What Is Custom Sheet Metal Fabrication?

Custom metal cutting in Northern Maryland by APX York Sheet Metal is a subtractive manufacturing process that creates parts by removing material. Our experts use several machines and tools to fabricate different shapes. Shearing, turning, threading, milling and other processes exist, and we can form anything from bolts and automobile parts to industrial enclosures and other products for your business.

Custom Metal Fabrication Process

The process involves various machines and methods depending on the type of end results you’re searching for. For example, the procedure can include laser cutting, bending, inserts, welding, grinding, powder coating and others. Here’s a quick rundown of varying processes:

  • Bending: A machine bends the work piece to form contours, flanges, seams, curls, corrugations and other shapes. The method uses applied force from pneumatic, hydraulic or electrical machines.

  • Conventional and turret shearing: Conventional shearing is where we cut material using a scissor-like action, often in a straight line, and the turret is where our craftsmen cut the metal by using shaped punches.

  • Sawing: The technique uses sharp saw blade teeth to chip away small amounts of material.

  • Tapping: Tapping creates internal threads using a tool with multiple teeth.

  • Boring: Technicians use a hollow workpiece and the boring process delivers an internal circular profile.

  • Turning: Using a cutting tool to craft custom shapes, a machine rotates the workpiece on an axis.

  • Drilling: We use a fluted cutting tool to form holes.

  • Milling: The milling method removes small pieces of material using a rotating cutter.

  • Grinding: An abrasive grain wheel completes processes like cylindrical, internal and centerless grinding to fashion the chip removal process.

  • Laser cutting: With a high-density beam of light, the focused energy targets areas to form different pieces.

  • Wire EDM: Wire EDM produces shapes using a moving wire that has rapid spark discharges.

  • Waterjet: The waterjet procedure acts like a saw and can cut intricate shapes using highly-pressurized water.

The process of forming tailored sheet metal parts begins with cutting and forming, then ends with assembly and final touches.
