FAQ

Sheet Metal Fabrication — frequently asked questions

What is sheet metal prototyping?
Sheet metal prototyping is the process of turning flat sheets of metal into functional parts through cutting, bending and forming, used to test a design before committing to production tooling. ProtoAnything produces sheet metal prototypes directly from uploaded CAD files, delivering functional parts in days rather than months across the UK, Sweden and Europe.
What sheet metal fabrication processes does ProtoAnything offer?
ProtoAnything offers laser cutting, bending and folding, forming, welding and finishing for sheet metal parts. These processes are combined as needed depending on part geometry, from simple brackets to welded assemblies. Upload a CAD file for a free instant quote and DFM feedback specific to your design.
What materials can you use for sheet metal prototypes?
ProtoAnything works with steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass and copper for sheet metal prototypes across the UK, Sweden and Europe. Material choice depends on strength, corrosion resistance, weight and finishing requirements for the application. Upload a CAD file for a free quote that reflects the material and process best suited to your part.
How much does a sheet metal prototype cost?
The cost of a sheet metal prototype depends on part geometry, material, thickness and the processes required, such as cutting, bending or welding. ProtoAnything provides a free, real-time quote generated directly from an uploaded CAD file, with no minimum order and DFM feedback included, serving customers across the UK, Sweden and Europe. Upload a STEP, IGES, SLDPRT or STL file to get exact pricing.
How fast can you deliver sheet metal prototypes?
ProtoAnything can deliver sheet metal prototypes in as little as one day, with most parts produced in days rather than months. With 400 machines and 500 manufacturing professionals working seven days a week across the UK, Sweden and Europe, exact turnaround depends on part complexity and quantity. Upload a CAD file for an instant quote with a confirmed lead time.
What's the difference between sheet metal prototyping and production?
Sheet metal prototyping validates a design's fit, form and function using the same materials and processes as production, but in small quantities and without hard tooling. ProtoAnything supports both stages, taking parts from a single prototype through small to medium production batches with no minimum order requirement. This lets engineers test and iterate before committing to volume manufacturing.
Can you make custom or low-volume sheet metal parts?
Yes, ProtoAnything makes custom, low-volume sheet metal parts with no minimum order requirement, using laser cutting, bending, forming and welding across steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass and copper. Parts are produced across the UK, Sweden and Europe with turnaround as fast as one day. Upload a CAD file for a free instant quote and DFM feedback.
