/03

03 — Fabrication & Finishing

Cutting, forming, joining, and finishing follow the agreed specifications. Checks between operations focus on features that affect later assembly, while hardware installation and secondary machining are included where required by your design.

/04

04 — Final Inspection & Shipment

Completed parts are checked against the agreed dimensions, appearance, and hardware requirements. Requested inspection reports and material certificates are prepared, and packaging protects exposed edges and finished surfaces during shipment.

Materials for Sheet Metal Fabrication

Material selection affects how a part bends, joins, and performs in service. BatchMach Precision reviews your specified grade, sheet thickness, material condition, and finish together, so the manufacturing plan accounts for both the part’s geometry and its intended use. Listed grades are material selection references. Availability is confirmed against the required thickness, material condition, and order quantity.

Aluminum

Aluminum

For lightweight covers, folded enclosures, and mounting brackets, aluminum sheet metal fabrication offers practical material options. Alloys such as 5052 and 3003 are well suited to forming, while the temper and bend radius still need to match the design. We review these details alongside visible surfaces and finishing requirements. Common grades: 5052-H32, 3003-H14.

Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel

Equipment housings, trays, and protective panels often require corrosion resistance alongside a clean, consistent appearance. For stainless steel sheet metal fabrication, 304 is a common general-purpose option, while 316L may suit more demanding corrosion conditions. Specify the service environment, visible faces, and grain direction for brushed finishes when submitting your drawings. Common grades: 304, 304L, 316L.

Carbon Steel & Galvanized Steel

Carbon Steel & Galvanized Steel

Cold-rolled steel is a practical choice for cabinets, equipment covers, and formed brackets where stiffness and cost matter. Powder coating or another specified finish can provide corrosion protection. Galvanized sheet offers a zinc-coated alternative; cut edges, welded areas, and any additional coating requirements should be considered when planning fabrication. Common options: Cold-rolled low-carbon steel and galvanized steel, to the specified grade and coating requirement.

Copper

Copper

Electrical connection plates, grounding components, and formed conductive parts are suitable applications for copper sheet metal fabrication. C11000 combines high electrical and thermal conductivity with established use in contacts and busbars. Material temper, bend geometry, and contact surfaces require particular attention, with plating and uncoated areas identified on the drawing. Common grade: C11000.

Surface Finishes for Sheet Metal Parts

BatchMach Precision matches finishing requirements to the material, operating environment, and appearance of your parts. Specify visible surfaces, coating requirements, and areas that must remain untreated so the finished components retain the fit and electrical contact your assembly needs.

Powder Coating

Powder Coating surface finish sample

Our sheet metal powder coating options provide colored protective finishes for steel and aluminum enclosures, panels, and brackets. Specify the color reference, gloss, texture, and indoor or outdoor use. Threads, close-fitting features, and grounding points can be masked according to your drawings.

Anodizing

Anodizing surface finish sample

Anodizing creates a protective oxide finish on aluminum sheet metal components, with clear or colored options suited to housings, covers, and visible panels. Alloy selection and surface preparation affect the final appearance. Color expectations, coating thickness, and electrical contact areas should be agreed before processing.

Brushing

Brushing surface finish sample

Brushing produces a directional grain on stainless steel and aluminum, making it suitable for exposed panels, faceplates, and equipment covers. Define the grain direction and visible faces, particularly where adjacent parts must match. An approved sample can establish the required texture and appearance.

Bead Blasting

Bead Blasting surface finish sample

Bead blasting gives aluminum and stainless steel a matte, non-directional texture. It can serve as a cosmetic finish or preparation for a compatible subsequent treatment. Media selection and blasting conditions are matched to the desired appearance, with particular attention to thin panels and protected features.

Polishing

Polishing surface finish sample

Polishing refines the surface of stainless steel, aluminum, and copper components to achieve the specified smoothness or brightness. Accessible faces, edges, and weld areas are assessed individually. For appearance-critical parts, provide a reference sample; for functional surfaces, specify the required surface roughness.

Laser Marking

Laser Marking surface finish sample

Add part numbers, logos, serial numbers, or assembly references to metal surfaces or compatible finished coatings. Marking location, size, contrast, and readability are agreed against your artwork. The marking method and its position in the finishing sequence depend on the material and coating.

Passivation

Passivation surface finish sample

Passivation removes free-iron contamination from stainless steel surfaces to support corrosion resistance after fabrication. Weld scale and heat-related oxides require suitable removal beforehand. Specify the applicable treatment and verification requirements when requesting a quote.

Plating

Plating surface finish sample

Plating options include zinc for steel components and nickel or tin for suitable copper parts, depending on corrosion, appearance, or electrical-contact requirements. Specify the coating system, thickness, and any masked areas. Coating buildup must be considered on threads, mating surfaces, and close-fitting features.

Quality Control for Sheet Metal Parts

BatchMach Precision follows your drawings and assembly requirements throughout material receiving, cutting, bending, welding, and final inspection. We focus on features that affect fit, function, and appearance, with first article inspection reports and material certificates available upon request.

Material and Thickness Verification

Material and Thickness Verification

We verify material grade, sheet thickness, and supplied condition, checking for scratches, corrosion, and visible deformation. For orders requiring material traceability, we check batch references against the corresponding material certificates to confirm compliance with your purchasing specifications.

Cutting and Bending Inspection

Cutting and Bending Inspection

We inspect cut profiles, hole sizes, hole locations, and edge burrs, then verify bend angles, flange heights, and critical hole spacing after forming. For parts with multiple bends, we pay particular attention to accumulated dimensional variation and the relative positions of mounting surfaces to support proper assembly.

