Sheet Metal Work Manufacturing
Sheet metal work manufacturers cut, bend, punch, weld and assemble custom metal components and enclosures from customer drawings or specifications. For a shop that fabricates brackets, panels, ductwork, cabinets and machine guards, the specialists turn incoming orders and drawings into job packets, material requirements and cut lists, schedule jobs on brake, laser and welding stations, track inventory of sheet stock and hardware, generate work instructions and inspection checklists, and prepare shipping and quality documentation. Tooling, tolerances, material certifications and weld procedures remain with the shop supervisor and welders.
