Sheet metal fabrication is the processing of sheet metal sheets. There are many different processing techniques. The more common sheet metal fabrication techniques include stamping, bending, welding, laser cutting, etc. The thickness of the sheet metal is unchanged during the processing.
Hardware fabrication refers to processing raw materials (stainless steel, paste, aluminum, copper) into various parts by lathe, milling machine, drilling machine, polishing and other machinery according to customer's drawings and samples, such as: various fasteners, keys, motor shafts and other products. Hardware fabrication will change the shape and thickness of raw materials, and generally processed raw materials are relatively thick and small.
