Custom sheet metal fabrication in El Paso is one of the best ways to use sheet metal to complete a wide range of projects. Because you're customizing the sheet metal to your needs, you can use it for anything from structural supports to beams to HVAC ducts to anything else you can think of.
However, while customization makes sheet metal fabrication a valuable asset, it's possible to miss the mark and end up with a custom piece that you can't use for anything. Luckily, All Precision Sheet Metal Works is here to help. Contact us online or call (915) 781-7074 to learn more.
Not Being Detailed Enough
One of the biggest issues people make with sheet metal fabrication design plans is not making them detailed enough. It's essential to have detailed and accurate prints to ensure your piece gets designed properly. Therefore, be sure to double and triple-check your prints before sending them to us.
Having Too Many Details
The flip side of the coin is that you can also include too many details in your prints. While it's important to include everything you need down to the finest point, having too many moving parts or overdesigning your project is overkill and could lead to issues down the road.
Overtightening the Radius
The ability to bend and twist sheet metal is one of the things that makes it so popular. However, sheet metal has limits as to how much you can bend it. If you try to bend or overtighten the radius points, it could lead to cracking and other issues. Be sure to know the limits of your sheet metal before you send it in for customization.
Improper Locating of Holes and Fasteners
Once you make holes or connect fasteners to your sheet metal, it's extremely difficult, if not impossible, to change them. Therefore, make sure all of your holes, fasteners, and other features are in the right place.
Not Leaving Enough Space Around Bends
In the same way that overtightening the radius can lead to cracking and other issues, it can also put holes, fasteners, and other features too close to bends.
Choosing the Wrong Finish
Depending on the intended use for your sheet metal, you will need to add a custom finish to it. Be sure to choose the right one to avoid expensive repairs and refinishing.
Choosing the Wrong Sheet Metal
Choosing the right sheet metal for the job is even more important than choosing the right finish. There are many different types of sheet metal, and they have different levels of strength, malleability, workability, and corrosion resistance.
