Professional Sheet Metal Fabrication
As an experienced sheet metal product manufacturer. We have the precise equipment to produce and assemble custom sheet metal components. This includes manufacturing the simplest parts and the most complex assemblies in large or small batches. Our extensive sheet metal fabrication capabilities allow us to provide effective manufacturing solutions that meet your exact needs rather than providing limited options. When manufacturing custom products, our machines are compatible with many different types of metals, sheet lengths, and thicknesses. Xtmachining is able to produce large or small batches of these custom laser cut sheet metal products. Typically, the manufactured sheet metal parts can be used for prototyping or large-scale production operations.
Our Capabilities
Our equipment is capable of running coils or cutting blanks from sheet stock for high volume projects. We typically process components ranging from 0.030” to 0.070” thick and approximately 10” x 18” in size with a dimensional tolerance of ±0.005”, but are capable of handling a wide range of material specifications from 0.008” to 0.188” and can process sheet metal up to 4’ x 12’.
We specialize in providing our customers with a comprehensive single fabrication, machining, and finishing service. Because we perform all of our services in-house, we are able to not only streamline our customers’ supply chain, but also optimize manufacturing operations by working with our customers to explore different fabrication methods to find the best solution for their specific application.

What is Sheet Metal Fabrication and How Does It Work?
Sheet metal fabrication (or metalworking) is a process that creates metal parts, components, and structures from raw materials. Typically, the process forms steel and aluminum sheets into metal components and desired shapes through a range of techniques, including cutting, stamping, folding, and assembly.
Sheet metal fabrication is a versatile and valuable process that involves creating metal structures and components by cutting, bending, and assembling various types of sheet metal. The process begins with selecting the appropriate sheet metal, such as stainless steel or aluminum, based on factors such as corrosion resistance, strength requirements, and aesthetics. Once the sheet metal is selected, it is cut using modern equipment such as laser cutters or water jet cutters to achieve precise dimensions. After cutting, the sheet metal is formed and shaped through various methods such as bending, rolling, or folding to create the desired structure or component. To ensure the strength and durability of the fabricated piece, different sheet metal components may be securely joined together using welding techniques such as gas tungsten arc welding or metal inert gas welding. Finally, the fabricated piece may undergo additional processes such as powder coating or galvanizing for enhanced durability and customization.
Advantages of Sheet Metal Production
- Sheet metal design options are very flexible. Customers can express a need for specific features, and sheet metal materials allow for many different solutions.
- It is possible to go from a single prototype to mass production. Modern production methods such as 3D printing offer fast lead times that fit the needs of prototyping perfectly. However, these methods are limited to prototyping.
- Sheet metal manufacturing processes lend themselves to a gradual transition from prototyping to mass production. Prototyping sets a baseline and sets expectations for mass production by establishing the required infrastructure.
