Small Batch Sheet Metal Fabrication
Custom sheet metal parts in prototype and small-batch quantities — laser cut, CNC bent, welded and finished to your drawing. Ideal for brackets, enclosures, panels, chassis and covers.

Laser cutting and CNC press-brake bending need no dedicated dies, which makes them ideal for small batch sheet metal fabrication. You can order 5 enclosures for testing, then 200 for a pilot run, without paying for stamping tools.
When volumes grow, our engineers can advise when it becomes worth moving selected parts to stamping.
Typical sheet metal parts
- Electrical enclosures and control boxes
- L-brackets, U-brackets and mounting plates
- Equipment panels, covers and guards
- Server, instrument and device chassis
- Welded frames and small assemblies
Sheet Metal Fabrication Capabilities
Laser Cutting
Precise profiles, holes and slots in steel, stainless steel and aluminum sheet.
CNC Bending
Press-brake forming for boxes, brackets and multi-bend parts.
Welding
Spot, TIG and MIG welding with grinding and finishing of welds.
Hardware & Assembly
PEM nuts, studs and standoffs, tapping, riveting and sub-assembly.
Sheet Metal Materials and Finishes
| Material | Notes |
|---|---|
| Cold rolled steel (SPCC) | Economical, usually powder coated or plated |
| Galvanized steel (SGCC) | Corrosion resistant for indoor equipment |
| Stainless steel 304 / 316 | Brushed, polished or passivated |
| Aluminum 5052 / 6061 | Lightweight, anodized or powder coated |
| Copper / brass | Electrical and decorative parts |
Finishes: powder coating, painting, zinc plating, anodizing, brushing, sandblasting, silk-screen printing and laser marking.
Design Tips for Low-Cost Sheet Metal Parts
- Use one material thickness per part where possible
- Keep a consistent inside bend radius
- Keep holes away from bend lines (at least 2× thickness)
- Use self-clinching hardware instead of welded nuts
- Send a flat pattern (DXF) if you have one — it speeds quoting

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum quantity for sheet metal parts?
We accept prototype quantities from 1 piece. Because laser cutting and bending need no dedicated dies, small batches stay economical.
Which files do you need for sheet metal quotes?
A 3D model (STEP) is preferred. A DXF flat pattern and a PDF drawing with bend and hardware information help speed up quoting.
Can you powder coat sheet metal parts?
Yes. We offer powder coating in common RAL colors, plus plating, anodizing (aluminum) and brushing.
Can you assemble sheet metal with machined parts?
Yes. We can combine sheet metal, CNC machined parts and hardware into a sub-assembly.
