Precision Sheet Metal Fabrication

Sheet metal fabrication is one of the most fundamental production techniques used in modern manufacturing. At L&T Precision, our sheet metal fabrication process combines advanced technology with expert craftsmanship to produce high-quality, precision-engineered components. We utilize the best equipment, including CNC laser cutters, press brakes, and automated punching systems, to ensure accuracy and efficiency. Whether you need prototypes or large production runs, we guarantee complex parts are delivered on time with superior precision and durability.

Customized Precision Steel Metal Fabrication Solutions

Across industries — from medical equipment to electronics, from aerospace to automotive—every business needs built-to-specification sheet metal parts and relies on sheet metal fabrication for manufacturing custom components.

Experts in a range of specialized sheet metal services, we custom-manufacture high-precision components from materials such as stainless steel, copper alloys, and aluminum. But it's not enough to simply form sheet metal — designing parts for efficient manufacturing ensures faster turnaround times without compromising quality.

We offer full sheet metal fabrication capabilities, from Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and prototyping to a high-quality finished product that can be consistently and efficiently mass-produced with a quick turnaround.

Our precision techniques and proven sheet metal fabrication process transform raw materials into various custom-fabricated products, including enclosures, weldments, kiosks, boxes, cabinets, frames, brackets, clips, and panels.

With decades of experience and the use of Lean Manufacturing processes and advanced technology, we ensure the highest quality sheet metal fabrication work with superior efficiency and precision.

We use cellular layouts to ensure the most efficient product life cycle through our factory.

Metal sheets are cut into the required shape using laser cutting and Amada turret machines. Our press brakes ensure that we form the sheet metal accurately and to very tight tolerances.
Each fabricated part is thoroughly inspected for quality before it moves on to the assembly process.
Once the sheet metal parts are cut and formed into the specified shapes, we can fuse together different components using advanced welding techniques, including spot welding, TIG welding (Gas Tungsten Arc) and MIG welding (Gas Metal Arc).
Our high-quality in-house finishing services include liquid coating, powder coating, and silk screening, depending on your requirements.

State-Of-The-Art Fabrication Techniques

We use state-of-the-art fabrication techniques to produce precise, detailed metal components efficiently.

Laser Cutting

At L&T Precision, we use laser cutting, a subtractive manufacturing process that employs a focused laser beam guided by a CNC system for precise and automated cutting.

This highly accurate cutting technology minimizes any warping or distortion of the metal sheet, ensuring exceptional quality and precision. It allows for greater detailing than manual cutting methods and enables our engineers to cut intricate shapes from metal sheet stock, which can be selected for its corrosion resistance and durability. Automation makes the process fast, consistent, repeatable, and error-free, delivering high-quality results for a wide range of applications.

Turret or CNC Punching

Our factory is also equipped with a turret punch press. The machine moves the metal sheet beneath a punching tool to cut out complex shapes accurately and with a high degree of repeatability that is unmatched by any other manual fabrication method. CNC-guided punching is an automated technique that results in highly efficient and rapid production runs while maintaining tight tolerances to deliver high-quality metal parts.

Press Braking

We use CNC-controlled press braking to bend and form metal sheets into desired shapes. Press brakes use a punch-and-die method to bend the metal along specified lines. The CNC system allows for accurate and repeatable results. This versatile technique gives our engineers the flexibility to form various intricate shapes from metal sheets with high precision.

Unparalleled Technological Advantages

Our advanced metal cutting and fabrication techniques and our use of computer-aided design software and CNC machines give us an unparalleled advantage in driving innovative solutions for faster decision-making and delivery of your products.

1. Computer-Aided Design (CAD): CAD software makes it possible for our engineers to develop 3D models to visualize the product before it goes into full production. It not only allows our engineers to develop complex components accurately but also optimizes them at the design stage to ensure they are designed for manufacturability.

2. Design for Manufacturability (DFM): DFM allows us to design products such that they can be manufactured efficiently. Working closely with our Customer's Engineering Team, we can iron out any issues or problems during the design phase that may adversely affect sheet metal production lead times and quality. DFM streamlines our metal sheet fabrication process and helps us improve lead time and maintain high quality.

3. Computer Numerical Control (CNC): We use CNC machines to guide our precision sheet metal fabrication. Automation eliminates human error and minimizes material wastage.

Case Study

Creating a Smooth Manufacturing Process

The Challenge

An aerospace customer developed a unique prototype with tight tolerances, thin material, and a significant amount of welding required. Due to the heat input during the welding process, they were concerned about how potential warping could affect the shape of their prototype, its overall tolerance, and the ultimate manufacturability of the finished part.

To meet their design requirements, they came to L&T Precision to tap into our manufacturing and engineering expertise to create the final design and address the tolerance challenge.

The Solution

Our engineering team broke down and analyzed each component of the prototype’s assembly. We worked with our customer to review all tolerancing specifications and provided feedback on the feature location to avoid interference with the welds.

Our expert team recommended the thickness of the material best suited for the application, as well as a specific alloy which would hold the flatness tolerance well. We engineered the design and manufacturing process to avoid warping critical points of the part, using a system of fixtures to hold the part in place to keep it from expanding during the final welding process.

The result was a successful component for our customer to use as part of their product, and we continue to provide the ongoing manufacturing of this piece.