Welding and Assembly Checks

Welding and Assembly Checks

We check weld locations, dimensions, and appearance against the drawing, then verify distortion and critical mounting dimensions after welding. For parts with self-clinching fasteners, threads, or mating features, we inspect hardware specifications, installation quality, and thread usability, with trial fitting performed where required.

Surface and Final Inspection

Surface and Final Inspection

After finishing, we inspect coverage, color consistency, and visible defects, verify specified masking areas, and recheck dimensions affecting fit where necessary. Before shipment, we confirm part numbers, quantities, and inspection documents, then use suitable protective packaging and separators to reduce scratches and deformation during transit.

How to Design Parts for Sheet Metal Fabrication

The guidelines below help you review bend geometry, hole placement, and edge details before ordering. They are starting points for design review; final dimensions depend on the material grade, thickness, tooling, and assembly requirements.

How to read the values: t means sheet thickness, R means inside bend radius, and V means the opening width of the bending die. For example, with 2 mm sheet, 2t = 4 mm. The symbol ≥ means “at least.”

Design FeatureRecommended Starting ValueExampleExplanation and Design Considerations
Inside Bend RadiusR ≥ 1t, subject to material reviewFor 2 mm sheet, start with an inside radius of 2 mm.This is the radius on the inside of the folded corner. A suitable radius reduces cracking risk. Some grades, tempers, and grain orientations require a larger radius; keep radii consistent where practical to simplify tooling.
Hole DiameterDiameter ≥ 1t as an initial guidelineFor 2 mm sheet, start with holes 2 mm or larger.Very small holes relative to sheet thickness can be harder to produce consistently. Smaller holes may be possible with suitable equipment or secondary drilling. Holes for threaded inserts must follow the insert manufacturer’s specified dimensions.
Hole-to-Edge ClearanceClear gap ≥ 2tFor 2 mm sheet, leave 4 mm between the hole edge and the outside edge.Measure from the nearest edge of the hole, rather than its center. This leaves material around the opening. Fastener loads, insert installation, or other structural requirements may call for a larger clearance.
Hole-to-Bend ClearanceStart with ≥ 4t from the bend centerline to the nearest hole edge in the flat patternFor 2 mm sheet, allow 8 mm of clearance.Material stretches around a bend and can distort nearby openings. This allowance helps keep holes outside the affected area, but the required distance depends on the tooling and bend geometry. Flag critical holes that must sit closer.
Flange Size for 90° V-BendingApproximate minimum: b ≈ 0.7V; confirm against the tooling chartWith a 16 mm die opening, the estimated minimum flange is 11.2 mm.The folded edge must remain supported by the die during bending. This estimate concerns the formed flange dimension from the theoretical outside corner to its free edge. Sheet thickness alone cannot determine the minimum; die geometry and bend radius also matter.
Bend Relief WidthWidth ≥ 1t as a starting pointFor 2 mm sheet, start with a relief cut 2 mm wide.A relief is a small cutout beside a bend that gives the material room to move. It helps reduce tearing and bulging. Its depth must also extend through the area affected by bending; sufficient width alone does not ensure a suitable relief.
Outside Profile Corner RadiusRadius ≥ 0.5t, where function allowsFor 2 mm sheet, start with an outside corner radius of 1 mm.This refers to a rounded corner in the cut outline, separate from the bend radius. Rounding removes pointed corners, but cut edges still require appropriate deburring or edge treatment.
Countersink AngleMatch the screw specification; common included angles include 82° and 90°A screw with a 90° head angle requires a matching 90° countersink.Matching angles allow the screw head to seat correctly. Also specify countersink diameter and check the remaining sheet thickness. Thin sheets may require a formed dimple or a different fastening method.

Sheet Metal Fabrication Applications

BatchMach Precision supplies custom sheet metal parts for equipment housings, mounting structures, and mechanical assemblies. From a single prototype bracket to a production batch of enclosures, we review fabrication and finishing requirements around how your parts fit, function, and assemble.

Electronics and Instrumentation

Controller enclosures, instrument panels, and internal mounting plates must fit circuit boards, connectors, and display assemblies. Alongside overall dimensions, drawings should define interface openings, mounting-hole locations, and internal clearances. Where grounding is required, identify areas that must retain electrical contact so masking can be planned during finishing.

Industrial Automation Equipment

Machine guards, access covers, mounting brackets, and operator panels need to support both installation and maintenance. Assembly drawings help us review opening clearances, tool access, and potential interference with adjacent components. For covers removed regularly, specify the fastening method and any interchangeability requirements.

Robotics and Motion Systems

Sensor brackets, cable mounting plates, and protective covers often need to balance weight, stiffness, and clearance within limited space. Sheet metal components on moving assemblies should be checked against the full range of motion. For sensor-positioning brackets, clearly identify critical mounting-hole spacing, angles, and locating surfaces.

Automotive and Electric Vehicles

Control module housings, wiring brackets, mounting plates, and test equipment components can support prototype validation, pilot builds, and subsequent production batches. During design revisions, keep drawing versions, mating hardware, and assembly requirements aligned. Parts exposed to vibration, moisture, or temperature changes need clearly defined operating conditions and acceptance criteria at quotation.

Medical and Laboratory Equipment

Diagnostic equipment housings, instrument trays, and removable panels often require attention to appearance, cleaning access, and internal component mounting. Materials and finishes should suit the specified cleaning methods. Define cosmetic standards for visible surfaces, seam treatment, and edge requirements early so the necessary operations can be included in the quote.

Power and Renewable Energy Equipment

Inverter housings, power supply enclosures, electrical panels, and mounting plates require coordinated cable entries, ventilation openings, grounding points, and installation space. Indoor and outdoor environments have different corrosion protection and sealing needs. Identify gasket contact surfaces and grounding areas separately, including dimensional, flatness, and coating-masking requirements.
