Frequently Asked Questions

Is sheet metal fabrication better than welding?

Welding plays a significant role in the metal fabrication process and is necessary for product creation. Sheet metal fabrication delivers greater strength and flexibility in design. Through high-grade cutting, bending, and shaping techniques, we produce complex parts that are more durable than just welded pieces.

What types of products can you fabricate?

Metal-Tech Industries produces a diverse range of products based on clients’ specifications, including battery charger stations, telemetry cabinetry, monitor enclosures, general enclosures, and more.

What are the different methods of metal fabrication?

Metal fabrication includes three main methods: sheet metal fabrication, welding, and machining. Sheet metal fabrication involves bending and cutting sheets to their desired shape. Welding joins two pieces by melting them together. Machining cuts the desired product or shape from a larger piece.

What is the difference between metal folding and bending?

Metal folding is often used on thicker sheets, whereas bending is better for thinner sheets. Folding is also more suitable for larger pieces. Both processes use different techniques to shape metal into various forms.

Does bending metal have advantages over welding?

Bending metal is often superior to welding since it maintains the metal’s integrity. Pressing the metal into its desired shape, rather than welding parts, results in less waste.

What products can be created using metal folding?

Metal folding and bending techniques are used to create many products. Typical items include brackets, shelving, cabinet components, boat parts, and more.

What impact does the material have on the effectiveness of metal folding?

Metal thickness influences the effectiveness of folding. Thicker sheets may weaken or warp due to bending pressure. Using the right machines, thicker sheets can be bent with minimal material distress.

What types of materials can be laser cut?

Our laser-cutting services can work on a range of different materials. These include mild steel (Galv and Zincalume), stainless steel, tempered steel, aluminium, copper and brass. Depending on the material, our machines can cut through up to 20 mm of metal.

Which is better: laser cutting or plasma cutting?

Laser cutting is typically better than plasma cutting, offering more precise and faster cuts with smoother finishes. Plasma cutting, which uses hot plasma, is more suitable for simple cuts. For custom designs with complex details, laser cutting is the preferred method.

What steps are involved in programming laser cutters?

Laser cutters are programmed via computers. After designing, the file is sent to the laser cutter for execution. At Metal-Tech Industries, we utilise the latest equipment for our projects. Our CNC laser cutting machine guarantees high-quality results.

What areas do you service?
