Norck’s sheet-metal fabrication service turns flat metal stock into finished, production-ready parts through an end-to-end workflow of fiber-laser cutting for crisp, precise patterns, CNC press-brake bending for exact geometries, and skilled welding or mechanical fastening for durable assembly - ideal for enclosures, panels, brackets, and chassis components.
Sheet metal fabrication transforms flat sheets of metal into finished parts through three main processes. Norck’s sheet metal fabrication services leverage precision laser cutting to produce exact flat patterns. They will then use a press brake to form the parts into the shape you need. Lastly, they will either weld or fasten and assemble your parts to form a finished enclosure, panel, bracket, or chassis.
1. Precision laser cutting : Laser cutting is a method of cutting flat sheets of metal into exact patterns using a focused laser beam light source. Laser cutting is extremely precise and produces a very clean cut edge.
2. Press brake bending: Press brake bending is done by applying a tested amount of force to the sheet of cut metal to bend along a straight line. Press brake bending also accounts for angles and obtaining the exact desired form.
3. Welding or fastening: This is the method of either welding or fastening bent and cut pieces together. Welding is a technique to fuse metal together for strong and permanent joints. Fastening can include any mechanism to assemble your parts together, such as rivets or screws.
Using the three combined methods above will produce quality and durability for your parts based on your specifications.
Sheet metal fabrication is a great option for building durable parts that are accurately shaped and designed structural and protective parts of many machines and casings. With modern precision laser cutting capabilities, bending and welding, many different and diverse items can very easily and accurately be produced in a short period of time with precision tolerances.

There are advantages for structural parts using sheet metal fabrication services, with material efficiency, design flexibility and manufacturing accuracy. Process techniques such as precision laser cutting, press brake bending and welding allow for quick production to tight tolerances. Along with an excellent strength to weight ratio, cost effective production with reduced material waste, design flexibility, rapid fabrication, accurate assembly repetition, good surface quality, high strength variety of materials and recyclable parts, sheet metal forms are a vital consideration for applications where strength, weight, cost, and turnaround time matter.
Thin sheet provides a strong structural component with no added material.
High material use and speed of production is low waste and tooling costs.
Complex shapes and features are simple to form with bend and cut.
The laser is quick, and automated bending speeds up prototyping and small runs.
Tight tolerances mean the parts fit together the same way every time.
Clean laser cut and accurate bend surface finish, little to no post-processing required.
Generally available in steels, aluminum, and alloys with the requirements of strength, corrosion or weight.
All scraps and end-of-life formed parts can generally be recycled to promote sustainable manufacturing.
Norck Robotics has precision sheet metal fabrication capabilities catering to applications requiring tight tolerances, integrity of design, and fast turnaround time. From simple brackets and enclosures to complex assemblies and housings, Norck Robotics can manufacture both standard and custom sheet metal fabrication with state-of-the-art CNC punching, laser, and forming processes - all done in-house.
