Frequently Asked
Questions
Get answers to the most common questions about our sheet metal fabrication services
What materials do you work with for sheet metal fabrication?
We work with a wide range of materials including mild steel, stainless steel (304, 316), aluminum alloys (5052, 6061), copper, brass, and galvanized steel. Our laser cutting capabilities handle thicknesses from 0.5mm to 25mm depending on the material. We also offer various surface treatments including powder coating, anodizing, zinc plating, and chrome plating.
What is your typical lead time for sheet metal parts?
Our standard lead time is 5-10 working days for most sheet metal projects, depending on complexity and quantity. Simple laser cutting jobs can be completed in 3-5 days, while complex assemblies with welding and finishing may take 7-15 days. We offer expedited service for urgent projects with 24-48 hour turnaround for simple parts. Lead times may vary during peak seasons.
What tolerances can you achieve with sheet metal fabrication?
Our laser cutting achieves ±0.1mm tolerance for most materials. Bending operations typically maintain ±0.2mm on dimensions and ±1° on angles. For critical dimensions requiring tighter tolerances, we can achieve ±0.05mm through secondary machining operations. All parts undergo quality inspection with CMM measurement and detailed inspection reports are provided upon request.
