Custom Sheet Metal Fabrication for Industrial OEM Projects

Precision-cut, formed, welded and assembled sheet metal components—from early prototypes to repeat production.

Tianyida manufactures custom sheet metal parts, enclosures, frames and welded assemblies to customer drawings. Our team supports industrial OEM projects that require dependable dimensional control, clean workmanship and consistent execution across multiple manufacturing stages.

Before production begins, we review the material, geometry, bend requirements, tolerances, welding details, finishing specifications and assembly expectations. This engineering-led approach helps identify risk early and creates a clearer path from prototype validation to stable production.

Better Sheet Metal Results Begin Before Production

Material, bend design, tolerance strategy and finishing requirements must work together before the first sheet is cut.

Material and thickness

Confirm the specified grade, thickness, grain or cosmetic requirement and how the material affects forming and welding.

Bend geometry

Review bend radius, flange length, reliefs, hole-to-bend distance and feasible forming sequence.

Tolerance strategy

Separate function-critical dimensions from general tolerances and account for variation introduced by bending and welding.

Joining and assembly

Confirm weld type, hardware, threads, interfaces and access for assembly or downstream operations.

Surface finish

Plan masking, coating thickness, visible surfaces, color, texture and corrosion protection before fabrication.

Production scalability

Ensure the approved prototype process can transition into repeat production with controlled quality.

better sheet metal results begin before production

Sheet metal parts often fail to meet expectations because important relationships were not resolved during design review. A bend may interfere with a hole, a tolerance may be unrealistic after welding, or a coating may change the fit of an assembly.

Our engineering review considers the complete manufacturing route—not only one operation. Questions are raised before production so the drawing, process plan and inspection method can support the part’s functional purpose.

custom sheet metal parts and assemblies built to your drawings

We do not limit projects to a fixed catalogue of products. Our sheet metal fabrication service supports one-off development parts, low-volume assemblies and repeat OEM production across a broad range of shapes and applications.

Each project is evaluated for the complete manufacturing route, including cutting, forming, machining features, welding, hardware installation, finishing and final assembly where required.

Integrated Sheet Metal Fabrication From Cutting to Assembly

One coordinated manufacturing route protects fit, appearance and consistency across every stage of the project.

Laser cutting

Accurate profiles, holes and cutouts produced for subsequent forming, welding or assembly.

CNC punching

Efficient production of repeat features, perforations and formed details where the design is suitable.

Precision bending

Controlled bend sequence and tooling selection for consistent angles, flange positions and part geometry.

Welding

MIG, TIG and specified welding methods applied according to material, structure and appearance requirements.

Hardware and machining features

Tapping, countersinking, riveting, PEM-style hardware insertion and other drawing-specified details.

Assembly and finishing coordination

Fabricated parts can be assembled and supplied with specified surface treatment through a controlled project workflow.

integrated sheet metal fabrication from cutting to assembly

A successful fabricated product is rarely created by one machine. Cutting accuracy, bend sequence, weld control, hardware placement and finishing quality all affect how the final assembly fits and performs.

Tianyida coordinates these operations as one project, with process and inspection requirements defined from the drawing before production.

Sheet Metal Materials Chosen for Performance and Manufacturability

Material grade and thickness influence forming, welding, corrosion resistance, weight, finish and total production cost.

Stainless steel

Suitable for corrosion-resistant equipment, enclosures and fabricated assemblies. Grade, surface condition, weld appearance and passivation requirements should be specified.

Carbon steel

A strong and cost-effective option for brackets, frames, structures and industrial equipment, typically combined with a protective finish.

Aluminum

Lightweight and corrosion resistant, with good forming potential. Alloy, temper, cosmetic surface and welding requirements affect process selection.

Galvanized steel

Used for cabinets, ducting and industrial components requiring additional corrosion protection; cut edges and welding areas require consideration.

Copper and brass

Selected for conductivity, shielding and specialized applications. Surface protection and handling requirements should be defined.

