What is sheet metal fabrication?

Brushed steel electronics enclosure, sheet metal part by Norck

Sheet metal fabrication is a process that uses sheets of metal (Aluminum, galvanized steel, etc.) to produce metal components that are used as a standalone part or as a part in an assembly. The fabrication process usually includes blanking/punching, shearing, laser/plasma/waterjet cutting, bending, edge bending, forming, deep drawing, and squeezing.

Norck: Your Partner for Precision Sheet Metal Fabrication

Norck delivers expert sheet metal fabrication solutions, empowering manufacturers across aerospace, automotive, industrial, architectural, and other sectors to transform flat stock into complex components, enclosures, and assemblies.

How Does Sheet Metal Fabrication Work?

Sheet metal fabrication involves a series of precise manufacturing processes that transform flat metal sheets into functional components. The process typically includes cutting, bending, forming, and assembling materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, or carbon steel. Using CNC sheet metal fabrication techniques, Norck ensures maximum accuracy, efficiency, and repeatability in every step. From initial design to final assembly, each stage is carefully controlled to meet exact specifications and deliver high-quality, durable parts for industrial and commercial applications.

• Blanking / Punching
Blanking and punching is a process of cutting a workpiece from a sheet metal coil using a press (die). Norck processes sheet metal using punching or blanking methods. In any case, Norck uses BAUCOR branded tools which Norck itself manufactures.
The difference between blanking and punching is the desired result (workpiece/scrap).
• Shearing
Shearing is a process of slicing a sheet metal using a blade which is usually called shear blade. Shearing can be done manually or with a die, which will affect the cut's cost and accuracy. Norck is licensed to manufacture BAUCOR branded industrial blades which includes shear blades. You can check BAUCOR's website here.
• Laser cutting
Laser cutting is a thermal cutting method that is used to obtain custom flat sheet metal shapes. Accuracy is around ±0.0005inches (±0.01mm) for laser and ±0.0010inches (±0.03mm) for waterjet.
• Bending
is transforming a flat metal sheet into a V or U-shaped part using a press. These presses can be of various sizes. Norck can bend sheet metal up to 5000 mm depending on the complexity of the shape.
• Edge bending
Edge bending is transforming an edge of sheet metal into an angle. Sheet metal is fixed between two die parts, and the free edge is punched to form the desired shape.
• Forming
Forming / Stamping comprises multiple operations such as blanking, punching, and bending to form a simple or complex shape of sheet metal components. The sheet metal is transformed between a punch and a DIE with male and female shapes of the final workpiece.
• Deep drawing
In deep drawing, a blank is held between a die and a blank holder, and then it is formed using a punch. The shapes obtained are generally curved parts.
• Squeezing
Squeezing is altering the thickness of sheet metal through two cylinders

Advantages of Sheet Metal Fabrication

Sheet metal fabrication offers numerous benefits that make it an ideal choice for various industries and applications:

High durability: Fabricated metal components are strong, corrosion-resistant, and ideal for long-term industrial use.
Cost efficiency: The process reduces material waste and ensures affordable production for both small and large-scale projects.
Design flexibility: Custom designs can be easily achieved through advanced CNC sheet metal fabrication techniques.
Precision and accuracy: Modern machinery ensures tight tolerances and consistent results in every manufactured part.
Scalability: From prototypes to mass production, custom sheet metal fabrication adapts to any project size or complexity.
