        Sheet Metal Fabrication Process

              There are 3 common steps in the sheet metal fabrication process, all of which

              can be completed with various types of fabrication tools. During the sheet metal 

              fabrication process, thin sheet metal stock is placed on a flat bed where a laser 

              cutter (1) draws programmed part patterns. Depending on the part geometry, a 

              sheet metal punch(2)can form additional features.Once the parts are deburred,they

              move to the press brake (3) where they are formed into the final geometries. 

              Additional secondary operations are often used to finish the sheet metal parts.there
