Sheet Metal Fabrication
If you are looking for a sheet metal fabrication shop, you can trust the Xnparts team to provide you with the services you need. From a single prototype or short run to full-scale manufacturing, we have the custom metal fabrication tools and experience you need to ensure your project is a success.
One-Stop Sheet Metal Fabrication Partner
At Xnparts, we understand the challenges of manufacturing complex sheet metal products and are here to help. The key difference between us and other manufacturing companies is our ability to quote, design, manufacture, assemble and ship your parts all under one roof, one-stop service. Our state-of-the-art facilities, advanced sheet metal fabrication technology and equipment, and skilled engineering and production teams enable us to provide high-quality custom sheet metal components to meet your business needs.
We have a wide range of materials and processes, as well as assembly and support design and quality control capabilities, from design for manufacturability (DFM) to prototyping, to high-quality finished products that can be consistently and efficiently mass-produced in fast turnaround times. Our goal is to be your reliable manufacturing supplier partner, providing reliable, high-quality, on-time production scheduling and delivery services to your supply chain network.
From concept to installation
Our sheet metal fabrication shop can assist you with your project from start to finish, or step in when needed. If you need guidance in your project, our team can first design a custom solution based on your needs. Your ideas will be transformed into appropriate CAD drawings or 3D models. The design will then be sent to you for review and approval. Once you sign off, our team will begin manufacturing the perfect product. Once completed, we will ship the product to your location, including all necessary installation instructions. We will even complete the installation for you upon request.
Design for Manufacturing
Before starting a project, we will evaluate your drawings and check if your design is suitable for workshop production:
- Bend radius, bend relief, hole diameter, hole-to-hole distance, hole-to-edge distance, etc.;
- Dimensional and geometric tolerances. They must be achievable and ensure proper operation;
- What kind of problems may occur during the production of such a product.
Detailed Quality Control Report
During the production process or before shipment, we will send you a detailed quality control report, which may include dimensional reports, material certificates, etc. (such as salt spray test reports, etc.). We will also send you pictures and videos so that you can stay updated. When you receive the products, they will be exactly as you expect.
Packaging and loading plan design
Sheet metal parts must be properly packaged to avoid damage during handling and transportation. Otherwise, they can be easily bent, deformed or scratched. For a fully loaded container, we will design the best loading plan to fit more products into the container, which will save transportation costs and keep the items neat and organized during loading.
Modern Equipment Required for the Modern World
At Xnparts, we pride ourselves on having cutting-edge equipment that enables us to deliver exceptional results. Our state-of-the-art machines include advanced CNC plasma cutting systems, high-performance press brakes, precision laser cutting machines, and versatile water jet cutting technology. With this modern equipment, we can process a wide range of materials and ensure precise cuts, complex designs, and efficient manufacturing processes. From initial concept to final product, our state-of-the-art equipment enables us to meet the demands of the modern world and exceed our customers’ expectations.
Get in touch with our precision sheet metal fabrication experts
Whether your project has a tight timeline, requires high precision, deals with highly complex parts, or requires low-volume manufacturing, Xnparts can easily meet your needs. Our experts use cutting-edge technology, proven processes, and meticulous attention to detail to ensure your project is completed on time, on budget, and to the highest standards.
Our Sheet Metal Fabrication Capabilities
Xnparts typically uses 4 Sigma quality standards with a tolerance of +/-.006″ / .15mm for standard feature sizes (holes, squares, etc.). For single hit, flat pattern relationships, the tolerance is ‘+/-.010″ / .25mm. Tolerances vary from project to project, and our machining capabilities allow us to meet tighter tolerance requirements, such as military, aerospace, and defense products.
While the maximum part size and thickness may vary depending on the sheet metal used, our accuracy capabilities are the same for all parts. The maximum dimensional accuracy for all sheet metal fabrication parts is ±0.13mm, the minimum complex feature size is 1x1mm, and the minimum laser cut is 0mm. The maximum sheet size is 3000 x 1500mm, and the maximum thickness of any part is 25.4mm.
We provide custom sheet metal fabrication services
With extensive fabrication and finishing capabilities, we can handle everything from small batch prototypes to high volume production. Our knowledgeable team of engineers ensures that each sheet metal component is manufactured to precise specifications and quality standards. Whether your project is a single component or multiple assemblies.

What is Sheet Metal Fabrication?
Sheet metal fabrication is essentially the process of manufacturing metal parts and products made from raw sheet metal. It is a manufacturing process that converts sheet metal into custom functional parts. The process typically involves removing material from the sheet to form a basic shape, and then may involve secondary steps such as bending to create more complex 3D shapes. Sheet metal fabrication processes typically involve CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines that automatically guide the cutting or manual forming process under computer control. The fabrication process produces precision parts with simple or complex shapes through automated cutting processes and manual processes.
Advantages
- Affordable: Sheet metal fabrication is less expensive than machining and offers a great deal of flexibility in every step of the manufacturing process.
- Precise: Metal parts can be cut to precise sizes and shapes using computer-controlled equipment. This minimizes the need for secondary operations such as grinding and polishing.
- Scalability: Sheet metal forming can easily adapt to production changes without a large investment in retooling. This makes it ideal for creating prototypes and small batches of parts for testing and validation. It is also a cost-effective option for producing small to medium batches of custom parts.
- Short Lead Time: Because sheet metal fabrication does not require as many processing steps, its lead time is generally shorter than other manufacturing techniques.
