Category: Sheet Metal Fab
Product Overview
Our sheet metal services provide a cost effective and timely solution for manufacturing requirements across repetitive, low to high volume and high mix production runs. Using high speed fabrication equipment we produce durable end use metal parts made precisely to your specification.
Sheet metal is usually the right route when a part is largely flat or formed from flat stock, when quantities do not justify a stamping tool, or when the part is too large to machine economically.
Key Benefits
Process Range In One Place
Laser, plasma and waterjet cutting, CNC punching, CNC bending, welding and assembly.
Cost Effective For Medium Volume
No tooling cost, so mid volume and high mix programmes are viable.
Durable End Use Parts
Parts fabricated for service rather than for demonstration.
Finishing In House
Anodizing, sandblasting, polishing, powder coating and electroplating.
Application Scenarios and Who It Is For
- Enclosures, cabinets and chassis
- Brackets, panels and covers
- Agricultural and truck components
- Furniture and hardware fabrications
- Machinery guards and frames
If your application is not listed, send the drawing anyway. Most of our work arrives as a part nobody else wanted to quote.

Manufacturing Process and Quality Control
Drawing Review
Our engineers review manufacturability, confirm tolerances and raise anything in the drawing that would cause a problem before production starts.
Sample Approval
Free samples are offered prior to mass production, with first piece inspection recorded against your drawing.
Production Control
In-process inspection at a set frequency during the run, using the coordinate measuring machine and gauges in our inspection room.
Surface Treatment
Anodizing, sand blasting, polishing, electroplating and powder coating applied in house after deburring and cleaning.
Final Inspection
The finished lot is checked against the drawing before packing, with certification issued for the stages you require.
Packing and Delivery
Protective packing appropriate to the part, dispatched within the agreed delivery date.
Customization Options
- Material — specify a grade from our catalog, or describe the function and our engineers will recommend one.
- Tolerance — standard machining tolerance is 0.005 to 0.01 mm; tighter callouts are discussed at quotation.
- Surface finish — anodized, sand blasted, polished, electroplated, powder coated or as machined.
- Marking — laser engraving and CNC engraving for part numbers and logos.
- Quantity — from a single prototype through to long production contracts.
- Certification — certification provided at each stage on request.

Product FAQ
Which cutting process suits my part?
Laser for most steel and stainless, plasma for thicker plate, waterjet where heat affected zones are unacceptable, punching where the pattern suits turret tooling.
Can you supply painted or coated parts?
Yes, powder coating and plating are among our standard finishes.
Do you handle high mix production?
Yes. We cater to repetitive, low to high volume and high mix production runs.
How do I order this part?
Do you offer free samples?
Yes, free samples are offered prior to mass production so you can confirm the part before committing to a run.
