Frequently Asked Questions

Is sheet metal fabrication better than welding?

Welding is one part of the metal fabrication process and should not be excluded when creating products. Sheet metal fabrication offers greater strength and flexibility with designs. We use high-grade cutting, bending and shaping techniques to create complex parts. These components are more durable than welded pieces on their own.

What types of products can you fabricate?

We at Metal-Tech Industries fabricate a wide range of products according to client specifications. These products include battery charger stations, telemetry cabinetry, monitor enclosures, general enclosures, and more.

What different techniques are involved in metal fabrication?

There are three different methods of metal fabrication. These methods are sheet metal fabrication, welding and machining. Sheet metal fabrication involves bending and cutting sheets into their desired shape. Welding involves the joining of two different pieces by melting the parts together. Machining is where the desired product or shape is cut out of a larger piece to produce a final product.

What differentiates metal folding from bending?

Metal folding is suitable for thicker sheets of metal, whereas metal bending is ideal for thinner sheets. Metal folding is also preferable for larger pieces. Both processes use different techniques to shape metal.

Is bending metal better than welding?

Bending sheet metal is usually preferable to welding because it preserves the metal’s integrity. Pressing the metal into shape, instead of welding pieces together, also reduces metal waste.

What can you produce with metal folding?

Sheet metal bending and folding can be used to create a range of different products. Metal folding services are often used to make brackets, shelving, cabinet components, boat parts and much more.

Does the material impact the effectiveness of metal folding?

The effectiveness of metal folding is impacted by the thickness of the material. Thicker sheets can weaken or warp under bending pressure, but with the right machines, they can be shaped with minimal material damage.

What materials do you work with for laser cutting?

We can laser cut a variety of materials. These include mild steel (Galv and Zincalume), stainless steel, tempered steel, aluminium, copper, and brass. Our machines can cut through up to 20 mm of metal, depending on the material.

How does laser cutting compare to plasma cutting?

Laser cutting generally provides better results than plasma cutting. It offers more precision and often faster cutting with smoother results. Plasma cutting, using hot plasma to cut through material, is better for straightforward cuts. For detailed custom designs, laser cutting is the best option.

How do you program laser cutters?

Programming laser cutters involves using computers. Once a design is made, it is sent directly to the laser cutter to start cutting. At Metal-Tech Industries, we employ the latest equipment for all projects. Our CNC (computer numerical controlled) laser cutting machine ensures top-quality cuts.
