Sheet metal fabrication is essential for producing parts and components used in construction, aerospace, automotive, and other applications. Several different processes and operations are grouped under the category of sheet metal fabrication, including cutting, punching, folding, stamping, and assembly with welding, rivets, or other fasteners. As a result, it’s possible to create parts of many sizes with a range of features, to very tight tolerances.

Aranda Tooling provides custom, precision sheet metal services for customers around the world. Learn more about our capabilities and expertise.

Why Sheet Metal Fabrication Is Vital

Sheet metal machining or fabrication is broad terminology for several manufacturing processes that start with sheets or strips of metal, such as steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and many specialty alloys. Fabrication operations, including stamping, bending, piercing, punching, cutting, and welding, can be used to create parts that are simple or complex, ranging in size from tiny electronic components to large structural panels, and everything in between. 

Because many types and thicknesses of metal can be used, fabricated metal parts are used throughout industries for applications such as:

  • Automotive: Frame members, brackets and clips, connectors, and electrical contacts
  • Aerospace: Panels, enclosures, buckles, brackets, and reinforcements
  • Industrial equipment: Enclosures and housings, structural panels and frames, and mounting hardware
  • Consumer electronics: Clips and pins, EMI shields, enclosures, connectors, and switches
  • Medical devices: Cover plates and panels, enclosures, clips, and mounting brackets
  • Solar, wind, & renewable energy: Structural panels and enclosures, punched panels, and mounting brackets for solar panels or turbines
  • Architectural: Structural, framing, and fastening components, as well as decorative elements
