IndustryNet is the Industrial Marketplace for Sheet Metal Fabrication (Page 1 of 63)
Sheet metal fabrication is a critical industry that involves the transformation of flat sheets of metal into various shapes and structures through cutting, bending, and assembling processes. This industry primarily uses materials such as steel, aluminum, copper, and brass, chosen for their durability, malleability, and resistance to corrosion. The fabrication process begins with cutting, which can be performed using methods like shearing, laser cutting, or plasma cutting to achieve precise dimensions. Bending follows, where machines such as press brakes apply force to shape the metal into desired angles and curves. Assembly involves joining the metal pieces through welding, riveting, or using adhesives, depending on the application requirements. Sheet metal fabrication serves a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, construction, electronics, and HVAC. In the automotive industry, it produces components like body panels and chassis parts. The aerospace sector relies on sheet metal for aircraft skins and structural components. In construction, sheet metal is used for roofing, siding, and ductwork. The electronics industry uses it for enclosures and brackets, while the HVAC industry requires it for duct systems and ventilation components. The industry employs advanced technologies such as computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to enhance precision and efficiency. Automation and robotics play a significant role in increasing production speed and reducing human error. Quality control is essential, with inspections and testing ensuring that fabricated parts meet stringent specifications and standards. Sheet metal fabrication continues to be a vital part of modern manufacturing, providing essential components and structures across various sectors.

According to IndustryNet's survey of 6,517 Tennessee manufacturers, factory employment in the Volunteer state inched up over the past year, with more than 3,000 new jobs created between October 2016 and October 2017. This represents a one percent increase in the state's industrial workforce, and stands as the sixth straight year Tennessee has added industrial jobs.
Yet, for the first time in several years, job gains were not led by the auto industry, as declining sales in 2017 put a damper on production.
A thriving transportation equipment industry is what led Tennessee's remarkable turnaround in the years following the recession, with employment in that sector growing by 32% between 2011 and 2016, according to IndustryNet data. The past year, however, found the industry at a stands...(Full Article)

Finding the right sheet metal fabricator for your budget: the essential checklist
Wednesday, September 13, 2017
When looking for a sheet metal fabricator for your company's needs, it's important to do some research and ask the right questions. Many shops have similar approaches, but have different services or unique processes that others do not. Remember, it's not just about getting a good price; it's about finding the right fabricator to fit all your needs, including quality, service and delivery.
Here are some things to consider as you begin your search:
Ask about the manufacturer's techniques and different metals used. Matching your needs to their capabilities is more likely to ensure that you get the product you want and within your budget. For example, say you're seeking metal fabrication for a duct system. Instead of hunting down individual parts made by a couple different manufactures, ...(Full Article)
