We transform raw materials into workable shapes for the remaining stages of fabrication. Removing excess material and cutting out a precise shape is the first step to manufacturing your custom component parts.
We work with a variety of sheet metals, including stainless steel, titanium, aluminum and copper.
At Metaltech, our laser cutting services allow us to cut blanks or flat patterns for bending and folding later. We cut precise shapes out of sheet metal efficiently with high-speed lasers and automated material handling. After cutting out the exterior of the part, we can include holes, slots, relief cuts, etching and more.
Our TruLaser 5030 2D Cutting Machine is a 10,000W powerhouse. It cuts through thick and thin materials with speed and ease. A 60″ x 120″ sheet is the maximum size the machine can take.
Maximum material thicknesses:
Our TruLaser 3030 leaves even, smooth cutting edges and can create small contours in metal. This accurate cutting machine can handle a maximum sheet size of 60″ x 120″.
Maximum material thicknesses:
Punch, nibble, form, thread and carve. Our sheet metal punch presses do it all accurately with a complete 360-degree rotation on all tools.
Cut-outs. Perforations. Beading. Stamped logos. You name it. If you need something threaded, stamped or specialty cut, we’ve got it covered.
With 19 available tool stations and numerous 5- and 10-station multi-tools, our punch presses decrease setup and tool change times. That means your custom parts will be made as efficiently as possible—and they’ll be ready for you even sooner.
Our punch presses can work with materials up to 4′ x 8′ and a maximum sheet thickness of ¼”.
Need structural materials like bar stock, angle, tubing or channels? These items are perfect for cutting with a programmable band saw or cold saw.
Our programmable band saws can make uniform straight cuts or add curves to the outside of a workpiece. The maximum dimensions we work with are 12″ x 6″ profile stock.
Our manual cold saws work best for smaller volume projects that need to be produced with special attention to detail. We can cut tubing, pipe and more with an accurate, burr-free finish. We’re able to cut up to 6″ O.D. stock.
Cutting operations in sheet metal involve separating or shaping metal sheets and structural materials into specific sizes and designs using tools like lasers, punch presses, and saws. These processes ensure precision and efficiency in fabricating components for various industries.
We use advanced methods such as:
Accuracy is achieved using state-of-the-art machinery like our TruLaser cutting machines and programmable band saws. These tools ensure smooth edges, precise measurements, and minimal material waste.
The four major types of sheet metal operations are:
Metal machining includes processes like:
