The role of the sheet metal fabricator, the process of cutting sheet metal, and the applications of sheet metal fabrication in fields such as construction, automotive, aerospace, and electronics.

Sheet Metal Fabrication and Hongsinn

Sheet metal fabrication is a subtractive manufacturing process that creates parts from thin metal sheets. Engineers often choose sheet metal parts for their high precision and durability, particularly for end-use applications such as chassis, housings, and brackets. Hongsinn offers specialized sheet metal fabrication services in this area, ensuring that we meet our customers' needs and quality standards.

Hongsinn offers fast and cost-effective online sheet metal fabrication services specifically designed for parts produced from 3D CAD files or engineering drawings. We offer a wide range of sheet metal materials, including aluminum, copper, steel, and stainless steel, along with assembly options such as PEM inserts, welding, and finishing services.

Whether it's low-volume, high-mix prototypes, or large-scale production, Hongsinn can meet our customers' needs. We offer competitive custom sheet metal fabrication pricing for low-volume prototypes and cost savings for high-volume production. Choosing Hongsinn means you'll receive high-quality sheet metal parts and exceptional service.

What is sheet metal forming?

Sheet metal forming is a manufacturing process that transforms a flat sheet of metal into its final shape through a series of progressive steps. For a typical sheet metal project, the first step is usually to cut the sheet metal, a process called blanking. Tools such as shears, lasers, water jets, plasma, or punches are used to create the part's internal holes and edge features.

After the blank is produced, the next step is to shape the sheet metal using a variety of tools, the most common of which is a press. Presses can be manual or automated, using die inserts to create the desired bend angles, transforming a two-dimensional sheet into a three-dimensional object.

Sheet metal forming can bend parts in multiple directions, creating simple components like brackets, or it can create highly complex geometries, which may require custom die tooling. Once the die tooling is in place, subsequent sheet metal part production is very cost-effective, making sheet metal fabrication and forming an ideal choice for low- to high-volume production.

Hongsinn Sheet Metal Fabrication Principles

Hongsinn makes sheet metal fabrication simple and efficient. Simply upload your bent sheet metal design to Hongsinn's quoting system to begin the process. We'll calculate pricing and lead times for a virtually unlimited number of part configurations, including those requiring tight tolerances (±0.005"), inserts, welding, and finishing.

Once you place your order, we'll manufacture it in our workshop. Your custom sheet metal part will be delivered to your doorstep in just a few days. This fast and convenient service ensures you receive high-quality sheet metal products with ease.

Hongsinn offers efficient and high-precision sheet metal fabrication, combining a wide range of materials with extensive sheet metal fabrication and post-processing options to create parts suitable for a wide range of applications. We regularly serve a wide range of industries, including aerospace, defense, automotive, energy, industrial, medical, dental, and consumer goods.
