In modern manufacturing, sheet metal working is a key process for producing high quality metal products. This technology transforms flat sheet metal into complex three-dimensional structures through precise physical deformation and joining processes. The following are the main steps in sheet metal working, each of which plays a decisive role in the quality, strength and appearance of the final product.
Expanding/Programming: The first step in any sheet metal fabrication project begins with design. Designers use specialized 3D CAD software to create the product design, which is then “unfolded” into a 2D form for machining on a flat sheet of metal. Nesting is also done at this stage to maximize material utilization and minimize waste.
Punching/Cutting: Punching or cutting is the process of dividing sheet metal into predetermined shapes. This usually involves the use of equipment such as laser cutters and turret punch presses, which quickly and accurately cut the sheet metal in preparation for subsequent bending and forming processes.
Deburring: Sharp burrs are often left on sheet metal after cutting and blanking operations. Through the deburring process, these burrs can be removed using hand tools or specialized deburring machines to ensure smooth edges of metal parts in preparation for subsequent processes.
Bending: Bending is a core step in sheet metal processing. It uses equipment called a plate bender or bending machine to bend sheet metal at an angle according to the design requirements, thus forming a three-dimensional structure.
Welding: In sheet metal working, welding is the process used to join two or more metal parts. Commonly used welding techniques include TIG welding and laser welding, which ensure that the metal parts are firmly joined together to form a stronger structure.
Finishing: Once the basic shape and structure has been created, sheet metal parts need to be finished. This includes removing thermal strains from welds, smoothing weld seams, removing burns and surface polishing to ensure that the appearance and dimensions of the sheet metal part are exactly as designed.
Assembly: After finishing, sheet metal parts are next assembled into larger components or complete products. This step may involve bolts, nuts and other types of fasteners, as well as small and medium-sized assembly work.
Inspection: Before a sheet metal part leaves the factory, it is subjected to a final dimensional and cosmetic inspection. This step ensures that each product meets the design criteria and is ready to be put to use in a real-world environment.
