Life Sciences // The medical industry sets high standards for both quality and cleanliness. Metal fabrication can be used to make a variety of medical equipment including implants and robotic devices used for medical procedures.

Sheet metal is relatively inexpensive. It’s easy to work with and enables manufacturers to produce large quantities of precision-cut components quickly and affordably. It can be a cost-effective solution to create complex components.

Customization // Because sheet metal is easy to work with, fabricators can build custom metal parts that meet your precise requirements.

Affordable // Compared to machining, sheet metal fabrication is much less expensive and provides a lot of flexibility during each step of the fabrication process.

Accurate // Metal parts can be cut to precise sizes and shapes using computer-controlled equipment. This minimizes the need for secondary processes such as grinding and polishing.

Scalability // Sheet metal forming can easily accommodate production changes without extensive investments in retooling. This makes it well-suited to create prototypes and small batches of parts for testing and validation. It’s also a cost-effective option to produce custom parts in small to medium-sized quantities.

Short Lead Times // Because sheet metal fabrication doesn’t require many processing steps, its lead time is often shorter than other manufacturing technologies.

Aesthetic Appeal // Sheet metal offers multiple finishing options that can be used to enhance its appearance and protect it from corrosion, including painting, powder coating and anodizing.

Overhead Costs // Most metals require some additional finishing processes, such as deburring or painting after fabrication. That can increase production time and overhead costs.

Design Limitations // Sheet metal must have a uniform material thickness. Corners are created by bending metal and must therefore have minimum radii equal to the material thickness. Some bends may require relief notches to prevent unwanted sheet metal deformation. Holes and tabs can’t be located too close to bends or bulges may occur. And there are some limitations on where welds can be made to hold parts together.
