Our Custom Sheet Metal Fabrication Services
Laser Cutting
Laser technology utilizes high-energy beams to precisely cut metal sheets, providing accuracy, quick processing, and the capability to produce complex designs with sleek finishes and narrow allowances.
Plasma Cutting
Plasma cutting, involving the use of a rapidly propelled jet of superheated plasma to penetrate conductive materials, proves to be advantageous for heavy-duty metal manufacturing due to its rapid speed, economical nature, and effectiveness.
Bending
Shaping metal sheets into V, U, and channel forms, bending is a flexible fabrication technique that allows for intricate shapes with minimal setup expenses. It is suitable for intricate geometries.
Breton Precision Sheet Metal Processes
Examine the distinct benefits of all sheet metal methods, then identify the ideal fit for your custom metal fabrication part order.
| Process | Techniques | Precision | Applications | Material Thickness (MT) | Lead Time |
| Cutting | Laser cutting, Plasma cutting | +/- 0.1mm | Stock material cutting Cutting of external shapes Secondary cutting Cutting lines Cutting irregular holes |
6 mm (¼ inch) or less | 1-2 days |
| Bending | Bending | Single bend: +/- 0.1mm Double bend: +/- 0.2mm More than two bends: +/- 0.3mm |
Shaping, stamping marks, embossing letters, fastening of static guide rails, pressing earth signs, piercing holes, pressing smooth, pressing triangle-strengthening, and others. | The smallest bend radius should be at least equal to the sheet thickness. | 1-2 days |
| Welding | Tig Welding, MIG welding, MAG welding, CO2 welding | +/- 0.2mm | For crafting airplane bodies and motor parts. In vehicle frames, waste fumes systems, and framework. In forming sections for producing and circulating energy. | As low as 0.6 mm | 1-2 days |
General Tolerances for Sheet Metal Fabrication
Our metal sheets adhere to ISO 13485 precision for consistent excellence. If you require higher precision, provide details on the blueprints or contact our engineers.
| Dimension Detail | Metric Units | Imperial Units |
| Edge to edge, single surface | +/- 0.127 mm | +/- 0.005 in. |
| Edge to hole, single surface | +/- 0.127 mm | +/- 0.005 in. |
| Hole to hole, single surface | +/- 0.127 mm | +/- 0.005 in. |
| Bend to edge / hole, single surface | +/- 0.254 mm | +/- 0.010 in. |
| Edge to feature, multiple surface | +/- 0.762 mm | +/- 0.030 in. |
| Over formed part, multiple surface | +/- 0.762 mm | +/- 0.030 in. |
| Bend angle | +/- 1° | |
As a default, pointed corners will be smoothed and filed down. If any crucial edges need to remain sharp, please indicate and detail them on your diagram.
