Custom Sheet Metal Fabrication Services

Sendot Technology provides custom sheet metal fabrication — laser cutting, bending, stamping, welding, and finishing of steel, stainless steel, and aluminum parts. From a single prototype to low-volume production, we turn your CAD into precise enclosures, brackets, panels, and chassis, shipped worldwide.

Buyer focus

Use controlled CAD and drawings to define enclosures, brackets, panels, formed parts or low-volume assemblies.
Provide material grade, sheet thickness, bend and joining requirements, finish, quantity and inspection criteria for review.
Confirm the manufacturing route and project schedule only after the drawing and order requirements are reviewed.

What is sheet metal fabrication?

Sheet metal fabrication is the process of turning flat metal sheet into finished parts by cutting, forming, and joining. A part starts as a flat blank that is cut to shape (laser, punch, or shear), bent to form flanges and features on a press brake, then welded, riveted, or fastened into an assembly and finished. Because it works from standard sheet stock with reusable tooling, it is fast and cost-effective for enclosures, panels, and structural parts in low to mid volumes. Learn the basics in our sheet metal fabrication guide.

Our sheet metal services

Laser Cutting & Punching

Fast, precise cutting of complex profiles, holes, and cutouts from sheet.

Bending & Forming

Press-brake bending of flanges, hems, and complex forms to tight angles.

Stamping

High-volume stamped parts with custom dies for repeatable features.

Welding & Assembly

TIG/MIG/spot welding, riveting, and hardware insertion into assemblies.

Hemming & Finishing

Hemmed edges plus powder coating, anodizing, and plating.

Sheet Metal Prototyping

Fast, no-order quantity prototypes to validate fit and form before production.

Material and drawing inputs

Specify material grade, sheet thickness and approved alternatives in the drawing or RFQ. Identify bends, hole positions, threads or hardware, joining, finish, cosmetic surfaces, quantity, datums and inspection criteria. The route is confirmed for the specific project.

Design for sheet metal (DFM)

Good sheet metal design keeps bends, holes, and flanges within manufacturable limits — consistent wall thickness, adequate bend radii, and enough edge distance for holes near bends. Read our sheet metal design tips and how to avoid common defects to get right-first-time parts.

Route and approval control

A supplier can review CAD, drawing, material, thickness, bends, hardware, joining, finish, quantity and inspection inputs. DFM feedback can identify manufacturing questions, but the buyer retains final responsibility for design release, deviations and acceptance.

Frequently asked questions

What should a sheet-metal RFQ include?

Provide STEP, DXF or a controlled 2D drawing as appropriate, plus material grade, thickness, bends, holes, threads or hardware, joining, finish, quantity and inspection requirements.

When should sheet metal be compared with CNC machining?

Compare routes against geometry, material, formed features, joining needs, finish, quantity and critical interfaces. CNC may be evaluated where machined features are central to the drawing.

When is a new review needed?

Re-review when the controlled revision, material, thickness, bend or joining requirement, finish, quantity or inspection plan changes.

Buyer decision guide

What should a prototype sheet-metal RFQ include?

Send a flat or formed-part definition, material and thickness, bend and hardware requirements, finish, quantity and inspection criteria. DXF data can support cutting, while a 3D model and drawing clarify formed geometry, datums, tolerances, welds and assembly interfaces.

Sheet-metal RFQ inputs

STEP plus DXF where applicable
Material grade and sheet thickness
Bend, weld and hardware callouts
Finish and cosmetic-surface requirements
Quantity and critical inspection points

Decision flow

01
Prototype
Define the controlled revision, purpose, materials, formed features and critical interfaces.
02
Cut, form & join
Review profiles, bend access, reliefs, hardware, joining and surface requirements.
03
Finish & inspect
Confirm finish, appearance and inspection requirements against the order before release.

Choose the process from the part definition

Route	When to evaluate it	Inputs to confirm	Re-review trigger
Prototype sheet metal	The part uses formed sheet features such as enclosures, brackets, panels or low-volume assemblies.	Material grade, thickness, bends, hardware, joining, finish and inspection criteria.	Revision, thickness, bend, joining, finish or quantity changes.
CNC machining	The drawing is centered on machined prismatic features, bores, pockets or precision interfaces.	CAD, drawing, material, critical features, finish and inspection requirements.	Geometry, material or critical-feature changes.
Die casting or 3D printing	The project is evaluating a cast route or early geometry learning instead of a formed-sheet route.	Part purpose, material intent, quantity scenario and validation plan.	Design stability, quantity or validation-scope changes.
