Our Online Sheet Metal Fabrication Services
We offer a wide range of sheet metal fabrication options. With our extensive sheet metal manufacturing and finishing capabilities, we can produce precise, high-quality parts, whether your sheet metal project involves a single prototype or multiple components.
Custom sheet metal fabrication services are one of our four core fabrication technologies. We provide different personalized needs for each customer. The following items are custom services we currently offer:
Sheet Metal Cutting
Sheet metal cutting is the process of shaping thin metal sheets (typically less than 6mm thick) into the desired shape. At RT, we use a variety of cutting techniques to cut a wide range of complex and diverse sheet metal component shapes.
Sheet Metal Shearing
Sheet metal shearing is the most basic processing technology in sheet metal processing. Shearing machines are used to shear metal materials, and various operations such as twisting, grooving, and grinding can be performed. The shearing processes include mechanical shearing, laser shearing, plasma shearing, and water jet shearing.
Sheet Metal Stamping
Sheet metal stamping is a forming method that uses a press and a die to apply external force to a metal sheet to cause it to undergo plastic deformation or separation, thereby obtaining a workpiece (stamping part) of the desired shape and size. Sheet metal stamping is widely used in sheet metal manufacturing, especially in the fields of automobiles, electrical appliances, aerospace, and machinery manufacturing.
Sheet Metal Forming
Sheet metal forming technology is a comprehensive cold processing technology for thin metal sheets (usually less than 6mm). Metal sheets are processed into sheet metal parts or components with specific shapes and sizes through stamping, bending, stretching, and other processes. In sheet metal processing, sheet metal forming is one of the most widely used manufacturing technologies.
Sheet Metal Hole Fabrication
Sheet metal punching refers to a processing method that uses punching equipment such as punching machines to punch out pre-designed holes through a stamping die. It is usually used to make various sheet metal parts. Sheet metal hole processing is widely used in the production of various sheet metal products, such as the electronic and electrical industry, communications industry, automotive industry, medical equipment, and other fields.
Our Sheet Metal Tolerances
We pursue higher quality sheet metal tolerances than other sheet metal manufacturers. While the maximum part size and thickness may vary depending on the sheet metal used, our accuracy capabilities remain the same for all parts.
For sheet metal parts with linear tolerances, we follow the ISO 2768-mk ISO 2768 tolerance standard. The maximum dimensional accuracy we can achieve is +/—0.2 mm (+/—0.008 in). Without a drawing, the maximum tolerance we can achieve is +/—0.3 mm (+/—0.012 in).

What We Do Sheet Metal Finishing
As a mature sheet metal processing manufacturer, in addition to manufacturing sheet metal parts, we also provide a variety of sheet metal surface treatment options. The following are several common sheet metal post-processing. If you want more, please contact us by phone or email to see what post-processing we can do for you.
Sheet Metal Surface Treatment We Provide
Sheet metal surface treatment is carried out after processing is completed. The surface treatment of sheet metal can change its appearance to a certain extent, affecting its surface roughness, hardness, and other characteristics, achieving the purpose of beauty and durability.
This is our standard surface treatment. When the parts are delivered, the sharp edges are ground to remove burrs, no other additional processing is done.
Glass beads are evenly attached to the sheet metal through a high-compressed air flow to form a granular texture. It plays a role in cleaning parts, improving surface roughness, and improving mechanical properties.
The surface of the sheet metal is ground in a certain direction with a specific sandpaper model to produce linear textures and effects.
Sandblasting + Anodizing Type II
After sandblasting, the parts are then subjected to ordinary anodizing (Type II). The service life, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics of the sandblasted sheet metal after anodizing will be significantly improved.
After the brushed process, the metal parts are immersed in an anodizing tank (Type II). While improving the corrosion resistance of the sheet metal, a certain aesthetic effect is also achieved.
Anodizing Type III (Hard Coating)
After the sheet metal is manufactured, it is placed in an anodizing (Type III) tank. To improve the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the parts. Hard coating has better corrosion resistance than anodizing (Type II).
After the parts are manufactured, the metal surface is sprayed with paint. The spraying process can make the metal sheet metal corrosion-resistant while taking into account a certain aesthetic surface.
After the parts are manufactured, the required powder coating is sprayed to give the sheet metal a certain corrosion resistance. Colors are available.
Black oxide is also called blackening treatment. A thin layer of black oxide film will form on the surface of the parts after blackening. Blackening treatment can not only improve the corrosion resistance of the surface of the parts but also give the parts a beautiful appearance.
After the parts are manufactured, the passivation treatment is carried out to form a protective film on the surface of the metal parts, so as to achieve the ideal effect of maintaining its conductive properties while extending the service life of the metal parts.
The silk screen printing process is mainly used to mark information such as component value, part number, and polarity, as well as version, manufacturer, and other information. This information helps users identify and assemble components during assembly, and also plays an important role in maintenance and debugging.
After the parts are manufactured, the surface of the parts can be given anti-counterfeiting marks through the precise laser engraving process to increase the anti-counterfeiting performance of the product.
