Metal Fabrication
From healthcare to energy, every industry needs metals to function. Sheet metal is used universally as the basis for all necessary ideas, and we’re the specialists who bend, stamp, weld, and (for lack of a better word) fabricate the pieces you need for your project. In a nutshell, we’re here to build you up.
Custom fabrication isn’t a skill you’re born with—it’s earned with training, hard work, and experience. At Sanders Metal Products, we appreciate the value of great custom metal fabrication more than the average Joe. We’ve been doing it for over 30 years.
Engineering
Engineering and structural design are two capabilities that help make us a full-service shop. We have 4 engineers on staff to get your ideas down on paper. No matter the size, we turn your loose conceptions into cold, hard, metal that fits whatever you need it for. Our engineers are proficient in CAD and other design programs.
Metal Cutting
Metal cutting is a required when it comes to fabrication—it’s the practice of shaping metals to use as parts for a whole idea. This can be done a couple different ways, but the most common cutting techniques include shearing and sawing. But, we’re proud to provide our advanced laser, plasma, and waterjet cutting capabilities in addition to shearing and sawing.
Laser cutting and waterjet cutting are popular by demand because they’re incredibly accurate. The machines we use can cut through all types of metals, including steels, aluminum, bronze, copper, and more. The power of these machines is incredible, slicing through up to 6 inches of metal at a time. It’s like cutting through butter. We know we can take whatever hunk of metal you throw at us.
