Customer Examples WHAT IS SHEET METAL FABRICATION? Sheet metal fabrication is a subtractive manufacturing process that forms parts from thin metal sheets. Engineers often choose sheet metal parts for their high precision and durability, especially for end-use applications like chassis, enclosures, and brackets. Xometry’s online sheet metal fabrication services provide a fast and cost-effective solution for any parts that need to be made from 3D CAD files or engineering drawings. Xometry offers a range of sheet metal materials, including aluminum, copper, steel, and stainless steel, as well as assembly services like installing PEM inserts, welding, and finishing services. With a network of domestic and overseas fabricators, Xometry can supply any quantity of sheet metal parts from low-volume, high-mix prototypes to high-volume production runs. Xometry offers competitive, custom sheet metal fabricating prices for low volume prototypes and cost savings for high volume production runs.

Sheet stock is procured in a flat state and cut then formed into its final state through a series of progressive steps. For a typical sheet metal project, the first step is equivalent to sheet cutting, where a shear, laser, waterjet, plasma, or punch press is used to create the internal holes and edge features of the part. This process is also known as blanking. Once the blank is produced, the next step is to form sheet metal using various tools, but most commonly some sort of brake. A brake press can be manual or automated and uses die inserts to create a desired angular bend, forming the two-dimensional sheet into a three-dimensional object. Sheet metal forming can bend the part in multiple directions, creating simple parts such as brackets up to highly complex geometries which may require custom die tools. Once the tools are in place, making subsequent sheet parts in production is very cost-effective. This makes sheet metal fabrication and forming ideal for low to high volume production. XOMETRY SHEET METAL FABRICATION CAPABILITIES FeatureDescription Feature Blank Size Description 10’ x 20’ (3.05 m x 6.10 m). We accommodate larger part volumes upon request. Feature Standard Lead Time Description 3 business days Feature Sheet Thickness Description 0.024” - 0.250” typical. We accommodate thicker or thinner gauges upon request. Feature General Tolerances Description For single planes or flat parts, +/- 0.010” on edge to edge, edge to hole, and hole to hole features; +/- 0.010” on bend to edge/hole features. For multi-planed bent parts, +/- 0.030” for hole to hole/edge, edge to edge, and over-formed parts; +/- 1 degree for bend angles. Feature Braking (Hydraulic) Description 10’ length, fingers from 3” - 6” Feature Braking (Magnetic) Description 6 tons of magnetic pull across the entire beam, 5/8″ minimum reverse bend Feature Punching Description 2″ diameter hole capacity, or larger upon request Feature Welding Description Welded edges and seams, weldments, and assemblies This table depicts the general tolerances for Xometry’s sheet metal services. Learn more about our sheet metal manufacturing standards. HOW XOMETRY SHEET METAL FABRICATION WORKS Xometry's custom sheet metal fabrication services utilize the top sheet metal fabricators in the US and globally. Sheet metal fabricators first convert CAD and drawing data into machine code. A laser cutting, waterjet, or plasma cutting machine will then precisely remove sheet metal material. The raw material is formed into angular bends and features using brakes, punches, and dies. If any assembly or post-processing is required, our sheet metal manufacturers will weld, add inserts, or finish the part. The efficiency and high precision of sheet metal fabrication, coupled with Xometry’s variety of materials, range of sheet metal fabricators, and post-processing options means you can get parts for any application. Sheet metal applications include aerospace, defense, automotive, energy, industrial, medical, dental, and consumer products.

Available Sheet Metal Finishes Standard Minimal post-processing or treatment on parts is done. Bead Blast The part surface is left with a smooth, matte appearance. Anodize (Type II Or Type III) Type II (MIL-A-8625, Type II) creates a corrosion-resistant finish. Sheet metal parts can be anodized in different colors—clear, black, red, and gold are most common—and are usually associated with aluminum. Type III (MIL-A-8625, Type III, Class 1/2 "hardcoat") is thicker and creates a wear-resistant layer in addition to the corrosion resistance seen with Type II. Chem Film (Chromate Conversion Coating) This sheet metal finish provides corrosion resistance and good conductivity properties. Chem film can be used as a base for paint and can leave surfaces yellow or gold. Adds very little thickness, about 0.00001”-0.00004.” Chem film will conform to MIL-DTL-5541, TYPE I/II. Powder Coat This is a sheet metal fabrication process where powdered paint is sprayed onto a part that is then baked in an oven. This creates a strong, wear- and corrosion-resistant layer that is more durable than standard painting methods. A wide variety of colors are available to create the desired aesthetic. Electroless Nickel Plating A sheet metal fabrication process that provides uniform nickel coating which offers protection from corrosion, oxidation, and wear on irregular surfaces. The finished part will be brighter. Thickness starts at .0001” and this finish conforms to MIL-C-26074. Gold Plating Gold Plating provides good corrosion and tarnish resistance with excellent solderability. Default application specification is MIL-G-45204 & ASTM B488, CLASS 00, 0, OR 1 (Thickness 0.00002" - 0.00005"). Silver Plating Silver offers high solderability and electrical conductivity but is susceptible to tarnish on sheet metal parts. Conforms to AMS QQ-S-365D. Thickness is about 0.00002”- 0.0003.” Sheet Metal Design Guidelines FeatureDescription (MT = Material Thickness) Feature Minimum Bend Description (MT = Material Thickness) 1X MT Feature Minimum Hole to Edge Distance Description (MT = Material Thickness) 2X MT Feature Minimum Hole to Hole Distance Description (MT = Material Thickness) 6X MT Feature Minimum Bend Edge to Hole Distance Description (MT = Material Thickness) 6X MT Feature Minimum Feature to Countersink Distance Description (MT = Material Thickness) 8X MT Feature Minimum Countersink Depth Description (MT = Material Thickness) 0.6X MT Feature Relief Cuts Description (MT = Material Thickness) 1X MT Feature Corner Fillets Description (MT = Material Thickness) 0.5X MT To see more design-for-manufacturing recommendations, view our Sheet Metal Fabrication Design Guide. APPLICATIONS AND ADVANTAGES OF SHEET METAL FABRICATION RAPID TOOLING Sheet metal can be quickly cut into 2D profile shapes and formed out of a variety of high-strength materials, making it perfect for rapid tooling.
