Q. What are the materials available for sheet metal manufacturing?
A. The materials available for sheet metal manufacturing are aluminum, stainless steel, mild steel, copper and zinc, etc. Or you can let us know your material requirement.
Q. What are the surface treatments for sheet metal fabrication products?
A. The finishings available are polishing, sandblasting, brushing, powder coating, plating, anodizing, etc.
Q. What are the common applications of sheet metal fabrication products?
A. Sheet metal fabrication is not only for rapid prototyping. It is also applied in rapid tooling and end-use sheet metal products. For example, sheet metal ductwork fabrication and sheet metal box fabrication. Sheet metal fabrication products are commonly applied in industries such as aerospace, automotive, construction, electronics, healthcare, appliances, etc.
Q. What is the lead time of your sheet metal fabrication services?
A. The lead time of sheet metal fabrication services depends on the material, quantity, finishing, and other fabrication requirements. In most cases, it takes about 7 days.
Q. Is there any rapid prototype tooling process involved in sheet metal fabrication?
A. There is not any rapid prototype tooling process in sheet metal fabrication. Instead, sheet metal is perfect for rapid tooling as it can be easily cut and formed into shapes that rapid tooling needs.
