The sheet metal parts fabrication process includes a range of different manufacturing processes that are used to transform flat metal sheets (of various materials) into an almost unlimited number of product components in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Custom sheet metal fabrication is used for creating custom built parts and products to a customer’s specific requirements and prints. By using advanced techniques, we ensure precision and efficiency in every project.
After reviewing the customer’s design, our engineering department will validate the design providing recommendations to reduce costs or improve the design while determining the appropriate steps and process to achieve the final product.
GMM offers a wide array of sheet metal fabrication processes including punching machines coupled with laser cutting abilities gives us the versatility to turn parts around very quickly.
Geater continues to invest in the latest fabrication machinery and management software to provide the highest quality of workmanship and to increase our capacity and ensure on time delivery of our work to our clients.
Metal fabrication can use a variety of materials, but a single material is commonly selected for its properties and characteristics in its application environment. Below is a comparison table of the materials and sizes we offer.
| Material | Size |
|---|---|
| Aluminum | 0.020 - 0.25 |
| CRS | 0.020 - 0.25 |
| HRS | 0.020 - 0.25 |
| Copper | 0.015 - 0.125 |
| Brass | 0.015 - 0.125 |
| Plastic | 0.010 - 0.1875 |
| Stainless Steel | 0.015 - 0.125 |
Sheet metal fabrication uses various types of metals to produce components and parts. Some common sheet metal materials and their advantages are as follows:
Sheet metal fabrication allows for the creation of custom-built parts and products to meet specific requirements.
Sheet metal is strong and able to withstand heavy pressure and extreme temperatures.
With minimal tooling and equipment requirements, sheet metal fabrication is an efficient and cost-effective manufacturing method.
Fabricating makes it possible to produce high-precision and large quantities of parts.
The finishes and designs available make it a versatile choice for various industries.
Geater’s additional capabilities in fabrication finishing and secondary operations allow for delivery of value-added precision metal products to our customers.
