Drawings are kept confidential. Ordering regularly? Trade customers
Sheet metal parts made from your DXF or STEP file: cut on the laser, folded on a CNC press brake, welded or riveted where the drawing says, and finished. From a single enclosure to a monthly run of brackets, and from 0.8 mm stainless to 12 mm plate. Flat-pattern development is done here, so a 3D model is all we need.

Before you enquire
Questions people ask about sheet metal fabrication
- What files do you need for folded parts?
- A STEP file or a native SolidWorks or Inventor model is ideal, because we unfold it with the bend allowances of the press brakes that will fold it. A DXF flat pattern with a PDF showing the folds also works. If you only have a sample part, send it and we will reverse-engineer it for approval.
- What tolerances do you work to?
- Tell us which dimensions matter and what they have to fit, and we work to those. Laser-cut edges are held tighter than folded dimensions, so put the critical sizes on the cut profile where you can.
- Will you keep my drawings confidential?
- Yes. Drawings are used only to make your parts and are never shared beyond the production team that makes them.
- Can you fit inserts, studs and fasteners?
- Yes. Self-clinching nuts and studs, rivnuts, weld studs and captive fasteners are fitted before coating, so the part arrives ready to assemble.
- How long does it take?
- Typically two to three weeks from the day you approve the drawings to the day it is delivered. Repeat orders on a design we already hold are faster. If you have a fixed site date, tell us at enquiry stage and we will confirm whether it can be met before you commit.
