China metal cutting and bending services are a high-precision, high-efficiency sheet metal processing technology. A high-power laser beam illuminates the workpiece, rapidly melting or vaporizing the material. Simultaneously, a high-speed airflow blows away the melted or vaporized material, achieving precise cutting. Due to its fast cutting speed, narrow kerf, and minimal heat-affected zone, laser cutting is widely used in processing a variety of metal materials.

In the field of China custom sheet metal bending, there are many different types of operations, each playing a unique role in transforming sheet metal into a variety of practical products.

Houdry, a China laser cutting and bending factory, begins sheet metal cutting and bending with blanking. This initial step in sheet metal fabrication aims to cut large sheets of metal into the desired shape and size according to design requirements. Common blanking methods include shearing, laser cutting, and CNC punching. Shearing is ideal for straight-line cutting of sheet metal, quickly and efficiently cutting large sheets to the desired width and length. It is often used for high-volume blanking where precision is not a priority.

Welcome to Houdry! We are a professional China sheet metal fabrication supplier. The factory is located in Suzhou, China, covering an area of 50,000 square meters. We currently have four professional sheet metal manufacturing centers and a professional R&D base. The business scope is mainly precision molds, laser cutting, stamping, machining, bending, welding, spraying and other manufacturing processes.

Since its establishment in 2008, the founder started a hard business with one machine and one worker. After nearly 20 years of unremitting efforts, the company currently has a total of 405 employees, including 30 R&D engineers, 25 process engineers and 8 quality engineers.

Houdry has always been committed to providing customers with high-quality, high-precision and high-efficiency sheet metal processing service solutions to meet all-round needs from prototype development to mass production. At present, Houdry customers are spread across more than 30 countries around the world, and its products cover home appliances, furniture, medical, automotive and new energy fields.

As a China stainless steel sheetmetal fabrication supplier, Houdry is well aware that excellent quality, rigorous process and responsibility for the environment and safety are the core of sustainable development.

1. What is your typical lead time for sheet metal fabrication projects?

Standard lead times range from 5–15 business days after design approval, depending on project complexity, material availability, and order volume. Rush services may be available for urgent requests—contact our team for expedited options.

2. What materials do you work with for sheet metal fabrication?

We process a wide range of materials, including:• Mild Steel • Stainless Steel (304/316) • Aluminum (5052, 6061) • Copper • Brass • Galvanized SteelCustom material requests can be accommodated—inquire for specific alloys or thicknesses.

3. What file formats do you accept for part design?

We prefer industry-standard formats for seamless processing:• Preferred: .STEP, .IGES, .DXF/DWG (2D drawings)• Accepted: .SLDPRT, .PDF (with dimensions)Design support (DFM feedback) is available upon request to optimize manufacturability.

4. How do you ensure quality control in your fabrication process?

All parts undergo rigorous quality checks, including:• In-process inspections • Dimensional verification (with CMM/laser scanning) • Surface finish review • Final compliance with ISO 9001 standardsCertified material test reports (MTRs) and inspection documentation are provided upon request.

5. Do you offer design for manufacturability (DFM) feedback?

Yes! We provide complimentary DFM analysis to reduce costs, improve functionality, and streamline production. Share your design files with our engineering team for actionable recommendations on material selection, tolerances, bend radii, and efficiency optimizations.
