Manufacturing Process

Sheet Metal Fabrication

Sheet and plate processing for stainless steel covers, brackets, drainage parts, panels and custom project hardware.

Process Overview

Sheet Metal Fabrication for industrial component production

Sheet and plate processing for stainless steel covers, brackets, drainage parts, panels and custom project hardware.

Process selection should be confirmed by material, geometry, tolerance, surface finish, quantity, application environment and inspection requirement.

Tolerance Tolerance depends on sheet thickness, cutting route, bending, welding and fixture design.

FAQ

Process selection questions

Can AODSON recommend a process from drawings?

Yes. Send drawings, samples, material, quantity and application details for RFQ review.

Is the same process suitable for every material?

No. Material grade, geometry, tolerance and surface finish determine the suitable process route.

Can casting and machining be combined?

Yes. Many complex parts use casting for shape and machining for critical dimensions.
