SHEET METAL FABRICATION SERVICES

LEIFENG Mechinery Manufacturing’s steel and aluminum sheet metal fabrication services are an inexpensive option for your manufacturing needs. We offer custom sheet metal fabrication with machines that precisely cut, stamp, and form metal sheets into a completed part. Sheet metal fabrication allows for the production of a variety of part types, both simple and complex.

What is Sheet Metal Fabrication?

Sheet metal fabrication serves as a pivotal process in the manufacturing of metal products. It entails transforming flat metal sheets into customized shapes and dimensions through various techniques. Generally, this process can be categorized into three primary methods: cutting, forming, and finishing.

The applications of sheet metal fabrication span an extensive array of industries, ranging from home appliances, computer electronics, and rail transportation to aerospace, agriculture, and even the medical field. In fact, sheet metal lies at the core of numerous objects we encounter in our daily lives. Whether it’s the components of automobiles, washing machines, or the structural I-beams in buildings, its presence is ubiquitous. It’s challenging to identify an industry that does not rely on sheet metal fabrication for producing parts and products.

Sheet Metal Fabrication Techniques

Sheet Metal Laser Cutting

Sheet metal laser cutting combines clean edge finishing free of distortions, high repeatability, and fast production. We offer 2D and 3D cutting options for engraving, rapid prototyping, and manufacturing applications.  

Sheet Metal Stamping

Sheet metal stamping is also known as pressing and involves placing a flat sheet into a press. This is a high volume, low-cost, and fast process for producing identical parts. Sheet metal stamping can also be performed in conjunction with other metal shaping operations for easy manufacturing. 

Sheet Metal Robotic Welding

Metal robotic welding is becoming a faster way to join metal than traditional welding done by an individual. There are a variety of different robotic welding methods such as arc, resistance, spot, TIG, laser, and plasma welding, all with different applications.

Sheet Metal Punching

Sheet metal punching involves punching out a predetermined shape in a piece of sheet metal. The end product is a metal that is left behind.

Sheet Metal Plasma Cutting

Sheet metal plasma cutting is ideal for metal blocks thicker than one inch. Plasma metal cutting is faster and more precise than with a laser at these sizes, which then translates to cost savings.

Sheet Metal Bending

Sheet metal bending forms metal into a curved form such as U, V, L offset bending, edge bending, roll bending, and channel bending. This is one of the most common processes of sheet metal fabrication. 

MATERIALS

STEEL ALLOYS

Steel alloys are valued for their strength, durability, resistance to high temperatures, and corrosion. What makes this metal so valuable is the addition of alloying elements. A part’s application and desired shelf life will help determine what amounts of additional alloys are required.

ALUMINUM

Aluminum is one of the most commonly machined metals in the manufacturing sector because of its diverse mechanical properties. It is affordable, lightweight yet strong, durable, corrosion-resistant, and easy to shape, making it a popular choice in the aerospace, medical, and military sectors

PLASTIC

High-quality plastic parts are cheap, durable, and lightweight compared to their metal predecessors. Their increase in popularity across countless industries comes from their lower manufacturing costs.
