What Are the Differences Between Metal Fabrication and Precision Sheet Metal Fabrication?

Metal fabrication is a broad term that encompasses a wide range of activities, from welding and CNC machining to assembly and finishing. Sheet metal fabrication is a subset of metal fabrication that specifically refers to the processing of large pieces of sheet metal into various shapes and sizes. Precision sheet metal fabrication is a more specific term that refers to the fabrication of sheet metal with high levels of accuracy and precision, often into complex items and finished products.

Metal Fabrication vs. Precision Sheet Metal Fabrication

Metal Fabrication

Metal fabrication is a broad term that refers to the process of transforming raw metal into products or components using a variety of techniques, such as welding, cutting, bending, and punching. It can involve a wide range of metals, including aluminum, copper, steel, and brass. Metal fabrication is used in various industries, such as aerospace, automotive, construction, and manufacturing.

Sheet Metal Fabrication

Sheet metal fabrication is a specialized type of metal fabrication that involves cutting, CNC bending, and shaping thin sheets of metal into specific shapes and sizes. It typically involves the use of sheet metal tools and equipment, such as shears, brakes, and rollers. Sheet metal fabrication is used in a variety of industries, such as HVAC, electronics, and furniture manufacturing.

Precision Sheet Metal Fabrication

Precision sheet metal fabrication is a type of sheet metal fabrication that involves cutting, bending, and forming thin sheets of metal into high-quality and complex components with tight tolerances. It requires a high level of precision and accuracy and typically involves the use of advanced tools and equipment, such as laser cutting machines and CNC machining centers. Precision sheet metal fabrication is used in industries that require high-quality and complex components, such as aerospace and medical devices.
