Capabilities in Custom Sheet Metal Fabrication
Eagle Magnetic takes pride in the highest quality of sheet metal fabrication. Capabilities for precision forming, bending, punching, and polishing brings the best of the best as customers. Through quick lead times and high expectations for on-time delivery, no order is too challenging. With over 50 years of experience, there is not much that Eagle Magnetic has not seen. Our fabrication capabilities include:
- Precision Forming
- CNC Bending
- Punching and Laser Cutting Support
- Brushing, Polishing, and Surface Prep
- Fabrication of Mild Steel, Stainless Steel, Nickel Alloys, and MuMetal
Some parts begin as simple flat patterns. Others need tight-tolerance bending, specialty coatings, or integration with machining and welding. We support both prototypes and production runs, helping select the right material, fabrication method, and setup to match application requirements.
Need Fabrication Support?
If you’re working on a part that requires forming, bending, punching, or a tight-tolerance build, our team can help review the design, material choice, and fabrication setup. We support prototypes, small production runs, and application-specific shielding projects.

FAQs
1. What types of materials can be used in sheet metal fabrication?
Sheet metal fabrication commonly uses carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, nickel alloys, and MuMetal. The material choice depends on strength, corrosion resistance, formability, and whether magnetic shielding is needed.
2. What is the difference between forming and bending in metal fabrication?
Forming refers to shaping sheet metal into a new geometry without removing material. Bending is a specific type of forming used to create straight, angled features such as brackets, panels, or housings.
3. Is sheet metal fabrication a good option for prototypes or smaller production runs?
Yes. Sheet metal fabrication is ideal for prototypes and low-volume production. It allows engineers to adjust dimensions, test material behavior, and refine designs before scaling up to larger manufacturing runs.
4. How are surface finishes handled after fabrication?
Fabricated parts can be brushed, polished, sanded, or coated. These finishing options improve appearance, corrosion resistance, and overall durability depending on material and application needs.
5. What information is needed to begin a fabrication project?
Fabrication typically begins with drawings or CAD files, material specifications, tolerance requirements, thickness details, and any finishing or coating instructions required for the final part.
