Sheet Metal Fabrication
Sheet Metal Fabrication Services for Custom Parts
With over 100 advanced machines, like laser cutters, bending machines and welders, in our China-based network, we can supply any quantity of sheet metal parts, from low-volume prototypes to high-volume production. Our domestic fabricators and engineers provide precision and fast delivery.
Laser Cutting
Laser cutting uses a focused laser beam to cut, etch or engrave materials, vaporizing or melting them for precise edges and complex patterns based on designer specifications.
Bending
Bending applies a force to a thin sheet of metal to shape it into various geometries, like U-shape, V-shape or channel shape. The thickness of the metal can vary.
Welding
Welding is the process of joining two or more metal pieces using heat, pressure or both to form a strong bond. It combines skill and precision to create durable, sturdy metal structures.
Punching
Punching uses a punch tool to create holes or shapes by forcing it through a die, cutting the metal with a shearing action for precise, clean results in fabrication.
Riveting
Riveting is a semi-permanent joining method using mechanical fasteners (rivets) to connect sheet metal parts. It’s faster and much cost-effective than welding.
Stamping
Stamping uses dies and presses to shape flat metal sheets into different forms, creating complex, three-dimensional designs through cold-forming techniques.
How Does Seaforest Sheet Metal Fabrication Work
Our network of sheet metal shops in China gives us the flexibility to tackle any project — whether it’s a complex prototype or a full assembly. We take your CAD designs, turn them into machine code, and our experts take over to cut, bend and shape the metal just right using welding, riveting and more.
We also offer finishing options to make sure each piece not only works but looks fantastic. Whether it’s a one-off or a large batch, we get it done right and on time.
