Sheet Metal Process

SogaWorks’ custom sheet metal fabrication services provide a fast and cost-effective solution for your project needs.
These services encompass bending, laser cutting, and more, and they are for both prototype development and low-volume production runs.
Sheet metal fabrication produces robust, end-use metal components, offering a diverse range of materials and finishes to meet your specific requirements.

Laser Cutting

Laser cutting is a precise process that uses a laser beam to cut through various types of sheet metal materials, which is capable of creating intricate designs with smooth finishes and tight tolerance.

Bending

Bending is a process of deforming a sheet metal along a straight axis, creating a V-shape, U-shape, or channel shape. This technology provides precision and repeatability with minimal setup cost.

Auxiliary Process

Press Riveting, Welding, etc

Surface Finishing

Baking Finishing, Plastic Spraying,
Electroplating, etc

Sheet Metal Fabrication Tolerance

Sheet metal tolerances describe the acceptable deviation between features on sheet metal parts to ensure correct and consistent fit in installation or integration. You should provide 2D technical drawings(DWG or DXF format) for us. For anodized (color) or powder coating, unless the desired color is “black”, a RAL or PANTONE number or a sample should be provided. SogaWorks will make the best effort to match the color but cannot guarantee a perfect match.
