Frequently asked questions

What is custom sheet metal fabrication?

Custom sheet metal fabrication is the process of cutting, bending, and assembling sheet metal to create parts and assemblies built to your specifications. Our custom sheet metal fabrication capabilities use fiber laser cutting, CNC press brake forming, welding, and in-house finishing to deliver complete parts from one shop.

We fabricate brackets, enclosures, guards, panels, frames, and other custom sheet metal parts and assemblies. These parts are commonly used in agricultural equipment, industrial machinery, structural and architectural applications, electrical and utility systems, and consumer products.

Custom sheet metal fabrication at FPS typically covers mild or carbon steel, stainless steel (such as 304 and 316), and aluminum in common sheet and plate thicknesses. We can review other materials and thickness ranges on request. Metal thickness – 28 gauge up to 2.5 inches. Bending capability up to .5 inch. Ability to cut up to 2 inches on plasma and 1.5 inch on laser.

Yes. We do not require a high minimum order for custom sheet metal fabrication. One-off parts, short runs, and large production orders are all supported.

Preferred file types for custom sheet metal fabrication quotes are DXF, DWG, STP and PDF.  

Typical custom sheet metal fabrication tolerances depend on material, thickness, and part geometry. As a general guideline, laser cut features can often be held within a tight range, and formed angles are controlled closely with CNC press brakes. We review your drawings and confirm achievable tolerances in your quote.

If you send drawings or models with material, thickness, quantity, and finish requirements, we can provide a custom sheet metal fabrication quote quickly and let you know if any additional information is needed.

Pricing for custom sheet metal fabrication is influenced by:

  • Material type and thickness
  • Part size and complexity
  • Number of bends and forming operations
  • Any welding, hardware installation, or assembly
  • Finishing requirements such as powder coating
  • Inspection and documentation requirements

We will highlight any design changes that could reduce cost while maintaining performance

Yes. Our custom sheet metal fabrication team provides design-for-manufacturability feedback. We can recommend adjustments to flanges, bend radii, hardware locations, and other features to improve fit, function, and cost. We can also create production drawings from your sketches or models when needed.

Yes. Custom sheet metal fabrication can include PEM hardware installation and final assembly. We can supply and install studs, nuts, standoffs, and other hardware, and we can deliver fully assembled components or kits.

Custom sheet metal fabrication at FPS can include in-house abrasive blasting and powder coating, providing a durable protective and cosmetic finish. If you require other finishes, we can review options and coordinate them as needed.

Yes. On request, custom sheet metal fabrication projects can include material test reports and weld certifications when specified on your purchase order or quality requirements.

Yes. We package custom sheet metal parts to protect edges and finishes, and we can label or kit components by project, assembly, or installation area to make your production or field work easier.

To get started:

  1. Share your drawings or a sketch, along with material, thickness, and quantities.
  2. Let us know if you need welding, hardware installation, or finishing.
  3. Tell us your target delivery date and any special requirements.
