Material
Aluminum is a light, corrosion-resistant metal. We cut, bend, and form it into strong, light parts with sheet metal fabrication.
Overview
Aluminum is a light, corrosion-resistant metal. We cut, bend, and form it into strong, light parts with sheet metal fabrication.
Aluminum is a light metal that resists rust. In sheet form it is easy to bend and shape into enclosures, brackets, and panels.
We cut, bend, and join flat metal sheets into strong, light parts.
Brackets, enclosures, and panels made to your spec, in low or high volume.

Why Aluminum
About one-third the weight of steel. Great for parts where weight matters.
A natural oxide layer protects it from rust. Good for outdoor and marine use.
Bends and shapes well without cracking. Ideal for enclosures and brackets.
Fully recyclable and eco-friendly. Helps keep material cost low.
Material Options
We stock common grades. Tell us your need and we will pick the right one.
The most common grade. Excellent corrosion resistance and formability.
Stronger and weldable. Good for structural parts.
Excellent formability for deep drawing and spinning.
How It Works
From your file to a finished part in five clear steps. Start with a free quote.
Upload your drawings or STEP file. Get a quote with free DFM feedback, usually within 24 hours.
Our engineers check bend radius, flanges, and holes. We suggest changes that cut cost.
We laser cut or punch the flat sheet to the exact shape you need.
We bend and form the parts on press brakes into the final shape.
We weld, finish, and inspect each part, then pack and ship worldwide.
Applications
Electronic and equipment housings that must be light yet stiff.
Structural panels, mounts, and brackets for many industries.
Body skins, heat shields, and light structural parts.
Decorative cladding, façades, and roofing.
Design Tips
New to this process? These simple rules help your part turn out well and cost less.
Keep the inner bend radius at least equal to the material thickness to avoid cracks.
Add enough straight length beside bends so the press brake can grip the part.
Holes should be at least equal to the thickness from an edge and sized for clean punching.
Finishes
A hard, colored coating that protects aluminum and looks clean.
A durable painted layer in many colors for indoor or outdoor use.
A uniform matte texture that hides scratches.
A custom liquid paint finish for branding or matching.
