Sheet Metal Fabrication Services for Custom Parts

we can supply any quantity of sheet metal parts, from low-volume prototypes to high-volume production. Marchton automation provide precision and fast delivery.

Laser Cutting

Laser cutting uses a focused laser beam to cut, etch, or engrave materials, vaporizing or melting them for precise edges and complex patterns based on designer specifications.

Bending

Bending applies a force to a thin sheet of metal to shape it into various geometries, like U-shape, V-shape, or channel shape. The thickness of the metal can vary.

Welding

Welding is the process of joining two or more metal pieces using heat, pressure, or both to form a strong bond. It combines skill and precision to create durable, sturdy metal structures.

Punching

Punching uses a punch tool to create holes or shapes by forcing it through a die, cutting the metal with a shearing action for precise, clean results in fabrication.

Riveting

Riveting is a semi-permanent joining method using mechanical fasteners (rivets) to connect sheet metal parts. It’s faster and much cost-effective than welding.

Stamping

Stamping uses dies and presses to shape flat metal sheets into different forms, creating complex, three-dimensional designs through cold-forming techniques.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are your CNC machining capabilities and tolerances?

We specialize in multi-axis CNC machining (3-axis, 4-axis, 5-axis) and can achieve standard tolerances of ±0.02mm (±0.001″), with tighter tolerances available upon request. We work with a wide range of metals and engineering plastics.

What file formats do you accept for quoting?

We accept STEP, IGES, X_T, SLDPRT, and DWG/DXF files. 2D drawings with critical dimensions and tolerances are highly recommended alongside 3D files for accurate and efficient quotation.

What is your typical lead time for CNC machining parts?

Lead time depends on part complexity and order quantity. Standard prototypes can be delivered in 5-10 business days. For production runs, typical lead time is 2-4 weeks. Rush services are available for urgent projects.

Do you provide surface finishing and secondary operations?

Yes. We offer a full suite of post-processing services including anodizing, powder coating, plating, polishing, sandblasting, heat treatment, and assembly. We can deliver parts ready for final use.

What is your quality control process?

We implement strict quality control at every stage: from material certification, in-process inspections (IPQC) to final quality checks using tools like CMM, calipers, and micrometers. First Article Inspection (FAI) reports and material certifications are provided with shipments.

How do you handle intellectual property (IP) and confidentiality?

Client IP protection is our top priority. We are willing to sign Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and have secure data management systems in place. Your drawings and designs will never be shared with third parties.
