Our ServiceSheet Metal Cost and Lead Time Depend on More Than Part Size
Two sheet metal parts with similar dimensions can have very different manufacturing costs and production requirements.
Material, thickness, bend count, welding, hardware, finishing, quantity, and drawing complexity all influence the final quotation and manufacturing route.

Send Sheet Metal RFQ| Material AvailabilitySpecial grades, unusual thicknesses, or uncommon finishes may require additional sourcing time. | Process CountA part requiring cutting, bending, welding, machining, finishing, and assembly naturally has more production stages. |
| Drawing ChangesEngineering revisions during production can affect programming, tooling, or previously completed work. | Secondary SuppliersPlating, anodizing, special coating, or other outsourced processes can influence the overall schedule. |
The lowest unit price does not always come from simply reducing material cost. Bend structure, weld design, hardware choice, finishing requirements, and part consolidation can all influence the total manufacturing effort.
Where appropriate, the drawing can be reviewed to identify unnecessary operations or features that increase fabrication complexity.
