Sheet Metal Fabrication: Enclosures, Cabinets & Housings Guide

What is Sheet Metal Fabrication?

Sheet metal fabrication turns flat metal sheets into finished structures through laser cutting, punching, bending (press brake), welding, fastening and surface finishing. It is ideal for enclosures, cabinets, chassis, brackets and protective housings.

Cutting and forming

We laser-cut or punch accurate blanks, then bend flanges and features on press brakes with consistent bend allowance and hole-to-edge design rules.

Welding and assembly

Components are welded, riveted or fastened into rigid assemblies, with inserts (PEM nuts and studs) installed for reliable mounting points.

Finishing and protection

Parts are powder-coated, painted, anodised or plated, with corrosion protection and cosmetic surfaces suitable for finished equipment.

Frequently asked questions

What materials are used in sheet metal work?

Cold-rolled and galvanized steel, stainless steel and aluminum sheets, selected for corrosion protection, weight and finish.

Can you add threaded inserts and mounting points?

Yes — PEM nuts, studs and standoffs are installed for strong, repeatable fasteners without welding.

What finishes are available?

Powder coating, wet paint, anodising, plating, passivation and galvanising, with specified colours and textures.

Do you support custom enclosure designs?

Yes — fully custom enclosures and cabinets built to your drawings, from prototype to batch production.
