Our sheet metal manufacturing encompasses a full range of processes, including cutting, bending, punching, rolling, stretching, forming, laser cutting, welding, assembly, and more. This comprehensive set of techniques allows us to quickly process complex sheet metal shapes.
Laser cutting and plasma cutting are capable of cutting a variety of materials, including various metal alloys, composite materials, leather, wood, and fibers, among others. They are known for their high cutting speed and quality.
Stamping and cutting can be divided into shearing, blanking, punching, cutting, notching, and slitting, and are commonly used for direct processing of bicycle chainwheels, instrument gears, as well as silicon steel sheets in electrical appliances and connectors in integrated circuits.
Sheet metal bending is used to shape steel, stainless steel, aluminum parts, and custom sheet metal prototypes after the cutting process. It can transform flat sheet metal pieces into various forms such as V-shapes, U-shapes, or grooves.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I needed a large quantity of these injection molding parts with average quality requirements. I weighed the factors of price, quality, and delivery speed, and ultimately chose this company for manufacturing. I have already started receiving the shipments in batches, and the results are very satisfactory. It was the right decision.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I only needed 200,000 units of this stamped part, and locally, the cost would have been quite high. So, I considered manufacturing in China. I quickly received the shipments in batches and am very satisfied with the price, quality, and delivery speed.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I thought the components I needed were very complex and required high standards, but my budget was limited, so I considered having them made in China. However, after receiving the goods, I was pleasantly surprised by the manufacturing quality of the company. Maybe I should reconsider my perception of Chinese manufacturing.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I customized several highly complex parts in China, and I initially had concerns about whether they could deliver, but I quickly received the parts I needed. Some of them are already installed, and they work perfectly. It was a very satisfying shopping experience.

Sheet metal processing refers to a metalworking process that involves shaping thin metal sheets (typically steel, aluminum, stainless steel, etc.) into various parts and components through a series of manufacturing steps. These processes may include cutting, stamping, bending, welding, assembly, and more. Sheet metal processing is commonly used for manufacturing metal parts, enclosures, panels, chassis, and other components. It offers high precision, versatility, and complexity, making it suitable for a wide range of industries such as automotive, electronics, appliances, construction, and more. This method is often employed to produce custom parts and prototypes due to its ability to achieve high-precision metal shaping at relatively low costs.
Shared-Factory provides a wide range of sheet metal processing services, capable of manufacturing nearly any parts you require
| Processes | Description | Thickness | Cutting Area |
| Laser Cutting | Laser cutting is a thermal cutting process that uses high-power laser to cut metals. | Up to 50 mm | Up to 4000 x 6000 mm |
| Plasma Cutting | CNC plasma cutting is suitable for cutting thicker sheet metals. | Up to 50 mm | Up to 4000 x 6000 mm |

By default, sharp edges will be broken and deburred. For any critical edges that must be left sharp, please note and specify them in your drawing.
Corrosion resistance is the primary distinction between stainless steel and regular steel, with all stainless steels containing at least 10.5% chromium. The addition of chromium makes these steels more corrosion-resistant. Different grades of this material contain various alloying elements that can further enhance corrosion resistance, heat treatment capabilities, and machining properties.
Primary Application Industries: Medical, automotive, aerospace, robotics, automation, and machinery.
Subtypes:Stainless Steel 15-5，Stainless Steel 17-4，Stainless Steel 18-8，Stainless Steel 303，Stainless Steel 304，Stainless Steel 316，Stainless Steel 416，Stainless Steel 420，Stainless Steel 440C，Stainless Steel 410
During the CNC machining process, visible tool marks may be left on the surface as material is removed to create the desired shape. Typically, some post-processing is required to address this issue. There are various types of surface treatments available, each serving different purposes. At Shared-Factory, we offer a range of common surface treatments aimed at enhancing both functionality and aesthetics.
| Name | Description | Materials | Color | Texture | Link |
 | Anodizing | Anodizing improves corrosion resistance, enhancing wear resistance and hardness, and protecting the metal surface. Widely used in mechanical parts, aircraft, and automobile parts, precision instruments, etc. | Aluminum | Clear, black, grey, red, blue, gold. | Smooth, matte finish. | Learn More>> |
 | Bead Blasting | Bead blasting results in parts with a smooth surface with a matte texture. Used mainly for visual applications and can be followed by other surface treatments. | ABS, Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel | n/a | Matte | Learn More>> |
 | Powder Coating | Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint which is delivered via an evaporating solvent, powder coating is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light. | Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Steel | Black, any RAL code or Pantone number | Gloss or semi-gloss | Learn More>> |
 | Electroplating | Electroplating can be functional, decorative or corrosion-related. Many industries use the process, including the automotive sector, in which chrome-plating of steel automobile parts is common. | Aluminum, steel, stainless steel | n/a | Smooth, glossy finish | Learn More>> |
 | Polishing | Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface, either through physical rubbing of the part or by chemical interference. The process produces a surface with significant specular reflection, but in some materials is able to reduce diffuse reflection. | Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel | n/a | Glossy | Learn More>> |
 | Brushing | Brushing is a surface treatment process in which abrasive belts are used to draw traces on the surface of a material, usually for aesthetic purposes. | ABS, Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel | n/a | satin | Learn More>> |
