Our sheet metal fabrication capabilities
Learn about the types of sheet metal technologies available.
Laser cutting
Laser cutting allows you to cut flat sheets of metal into desired forms or cutouts.
- Different metal materials
- Water jet, plasma, or punching cutting techniques
- Endlessly customizable
- Various applications in industries
Bending
Sheet metal bending gives you the ability to shape your sheet metal project in 3D forms.
- Wider applications for projects
- Turn sheet metal into braces, hinges, and other 3D parts
- Reshaping without breaking
- More precise that traditional methods

Sheet metal fabrication surface finishes
Choose from a variety of post-fabrication surface finishes.
No finish
Parts are shipped as-machined, in raw condition
Anodized
Addition of thin, non-corrosive layer, smooth, pleasing surface
Powder Coated
Addition of thin paint layer, protective, available in many colors
Bead Blasted
Uniform matte finish, visual improvement, removes tool marks
Chemical Film
Chemical coating applied to protect from corrosion

Our other manufacturing capabilities
3D printing
Get your parts made easily with 3D printing. This process works by layering a polymer powder and solidifying it with a laser. Available in many colors, materials, and processes.
CNC machining
CNC machining produces parts by reading a numerical code from a file and then producing a matching part from metal or plastic material
Injection molding
A traditional manufacturing method, injection molding is best for large, production-size orders. It can be done with different materials and requires a pre-formed mold to be injected with the molten material.
