Metal Fabrication Services
At DFS Acrylics and Metal, we utilize metal for its unparalleled ability to withstand stress and wear, ensuring longevity in every project.
At DFS Acrylics and Metal, we specialize in precision sheet metal fabrication, a subtractive manufacturing process that transforms flat metal sheets into durable, high-performance parts. Known for their strength and accuracy, sheet metal components are ideal for structural and functional applications such as chassis, enclosures, mounting brackets, and custom assemblies.
Whether you’re developing a prototype or scaling up to full production, DFS provides fast, reliable, and cost-effective fabrication solutions based on your 3D CAD files or engineering drawings.
We work with a wide range of high-quality materials including aluminum, copper, mild steel, and stainless steel, and offer expert assembly services like PEM insert installation, welding, and a variety of finishing options.
Our extensive fabrication network allows us to support both low-volume custom work and high-volume production runs with competitive pricing and responsive lead times. Every quote includes transparent pricing, with no hidden fees or surprise tariffs—just quality you can count on.
What is Sheet Metal Forming?
Sheet metal forming is a manufacturing process that transforms flat sheet stock into three-dimensional parts through a series of precise, progressive steps. At DFS Acrylics and Metal, we begin with flat metal sheets that are cut and shaped into their final form using advanced fabrication techniques.
The process typically starts with cutting or blanking, where high-precision tools such as shears, laser cutters, waterjets, plasma cutters, or punch presses are used to define the part’s internal features and outer profile. This is a crucial step in preparing the material for accurate forming.
Once the blank is created, it moves to the forming stage, where it’s shaped using specialized tools—most commonly a brake press. This equipment can be either manual or CNC-controlled and utilizes die inserts to create specific bends and angles, turning flat material into functional 3D components. From simple brackets to intricate custom shapes, sheet metal forming allows for multi-directional bends and complex geometries, often using custom tooling for precise results.
Because the tooling can be reused, sheet metal forming is highly efficient for both prototyping and large-scale production, offering consistent quality and cost-effectiveness at any volume.
