FLAT PATTERN TO FORMED PART.

Custom Sheet Metal
Fabrication

Plan cutting, bending, joining, hardware and finish as one sequence.

Sheet metal fabrication is suited to enclosures, panels, brackets and formed assemblies that begin as a flat pattern. We review material formability, thickness, bend sequence, holes or slots near bends, flanges, tabs, hardware and finish requirements before coordinating laser cutting, bending, joining and final assembly. Fiber laser sheets can be reviewed up to 2000 × 6000 mm; final feasibility depends on material, thickness, geometry and forming requirements.

MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES

Sheet Metal Fabrication
for Formed Assemblies

A useful sheet-metal plan connects the flat pattern to the final formed part: cutting features must clear bends, flanges must allow tooling access, and hardware, joining and finish must be sequenced around functional and cosmetic surfaces.

Laser Cutting service at T-One

Laser Cutting

Profiles, holes, slots and cut-outs are reviewed from the flat pattern, including their clearance from bend lines and any downstream hardware or joining operation.

Metal Bending service at T-One

Metal Bending

Press-brake work can be reviewed up to 320 ton, 3200 mm length and 10 mm maximum thickness, subject to material, geometry and the required bend sequence. No fixed bend-angle tolerance is published.

MATERIAL OPTIONS

Choose the Right
Material for Your Part.

For sheet parts, material choice, thickness and formability are reviewed with bend sequence, joining, finish and the functional or cosmetic role of each face. A material is not selected independently from the formed geometry.

SURFACE FINISHES

The Finish That
Fits Your Application.

Select the finish after identifying visible faces, mating areas, grounding or contact zones, hardware locations, masking needs and surfaces that must remain suitable for forming or assembly.

BUILT FOR A WIDE RANGE OF INDUSTRIES

Sheet Metal Fabrication
for Real-World Applications

Suitable for enclosures, panels, brackets, covers and formed assemblies that begin as a flat pattern. The manufacturing question is whether cutting, bending, hardware, joining and finish can be sequenced around the part’s functional and cosmetic requirements.

What Shapes a
Sheet-Metal Plan

A useful review connects the drawing’s flat pattern to the final formed assembly, rather than treating cutting, bending and finish as separate decisions.

01

Flat Pattern

Provide the profile, material, thickness, holes, slots and cut-outs so features can be reviewed before forming.

02

Bend Feasibility

Identify bend lines, flanges, tabs and hems where relevant; holes or slots near bends need review for formed-part clearance.

03

Hardware & Joining

Call out PEM hardware, tapping, riveting, welding, spot welding or assembly needs so their sequence can be planned.

04

Surface Zones

Separate cosmetic faces from functional, contact or protected areas and identify masking or grain-direction requirements.

05

Inspection Inputs

Define formed dimensions, hardware locations, functional interfaces and appearance requirements that control acceptance.

A CLEARER PATH TO YOUR PARTS

From Drawing to Delivery

The route is planned from flat pattern through cutting, bending, joining, hardware and finish so downstream steps do not compromise the formed part.

01

Send Drawings

Provide the flat pattern or 3D model, material, thickness, quantity, bend details, hardware or joining needs, finish, delivery target and inspection requirements.

02

DFM Review

Review bend lines, flange access, holes or slots near bends, tabs, hems where relevant, hardware, joining sequence and cosmetic surfaces.

03

Sheet Metal Fabrication

Coordinate laser cutting, bending, hardware insertion, welding, riveting, tapping, spot welding, deburring or assembly where the drawing requires them.

04

Formed-Part Inspection

Check drawing-defined cut profiles, bend locations, formed dimensions, hardware, functional interfaces and agreed appearance requirements.

05

Delivery Planning

Plan production and shipping from the approved drawing, material availability, finish route, quantity and agreed delivery terms.
