Sheet Metal Fabrication Capabilities

Forming and Bending

Press brake forming uses a matching punch and die set and the application of force along a straight axis, producing linear bends on metal sheets.

Why Choose Dapitem for Sheet Metal Parts?

Fast and Simple Online Quoting

We offer an average one-day upload-to-quote lead time (simple design quoting in as fast as one hour). Easily configure part specifications like material selection, and finishing options.

All sheet metal parts are made in China with secondary operations such as hardware placement, welding, and finishing done in-house or locally by an approved vendor.

Quality parts are delivered within our five-day standard lead time. Our manufacturing network offers volume discounts for lower unit costs.

Domestic Production

Cost-effective & Reliable

Sheet Metal Technical Expertise

Work with our team of engineering experts that offer technical design guidance and can inform you on manufacturability and cost-saving opportunities.

With more than 200 machines all under one roof, we’re dedicated to continuously evolving our capabilities.

Expansive Capacity

During the sheet metal fabrication process, thin sheet metal stock is placed on a flat bed where a laser cutter (1) draws programmed part patterns. Depending on the part geometry, a sheet metal punch (2) can form additional features. Once the parts are deburred, they move to the press brake (3) where they are formed into the final geometries. Additional secondary operations are often used to finish the sheet metal parts.

How Does Sheet Metal Fabrication Work?

FAQ

How much does CNC machining cost?

CNC machining is a very effective solution for limited runs and lower quantity parts. Price depends on the material chosen, complexity, quantity, and required lead time. Prices for geometry manufacturable by CNC versus 3D printing are relatively comparable, but typically machining offers improved material properties and surfaces. The best way to find your exact price is to submit a 3D CAD model and get an interactive quote with design for manufacturability (DFM) feedback. 

What types of threading options are available?

At all our fulfillment locations, we offer UNF, UNC, and metric threads. Our automated factory can machine parts for coil and key inserts without supplying or installing them. In our semi-automated factory and Protolabs Network, we provide the same threading options, plus SM1, SM2, and SM3 lens threads. We can also install hardware like standard coil inserts, key inserts, and heli-coils at these locations.

What is the maximum part size for CNC machining?

Maximum part size will vary based on your selected material. Our largest part size offered is 22 in. x 14 in. x 3.75 in. (559mm x 356mm x 95.25mm) and is available in Aluminum 6061 and 7075.
