Sheet Metal Services FAQs
What are sheet metal services?
Sheet metal services use cutting, forming, bending, welding, and finishing processes to manufacture custom metal parts and assemblies. Quickparts provides sheet metal services for prototypes and production, supporting applications ranging from enclosures and brackets to complex electro-mechanical assemblies.
What is sheet metal bending?
Sheet metal bending is a manufacturing process that transforms flat sheet metal into custom geometries using specialized tools and techniques. At Quickparts, we use die tooling and press brake punches to form brackets, enclosures, cabinets, assemblies, and other components. These processes allow us to convert flat metal sheets into precise 3D shapes for prototype and production applications.
How do we bend sheet metal?
Quickparts uses several sheet metal bending techniques to achieve the required geometry, dimensional accuracy, and surface finish. Our capabilities include coining and air bending with press brakes, folding for larger sheet metal parts, and rotary bending for delicate surfaces.
We work with a wide range of material thicknesses, including sheets up to 0.25 inches thick. Our team supports stainless steel, brass, carbon steel, aluminum, copper, and specialty alloys, selecting the most appropriate bending process for each application.
What is metal stamping?
Metal stamping uses dies and stamping presses to form sheet metal into specific shapes and features. The die acts as the tooling that creates the final workpiece geometry, allowing manufacturers to produce consistent parts across production runs. Metal stamping works well for medium- to high-volume manufacturing and offers a cost-effective way to produce custom metal components.
What types of metal stamping techniques does Quickparts use?
Quickparts supports a range of metal stamping techniques to create custom sheet metal parts and features:
- Blanking: Cuts a workpiece from sheet metal to create the desired shape.
- Punching: Uses a punch and die to create holes, cutouts, and other features in sheet metal.
- Coining: Applies high pressure between a die and press to form detailed features and surface details.
- Flanging: Forms edges and rims to improve strength, support assembly requirements, or create the desired geometry.
