Applications for Sheet Metal
Enclosures
Sheet metal offers a cost-effective way to fabricate product device panels, boxes and cases for a variety of applications. We build enclosures of all styles, including rackmounts, “U” and “L” shapes, as well as consoles and consolets.
Chassis
The chassis we fabricate are typically used to house electromechanical controls, from small handheld devices to large industrial testing equipment. All chassis are built to critical dimensions to ensure hole pattern alignment between different parts.
Production Parts
SyncFab builds custom brackets and miscellaneous sheet metal components, well-suited for either lightweight applications or when a high degree of corrosion-resistance is needed. All hardware and fasteners that are needed can be fully built in.
Sheet Metal for Industrial Applications
Manufacturers producing complex, critical, and precision products rely on Sheet Metal capabilities to deliver
the parts needed at the highest quality, greatest speed, and best comparable price.
Working with experienced and certified Sheet Metal machine shops provides a wide range of manufacturers,
in a variety of industries, with the high-quality components required.
What is Plasma Cutting?
Advantages of Sheet Metal Fabrication
Durability
Similar to CNC machining, sheet metal processes produce highly durable parts well-suited for both functional prototypes and end-use production.
Scalability
All sheet metal parts are built on-demand and with lower setup costs compared to CNC Machining. Depending on your needs, order as little as a single prototype up to 10,000 production parts.
Material Selection
Choose from a variety of sheet metals across a wide range of strength, conductivity, weight, and corrosion-resistance.
Custom Finishes
Select from a variety of finishes, including anodizing, plating, powder coating, and painting.
Rapid Turnaround
Combining the latest cutting, bending and punching with automated technologies, SyncFab provides instant sheet quotes and completed parts in as little 12 business days.
Supply Chain Cybersecurity
Benefit from Advanced Industry Cybersecurity Protection for your Uploads and Supplier Incentive Programs for Complex RFQs available only through SyncFab
How can I find a quality Plasma Cutting supplier?
SyncFab’s custom plasma cutting service offers a cost-effective on-demand fabrication solution for your sheet metal needs. We provide pricing for any size fabrication run from low-volume prototyping to high-volume production.
The Basics Of Plasma Cutters
Plasma cutting uses an accelerated jet of hot plasma to cut through electrically conductive materials. Plasma cutters are the fastest way to cut through gauge material up to 6″ thick and are more cost-efficient to run than high-powered CNC laser cutters. Plasma cutters do their best work on large sheet metal parts, versus CNC laser cutters which are better at more detailed work and creating holes — something plasma cutters struggle with.
How Plasma Cutters Work
When energy and heat are applied to a gas, the molecules travel faster and collide more violently, turning the gas into a plasma. Using compressed air or other inert gas, the plasma is accelerated out of the cutting nozzle toward the workpiece where it completes an electrical arc with the conductive workpiece. Similar to Electrical Discharge Machines, plasma cutters use electricity to melt and cut the workpiece. Sheet metal offers a cost-effective way to fabricate product device panels, boxes and cases for a variety of applications. We build enclosures of all styles, including rackmounts, “U” and “L” shapes, as well as consoles and consolets.