Other specified materials

Additional sheet materials can be evaluated from the drawing, material standard, required quantity and application conditions.

sheet metal materials chosen for performance and manufacturability

We process common industrial sheet materials according to customer drawings and specifications. The exact grade, condition and thickness should be confirmed before quotation because materials with a similar general name can behave differently during cutting, bending and welding.

Where material selection is still open, our engineering team can discuss practical manufacturing considerations based on the application and required finish.

Welded Assemblies Controlled for Strength, Fit and Appearance

Welding quality is not only the appearance of the bead—it is the complete control of joint design, distortion, dimensions and final assembly.

Joint and weld review

Weld symbols, joint access, penetration, appearance and post-weld requirements are clarified before work begins.

Fixture planning

Parts are located and supported to protect critical dimensions and repeatable alignment during welding.

Distortion management

Weld sequence, heat input and intermediate checks help control movement and reduce unnecessary correction.

Cosmetic workmanship

Visible welds, grinding and blending requirements are agreed according to the drawing and final product expectations.

Hardware and subassembly integration

Fasteners, inserts, hinges, panels and fabricated subassemblies are installed according to the assembly plan.

Final fit verification

Critical interfaces, hole patterns, overall dimensions and assembly function are checked before finishing or delivery.

welded assemblies controlled for strength, fit and appearance

Heat input and weld sequence can change the geometry of a sheet metal assembly. Without the right fixtures and checkpoints, individual parts may meet their drawings while the finished structure no longer fits its mating components.

Our welding and assembly planning considers material, joint access, structural requirements, visible surfaces, dimensional interfaces and downstream finishing. Fixtures and inspection points are used as appropriate to maintain repeatable assembly quality.

Surface Finishes Selected for Protection, Function and Appearance

The correct finish depends on material, environment, assembly interfaces and cosmetic expectations—not color alone.

Powder coating

Durable color and corrosion protection for enclosures, frames and industrial equipment; specify color standard, texture and gloss.

Anodizing

Common for aluminum parts requiring corrosion protection, wear resistance or a controlled appearance.

Zinc plating

Protective metallic coating often used for carbon-steel brackets, hardware and industrial components.

Passivation

Supports the corrosion resistance of stainless-steel components after fabrication and suitable cleaning.

Brushing and polishing

Creates a defined directional or polished appearance for visible stainless-steel and aluminum surfaces.

Project-specific finishes

Painting, black oxide, electropolishing and other treatments can be coordinated when clearly specified and technically suitable.

surface finishes selected for protection, function and appearance

Surface finishing can protect against corrosion, improve cleanability, provide electrical or wear-related properties and create a consistent appearance. It can also add coating thickness or affect threads, grounding points and tight-fit areas.

Finishing requirements are therefore reviewed before fabrication. Masking, visible faces, texture, color standard, gloss level and certificate requirements should be identified on the drawing or RFQ.

Controlled Quality From First Article to Final Packing

Reliable sheet metal production requires dimensional checks, workmanship standards and clear control of every outsourced finish.

Drawing and specification control

Current drawings, revisions, materials, finishes and acceptance requirements are confirmed for production.

Incoming material verification

Material identification and applicable documentation are checked according to the agreed project requirements.

First-article inspection

Initial parts or assemblies are verified before continued production or customer approval where required.

In-process checkpoints

Critical dimensions, bends, weldments and assembly interfaces are monitored at the appropriate manufacturing stage.

Final quality verification

Dimensions, appearance, hardware, coating and workmanship are inspected using suitable measuring equipment.

Packing and delivery control

Finished products are separated, protected and packed to reduce scratching, deformation and transit damage.

controlled quality from first article to final packing

Quality is planned around the drawing and the way the product will assemble and function. Critical dimensions may require different inspection methods before bending, after welding and again after finishing.

Our process combines first-article verification, in-process checks and 100% outgoing inspection. Final parts are cleaned, protected and packed according to their size, surface condition and delivery requirements.
