Available Sheet Metal Fabrication Processes at Enze
The laser cutting process refers to using a high-density light beam to cut thin sheet metal, in which CNC helps control either the laser beam or the workpiece. It is ideal for production because of its fast and precise features.
Metal bending is a process that uses dies to generate a shape, U-shape, or channel shape along a straight axis in ductile materials. There are various types of bending in Enze,
1, V-bending
2, U-bending
3, Step bending
4, Roll bending
5, Rotary bending
Drawing involves stamping flat sheet metal into three-dimensional shapes. It uses tensile forces to stretch metal, glass, or plastic. As the metal is drawn, it becomes thinner to attain the desired shape and thickness. There are two types of drawing: sheet metal drawing and wire, bar, and tube drawing.
Sheet metal stamping is a forceful cutting process that removes material from sheet metal.
Waterjet cutting is a manufacturing process that operates a highly pressed of water mixed with an abrasive material to cut various materials, making it a perfect method for ensuring critical performance and aesthetic effects. There are two kinds of waterjet cutting processes:

FAQS
Sheet Metal stamping is a metal forming process involving various actions, including stamping, bending, pressing, folding and stretching. OEM mold are used with punch presses to create the desired shape, pattern, or characteristic of the part. Compared to metal fabrication, stamping generally produces tighter tolerances. It is an efficient and economical method for manufacturing metal parts in large quantities.
The process of metal fabrication involves creating 3D metal parts through cutting, bending, and other assembly techniques. This type of manufacturing typically requires specialized equipment like CNC laser cutting machine, welding tools. Metal fabrication is often more cost-effective when producing items in smaller quantities, as stamping tooling can be expensive. Additionally, fabrication offers more design flexibility since no tooling needs to be changed if alterations is necessary for your part design.
Progressive mold refers to a collection of punch press tools that are specifically created to execute all the necessary punching, cutting, coining, and bending procedures to produce a metal part through a multi-step process. In progressive die stamping, a metal strip passed through every station of the progressive stamping die, with each station performing one or more operations until the part is finished.
If you need complex 3D parts in large quantities , progressive die stamping is an ideal option for manufacturing. This process is speedy and efficient, and it is one of the most affordable manufacturing methods available for large quantities.
The cost of metal fabrication products can vary significantly due to various factors such as project design, technical requirements, and scope. Below are some common factors that impact the cost.
- Material: For example, Aluminium is more expensive than common carbon steel.
- Size: The more metal required, the higher the cost due to its size and thickness.
- Surface treatment: Siver plating, for example, is more expensive than zinc plating.
- Other post-process: for example, polishing can add extra cost
