Sheet Metal Fabrication 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
Using 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
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 Fabricated Parts Produced By SogaWorks
Gallery of sheet metal fabricated prototypes and end-use parts we have produced for our valued customers.
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.

Sheet Metal Fabrication Surface Finishes
We provide diverse finishes for your custom sheet metal parts to enhance durability, corrosion resistance,
and aesthetic appearance. For the finishes not listed below, simply select specify your needs in your quote.
Grow a thickness oxide layer ranging from 0.0001 to 0.001 inches to protect and color aluminum CNC machined parts for corrosion resistance and aesthetics.
Anodizing Type II
Preserve or enhance the electrical conductivity of the aluminum parts while still providing the benefits of traditional type II.
Conductive Anodizing Type II
Apply a protective or functional coating to surfaces. It involves the application of liquid paint and then undergoes a curing process to solidify the paint film.
Painting
Apply a protective and decorative coating to materials, primarily metals. It involves applying a dry powder onto a surface, which is then applied electrostatically and cured under heat or UV light.
Powder Coating
Spray silica sand to the surface of the workpiece using compressed air to clean, smooth, or texture surfaces, providing a desired finish for functional or aesthetic purposes.
Sand Blasting
Apply images, patterns, or text to surfaces.
Silk Screen
Label, engrave, or add information to materials.
Laser Marking
Use abrasive belts or roller brushes to refine and improve the surface quality of the machined components.

FAQs About Sheet Metal Service
What is the minimum order qty of sheet metal service?
We do not have a minimum order quantity limit for our sheet metal service. Whether you need rapid prototyping or small, medium, or large-scale production, we can accommodate your needs.
What is the K factor in sheet metal?
The K factor in the sheet metal process represents the ratio of the position of the neutral axis to the material thickness. This value varies depending on the physical properties and thickness of the materials used. Understanding the K factor is crucial for accurate bending and forming of sheet metal, as it affects the material’s behavior during these processes. By considering the K factor, manufacturers can achieve precise and consistent results in their sheet metal fabrication projects.
How much does the service cost?
Every aspect of a sheet metal fabrication project entails an associated cost. This includes the design phase, potential prototyping, and finishing processes, among other steps. Beyond the fabrication process itself, the materials used also incur costs. Each element, from initial design to the final finishing touches, contributes to the overall expenditure of the project. By understanding these costs, you can better plan and allocate your budget to ensure a successful and cost-effective fabrication project.
