Metal Fabrication

JST provides a one stop shop for all your metal fabrication needs. Our comprehensive range of services includes laser cutting and wire cutting, CNC punching, CNC folding and other CNC machining processes. We also have access to a massive range of post processing finishing options and have a team of skilled hand finishing and welding experts.

Our experienced rapid prototyping team has been working with sheet metal parts for over ten years and our wealth of experience combined with our top quality service make working fast, easy, cheap and reliable. We have supplied prototypes and production parts for a massive range of industries as diverse as automotive through to consumer electronics.

We can fabricate sheet metal exactly the client requires it. The process can be customized regarding thickness, tolerance and quantity. Our engineers have expertise working with ferrous and non-ferrous materials of varied types and sizes offers a variety of capabilities involving sheet metal such as bending, shearing, staking and stamping. We offer operations for sheet metal parts that include drilling, tapping, countersinking and counter boring.

Advantages of Metal Fabrication

Durability: Similar to CNC machining, sheet metal processes produce highly durable parts well-suited for both functional prototypes and end-use production.

Scalability: All sheet metal parts are built on-demand and with lower setup costs compared to CNC Machining. Depending on your needs, order as little as a single prototype up to 10,000 production parts.

Material Selection: Choose from a variety of sheet metals across a wide range of strength, conductivity, weight, and corrosion-resistance.

Custom Finishes: Select from a variety of finishes, including anodizing, plating, powder coating, and painting.

Rapid Turnaround: Combining the latest cutting, bending and punching with automated technologies, JST provides instant sheet quotes and completed parts in as little 15 business days.

Industries that use Metal Fabrication

Parts created through the metal fabrication process can be found in industries like aviation/aerospace, automotive, construction, railroad, shipbuilding, HVAC, industrial automation, machinery, oil and gas.

Metal fabrication is the process of forming parts from a metal sheet. 3D CAD files are converted into machine code, which controls a machine to precisely cut and form the sheets into the final part. Typical forming tools are brakes, punches, and dies which can form angular bends and features. Installing inserts, such as PET inserts, is standard practice along with welding and finishing services. Sheet metal parts are known for their durability, which makes them great for end-use applications (e.g. chassis). Parts used for low volume prototypes and high volume production runs are most cost-effective due to large initial setup and material costs.

Our custom sheet metal services offer a cost-effective and on-demand solution for your manufacturing needs. Fabrication services range from low-volume prototype to high-volume production runs with significant cost savings.
