Precision sheet metal forming transforms flat metal into accurate, high-performance components used in a wide range of applications. PMF specializes in forming everything from simple brackets to complex geometries—delivering production-ready parts that meet the tight tolerances and quality standards demanded by today’s industries.
Precision Sheet Metal Forming Process
At PMF, our precision sheet metal forming process transforms flat metal stock into functional, high-performance components through a combination of advanced equipment and expert technique. We work directly from your provided designs and specifications, customizing each project to meet exact requirements—whether you’re producing a prototype or scaling up for high-volume manufacturing.
Our step-by-step forming process includes:
- Material Selection: We select the right metal based on the strength, weight, and performance needs of your application.
- Cutting & Punching: CNC laser cutters and turret punches deliver accurate, repeatable part profiles.
- Forming: Precision press brakes shape the material with tight tolerances and consistent angles.
- Finishing: We offer surface treatments such as deburring and powder coating for improved durability and appearance.
- Quality Control: Inspections are conducted at multiple stages to ensure every part meets your specifications.
This flexible and repeatable process ensures the highest levels of accuracy, fit, and functionality—so your components are production-ready and built to last.

Testimonials
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.
