● Durability
Similar to CNC machining, sheet metal processes produce highly durable parts well-suited for both functional prototypes and end-use production.
● Material Selection
Choose from a variety of sheet metals across a wide range of strength, conductivity, weight, and corrosion-resistance.
● Rapid Turnaround
Combining the latest cutting, bending and punching with automated technologies, Andea provides instant sheet quotes and completed parts in as little 12 business days.
● 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.
● Custom Finishes
Select from a variety of finishes, including anodizing, plating, powder coating, and painting.
Advantages of Sheet Metal Fabrication
How Sheet Metal Fabrication Works
● Material Removal: During this stage, the raw workpiece is cut to the desired shape. There are many types of tools and machining processes that can remove metal from the workpiece.
● Material Deformation (forming): The raw metal piece is bent or formed into a 3D shape without removing any material. There are many types of processes that can shape the workpiece.
● Assembling: The completed product may be assembled from several processed workpieces.
● Many facilities offer finishing services as well. Finishing processes are usually necessary before a sheet metal-derived product is ready for the market.
There are 3 common stages in the sheet metal fabrication process, all of which can be completed with various types of fabrication tools.

Materials
Custom Finishing Services
Standard
Minimal post-processing or treatment on parts is done.
Bead Blast
The part surface is left with a smooth, matte appearance.
Anodize (Type II Or Type III)
Type II (MIL-A-8625, Type II) creates a corrosion-resistant finish. Parts can be anodized in different colors—clear, black, red, and gold are most common—and is usually associated with aluminum. Type III (MIL-A-8625, Type III, Class 1/2 "hardcoat") is thicker and creates a wear-resistant layer in addition to the corrosion resistance seen with Type II.
Chem Film (Chromate Conversion Coating)
Provides corrosion resistance and good conductivity properties. Can be used as a base for paint. Can leave surface yellow/gold. Adds very little thickness, about 0.00001”-0.00004”. Chem film will conform to MIL-DTL-5541, TYPE I/II.
Powder Coat
This is a process where powdered paint is sprayed onto a part that is then baked in an oven. This creates a strong, wear- and corrosion-resistant layer that is more durable than standard painting methods. A wide variety of colors are available to create the desired aesthetic.
Electroless Nickel Plating
Provides uniform nickel coating which offers protection from corrosion, oxidation, and wear on irregular surfaces. The finished part will be brighter. Thickness starts at .0001”. Conforms toMIL-C-26074.
Gold Plating
Gold Plating provides good corrosion and tarnish resistance with excellent solderability. Default application specification is MIL-G-45204 & ASTM B488, CLASS 00, 0, OR 1 (THICKNESS 0.00002" - 0.00005").
Silver Plating
Silver offers high solderability and electrical conductivity but is susceptible to tarnish. Conforms to AMS QQ-S-365D. Thickness is about.00002”-.0003”.

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.
Brackets – Andea 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.
