
Parts are dipped in an anodizing bath (type II) after bead
blasting. Ideal for increasing the corrosion resistance of the part. Sharp edges are
broken and deburred for safe handling.
Powder coated
Powder coating layer is applied directly after
fabrication. Sharp edges are broken and deburred for safe handling.
