Questions

Sheet metal FAQ

Is there a minimum charge for a small sheet metal job?

There can be. Liva Forming in Delta quotes a flat shop minimum on small jobs, usually $75 to $150. Bend complexity and custom dies change it. Ask Richmond shops for theirs.

What files should I send for bent parts?

Send a STEP model and a PDF drawing with sizes and tolerances. Ask whether the shop needs a flat pattern too.

Can I ask for a single prototype?

Yes. Include the quantity in your request and ask about setup charges. Confirm that the shop takes small jobs before bringing parts.

What finish should I request?

Say where the part will be used and name any required coating. Mark threads, holes and contact points that need masking.

Good to know

  • Send a model for bent parts and mark the dimensions that matter.
  • No Richmond shop we checked posts prices for this. The minimum here is from a Delta shop.
