It was easy to order online from OurPCB with instant price quoting. I had a recent bad experience with another international PCB fabricator that has changed owners and the quality had dropped, in this case the PCB boards I received were nearly flawless. I'm not sure if it's standard but I personally got my boards back in a week. Price competitive with other international fabricators. The detailed report provided along with the boards is also very useful. Recommended.

Had a run of PCBs created for our school. Used kicad Gerber files which matched perfectly with their online system . Couldn't believe how easy the process was. Fast turn around and the PCBs are of very high quality and price is very reasonable .
Highly recommended and will return again.

What is Sheet Metal Fabrication?
Sheet metal fabrication is a manufacturing process that uses flat metal sheets to make different products. This process is compatible with different metal materials, such as aluminum, copper, brass, and zinc, and you can fabricate the flat sheet by forming, bending, cutting, folding, punching, stretching, and assembling.
How the Sheet Metal Fabrication Process Works
The typical sheet metal fabrication process includes these sub-processes:
- Design: The design is typically done using CAD software or by hand while considering product dimensions, tolerances, and sheet metal material
- Cutting: Sheets are generally cut using lasers, but other processes use plasma or water jets.
- Bending: Also known as CNC folding, this process can be completed using automated panel bending or manual press brake machines.
- Forming: This step deforms the sheet to the required shape without cutting.
- Welding: Welding joins all the fabricated metal parts to form the final product.
- Finishing: Finishing involves preparing the metal sheets for maximum durability, such as by adding an extra layer of durability (powder coating, polishing, electroplating, etc.).
- Assembly: Assembling the final product involves adding the required products before packaging and delivery.
Major Types of Sheet Metal
- Aluminum: This metal offers a good strength-to-weight ratio, making it suitable for automotive and aerospace or aviation parts fabrication. It is also highly conductive, so cooking vessels and electrical devices use this metal.
- Carbon Steel: Steel alloyed with carbon results in a strong and hardened metal when they are treated with heat.
- Aluminized Steel: With aluminum’s superb corrosion resistance properties and carbon steel’s high strength, these metal sheets are ideal for cooking appliances and other products operating at high temperatures.
- Copper: Although costlier than aluminum, copper is more thermally and electrically conductive. Its sheets can be used to make roofs, sinks, and doors.
- Galvanized Steel: This metal comprises steel-coated zinc to improve corrosion resistance and is more common in water pipes.
- High-Strength Steel: With steel metal sheets as the base, high strength steel is alloyed with several elements, such as manganese, carbon, and copper to enhance its hardness.
- Stainless Steel: Stainless steel is commonly used to make kitchen equipment because it is easily manufactured. Moreover, stainless steel is corrosion, heat, and fire-resistant, and has a high strength-to-weight ratio.
- Titanium: Titanium is also corrosion resistant and has a high-to-weight ratio, making it prevalent in medical and aviation components.

Sheet Metal Fabrication: Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages
- Enables lightweight parts manufacturing
- Can process a wide variety of metal materials with different properties
- Multiple processing techniques
- Provides high efficiency and accuracy in fabrication, especially when using laser cutters

- Sheet metal is highly recyclable, making the process eco-friendly
Disadvantages
- Expensive tooling materials and equipment, especially if custom-made
- Each fabrication technique has its limits
- Tight bending is only limited to thin metal sheets
- The fabricated products can be boxy and appear rudimentary
- Metal needs processing after fabrication, which can increase overall costs
