About Us

Designing for sheet metal fabrication requires careful consideration of a number of factors. At GLORY Machinery Equipment, we have over 20 years of experience in sheet metal fabrication and can help you avoid costly mistakes.

Sheet metal fabrication is a manufacturing process that involves cutting and bending sheet metal to create various parts and products. There are many factors to consider when designing for sheet metal fabrication, such as the material thickness, the kerf (the width of the cut), the bend radius, and the spacing of holes.

Wall thickness is an important factor to consider when determining the overall strength and durability of the part. Additionally, laser cutting and bending are two common sheet metal fabrication processes, so it is important to design parts with these processes in mind.

Laser cutting is a popular sheet metal fabrication method due to its precision and versatility. When designing parts to be laser cut, it is important to add fillets to the corners to create a smooth finish. Additionally, the kerf, or width of the cut, should be taken into consideration when designing parts. It is also important to specify hole diameters that are larger than the sheet thickness to account for the kerf.

Adding fillets to the corners of your design can create a smoother finish. It is also important to consider the kerf, or the width of the cut, when designing for laser cutting. Specifying hole diameters that are larger than the sheet thickness can help prevent tearing and deformation. Holes should also be spaced at least 2 times the sheet thickness apart.

Bending is another common sheet metal fabrication process. When designing parts that will be bent, it is important to consider the K-factor. The K-factor is a number that represents the degree of deformation that will occur when a part is bent. Additionally, it is important to keep the interior bend radii at least as large as the material thickness to avoid tearing.

By taking these factors into account, you can design parts that will be easy and cost-effective to fabricate using sheet metal fabrication.
