Sheet Cutting is one of the primary services in metal fabrication. We can offer a variety of cutting techniques and solutions tailored to different customer needs across industries. Below are the services you can request for sheet cutting in metal fabrication:

1. Laser Cutting

Precision Laser Cutting: Offer laser cutting services for high-precision, intricate cuts in metal sheets. Laser cutting allows for fine detailing, minimal material wastage, and high-quality edges on metals like stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and carbon steel.

Custom Shapes and Patterns: Provide cutting of custom shapes, patterns, logos, and intricate designs using a laser cutter, ideal for architectural panels, decorative metal pieces, and components with tight tolerances.

Thick and Thin Metal Cutting: Laser cutting is versatile and can cut both thin metal sheets (up to 1mm thick) and thicker materials (up to 30mm thick), depending on the machine's power and material type.

2. Plasma Cutting

Plasma Cutting Services: Offer plasma cutting for cutting through thicker metal sheets, typically in the 1mm to 50mm thickness range. Plasma cutting uses a high-temperature plasma stream to melt and cut through metals such as mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

High-Speed Cutting: Provide high-speed cutting services for applications requiring fast and efficient cuts in industrial settings, like steel fabrication, heavy machinery parts, and large metal plates.

3. Water Jet Cutting

Precision Water Jet Cutting: Provide water jet cutting services to cut metal sheets using a high-pressure stream of water, sometimes mixed with abrasive material. This is ideal for cutting delicate or heat-sensitive metals like aluminum, brass, and copper without affecting the material’s properties.

No Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ): Water jet cutting doesn't generate heat, meaning there is no risk of warping, distortion, or changes in material hardness. It’s perfect for cutting materials that may be impacted by heat from other cutting methods.

4. Shearing

Manual and Hydraulic Shearing: Offer shearing services for cutting metal sheets into straight lines or precise dimensions using manual or hydraulic shears. This method is suitable for thinner sheets of metal and offers a cost-effective, fast solution for straight cuts.

Custom Sheet Size Cutting: Provide custom-sized sheet metal cutting for parts that need specific dimensions, such as small metal pieces used in machinery, automotive parts, or architectural components.

5. CNC Punching and Cutting

CNC Punching: Provide CNC punching services, where a CNC machine uses a punch and die to make holes, slits, and cuts in sheet metal. This process is highly efficient and works well for cutting multiple sheets or parts in a single operation.

Custom Holes and Cutouts: Offer custom hole-punching and cutouts in sheet metal, such as for creating slots, round holes, or special-shaped openings for electronics, automotive, and manufacturing components.

6. Bandsaw Cutting

Bandsaw Cutting for Metal Sheets: Offer bandsaw cutting services for cutting large sheets or panels of metal with less waste. Bandsaws are ideal for cutting straight lines or angles, and they can be adjusted for cutting thicker metal sheets.

Curved and Straight Cuts: Bandsaws can handle both straight cuts and curved cuts, offering flexibility in metal sheet fabrication for industries such as automotive, heavy equipment, and structural manufacturing.

7. Slitting

Slitting for Roll-to-Sheet Cutting: Provide slitting services, where a metal sheet or coil is fed through a set of rotating knives to cut it into narrow strips or sheets. Slitting is commonly used for processing coils into sheets with specific width or length requirements.

Custom Widths: Offer custom slitting to provide specific widths of sheet metal, commonly used in applications like HVAC, automotive parts, and packaging.

8. Cold Saw Cutting

Cold Saw Cutting: Provide cold saw cutting services for high-precision, clean cuts of thicker metal sheets. This cutting method uses a circular blade to cut metal without generating significant heat, minimizing burrs and ensuring high-quality edges.

High-Quality Edge Finishing: Offer clean, burr-free cuts with cold saw cutting, which is ideal for applications where smooth edges and tight tolerances are required, such as in aerospace or high-end industrial components.

9. Angle Cutting

Angle Cutting: Offer angle cutting services to cut metal sheets at various angles, typically from 30° to 90°, for custom-made brackets, frames, and structural components in construction or machinery manufacturing.

Varying Angle Precision: Provide precise angle cutting for both acute and obtuse angles, ideal for complex metal structures that require custom fabrication in industries such as aerospace and automotive.

10. Edge Preparation and Beveling

Edge Beveling and Preparation: Provide edge beveling for sheet metal edges to prepare them for welding or further processing. This service is essential for joining two metal sheets, especially in heavy-duty industrial applications like piping or structural welding.

Custom Bevel Angles: Offer custom beveling options to create bevels of different angles to suit the welding process, improving joint strength and appearance.

11. Custom Fabrication Cutting

Complex Shape Cutting: Provide cutting of complex, custom shapes according to client requirements, ideal for parts that require special geometries, like brackets, custom enclosures, and metal art pieces.

Prototype and Small Batch Cutting: Offer cutting for prototypes or small-batch production of custom metal parts, perfect for product development or short-run manufacturing needs.

12. Non-ferrous Metal Cutting

Cutting of Non-Ferrous Metals: Offer sheet cutting services specifically for non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, brass, and titanium. These metals often require special considerations in cutting due to their unique properties.

Aluminum Sheet Cutting: Provide custom aluminum sheet cutting for industries like aerospace, construction, and electronics that demand lightweight yet durable materials.

13. Metal Shearing for Light Gauge Materials

Light Gauge Metal Cutting: Offer metal shearing services for thin gauge metals (light gauge steel, aluminum, etc.) that require clean, precise cuts without significant distortion or waste.

Cut-to-Length Services: Provide cut-to-length services for customers needing specific lengths of metal sheets or coils.

14. Cutting for Special Applications

Automotive and Aerospace Cutting: Provide specialized cutting for the automotive and aerospace industries, including sheet metal for body panels, structural parts, or precision components.

Electrical Enclosures: Offer custom sheet cutting for electrical enclosures, ensuring that metal sheets are cut to the exact dimensions required for protective housing in electronic equipment.

15. Consulting and Design Support for Cutting Projects

Design Optimization: Offer consulting services to optimize the design of sheet metal components before cutting. Provide advice on material selection, cutting techniques, and fabrication methods to ensure cost-effective, high-quality results.

Prototype Cutting: Provide prototype cutting services for new product designs, allowing clients to test fit and functionality before mass production.
