Testimonials/What Our Customers Say About Us
Fantastic work! Our robotics team was hurting for a quick turnaround in aluminum sheet metal and was not let down. We ended up winning the Quality Award at our first event for a fully sheet metal robot. We will definitely be working with PMF in the future.
My experience with PMF was nothing but professional. In my position as a procurement manager, I sometimes have to react at a moment’s notice when the need arises. My initial contact with the team at PMF was extremely helpful, and the subsequent follow-up was near immediate. I look forward to building a relationship where they are a partner that I can count on being there.
We have used PMF for over 10 years. It doesn't matter if it is a prototype or a million-dollar order, the experience has been the same. OUTSTANDING! From engineering to production to shipping, they are the best. We couldn't land the orders we do without their expertise to back us up. Thanks, PMF.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sheet Metal Assembly Services
What is sheet metal assembly?
Sheet metal assembly is the process of joining individual sheet metal components to create a complete product using techniques like welding, fasteners, adhesives, or electro-mechanical integration.
What are common methods used in sheet metal assembly?
PMF uses a variety of techniques including MIG and TIG welding, spot welding, rivets, soldering, and mechanical fastening—each selected based on the part’s structure, function, and durability requirements.
What industries does PMF provide sheet metal assembly services for?
We serve a wide range of industries including aerospace, medical, electronics, construction, agriculture, and industrial manufacturing—delivering everything from lightweight enclosures to large welded frames.
How long do sheet metal assemblies take?
Lead times for sheet metal assemblies vary depending on the scope and complexity of your project. Once we understand your specific requirements, we can provide an accurate estimate. Standard production and shipping typically fall within an 8–10 week window. Expedited delivery options are available upon request.
What types of sheet metal assemblies can you perform?
PMF offers a wide range of sheet metal assembly solutions, from basic welded frames to complex bend-and-weld assemblies and electro-mechanical builds. We routinely produce custom cabinets, enclosures, brackets, and structural frames—all tailored to your specifications.
What are some key design considerations in sheet metal assembly?
When designing a sheet metal assembly, it’s important to consider several factors that may impact lead time, cost, and manufacturability:
- Component availability: Relying on specialty or single-source parts can lead to delays. When possible, opt for flexible or standard components to keep production on schedule.
- Standard vs. custom components: Standard parts can reduce turnaround time, while custom components require more planning and fabrication time.
- Size and scope of assembly: Larger or multi-part assemblies require more raw material, planning, and quality control, all of which can affect cost and timing.
- Complexity: More intricate builds involving sub-assemblies or detailed welds require additional inspection and process control, which may extend production time.
What are the limitations of sheet metal assembly?
While sheet metal is a strong and versatile material, there are some limitations to consider. Availability of specialty components may affect timing, and complex designs can increase costs. Additionally, the focus on precision and quality control can result in longer production timelines compared to simpler fabrication methods.
