Sheet Metal Engineering

Experienced Sheet Metal Engineers - At Your Service

The Engineering Department at Precision Machine Fabrication is made up of experienced sheet metal engineers and fabricators. They are the driving force behind production. Every customer order starts, and is tracked through the manufacturing process, by this group. Working with an array of software, our engineers can import customer-supplied CAD files from almost any software on the market. Our sheet metal engineering team also frequently works one-on-one with customers to develop or enhance their design and point out any cost saving opportunities.

Sheet Metal Process Design and Engineering

Once a customer has supplied the proper design specifications and an order is placed, every phase of production is planned and tied to a specific job. Our E2 Shop Systems MRP software checks inventory and work in process before creating requirements for new sheet metal parts and raw materials. Then, a job traveler is printed which follows each job throughout production. This traveler contains a bar code corresponding to each step of manufacturing, which production team members use to clock onto and off of jobs. Our sheet metal engineers can access this information to track the status of jobs in process, and the time studies that result help to provide more accurate quoting. 

Streamlining Sheet Metal Fabrication in the Digital Age

Our sheet metal shop is equipped with a number of computer workstations, enabling our production team to access the CNC programs and inspection files created by our sheet metal engineers. Our paperless e-file database allows our sheet metal fabricators to access electronic drawing files of the part that they are making, directly from our network server. These drawing and program files are linked to the proper job, so they are available at the touch of a button.

Precision Sheet Metal Fabrication

Precision is at the core of our sheet metal fabrication process. Our engineering team at Precision Machine Fabrication utilizes advanced equipment and proven techniques to transform your designs into high-quality components that meet exact specifications. Our experienced custom sheet metal fabricators work in close collaboration with our engineers, ensuring meticulous attention to detail at every stage, from cutting and bending to welding and finishing. Whether you require simple prototypes or complex assemblies, we have the expertise to deliver sheet metal components that meet the most stringent tolerances.
