capabilities to serve all your manufacturing needs.
- Laser cutting
- This manufacturing process uses a high-power laser beam to cut a material sheet.
- Allowable sheet thickness: 1-6mm (depending on material)
- Bending
- This manufacturing process uses dies to produce a U-shape, V-shape or channel shape along a straight axis in ductile materials.
- Allowable sheet thickness: 1-6 mm (depending on material)

Available surface finishes for sheet metal
-
Surface finishes are applied after machining and can change the appearance, surface
roughness, hardness and chemical resistance of the produced parts.
- Standard
- This is our standard finish. Parts as delivered as cut and bent, no additional treatment applied. Sharp edges are broken and deburred for safe handling.
- Laser cutting
- Parts are bead blasted with glass beads which results in a grainy texture. Sharp edges are broken and deburred for safe handling.
- Brushed
- Parts are manually brushed with grit #180 after cutting and bending. Sharp edges are broken and deburred for safe handling. Ideal to reduce the surface roughness of a part.
- Brused + Anodized type II
- Parts are dipped in an anodizing bath (type II) after manual brushing. Ideal for increasing the corrosion resistance of the part. Ideal for increasing the corrosion resistance of the part. Sharp edges are broken and deburred for safe handling.
