Custom sheet metal fabrication transforms raw metal into finished parts built for your exact application. For more than 25 years, our Nanpi factory has delivered custom sheet metal fabrication to OEM and industrial clients. Nanpi is the home of China’s hardware manufacturing industry.

Our customers span Europe, North America, Australia, and beyond. We handle everything under one roof—stamping, deep drawing, laser cutting, bending, and welding. Production can scale from a single prototype to runs in the hundreds of thousands.

Our quality system is ISO 9001:2015-certified and supported by 120 people, including 19 engineers.

What Is Custom Sheet Metal Fabrication?

Custom sheet metal fabrication is the process of converting flat metal sheets into shaped, finished parts. It uses a sequence of forming, cutting and joining operations. Unlike standard catalog parts, custom metal fabrication is engineered around your drawings.

Every dimension, tolerance, material grade and surface finish is defined by your project requirements.What makes it custom in our case:

• Parts are made to your drawings (2D/3D), not selected from a catalog
• Material grade, thickness and finish are chosen for your application
• Prototypes are produced and validated before mass production
• Multi-process combinations are used when a single process cannot do the job

Our Equipment & Capabilities at a Glance

Industries We Serve

Our custom sheet metal parts ship to OEMs across twelve industries. Each sector brings its own standards, and our engineers adapt materials, tolerances and finishes accordingly.

• Aerospace — lightweight structural brackets and housings
• Automotive — stamped components, mounting plates and brackets
• Construction tools — durable housings and wear-resistant parts
• Electronics — enclosures, chassis and mounting frames
• Energy — equipment panels and structural supports
• Medical / healthcare — device housings and instrument parts
• Home & garden — hardware and appliance components
• Farming equipment — heavy-duty brackets and guards
• Fire fighting equipment — robust housings and fittings
• Packaging — machine parts and frames
• Marine & shipbuilding — corrosion-resistant components
• Metal hardware — hinges, brackets, clamps and fasteners

Prototype Support & Design Guidance

One of the clearest advantages of working with our factory is engineering support before production starts. Our 19 engineers review your drawings and advise on how material properties and manufacturing processes affect cost and performance.

• Material recommendations — we explain how different metals behave under stamping, drawing or bending
• Process selection — we suggest the process that balances cost and quality for your volume
• Design for manufacturing — small adjustments to radii, hole positions or tolerances can cut cost without changing function
• Prototype first — single-piece samples validate the design before you commit to tooling

Quality Assurance

Quality control is built into the workflow, not checked only at the end. Our ISO 9001:2015 quality management system covers incoming material inspection, in-process checks and final inspection before packing.

• Incoming material verification against your grade requirements
• In-process inspection at forming, cutting and welding stages
• Dimensional checks against your drawing tolerances
• Final inspection and export-grade packaging

Real Project Results

A representative project from our production history—over 70,000 different custom metal parts delivered to date:

Deep drawn stainless steel housing for an electronic device

An electronics OEM needed a seamless housing that could protect sensitive components from dust and moisture. Welded assemblies carried leak risk, so the part was engineered as a single-piece deep drawn enclosure.

• Part: seamless 304 stainless steel housing
• Process chain: deep drawing → trimming → surface finishing → dimensional inspection
• Key challenge: uniform wall thickness across a deep draw, without cracks or wrinkles
• Our solution: optimized draw ratio plus multi-stage tooling, validated with prototypes first
• Prototype: 2 weeks from drawing approval
• Production: 6 weeks after prototype approval; 10,000 pcs per order
• Quality result: 100% dimensional inspection on critical features; zero defects in the first three production batches

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order quantity for custom sheet metal fabrication?

There is no fixed MOQ. We quote each project based on part design and process. Prototyping is available from a single piece.

Can you produce prototypes before mass production?

Yes. We recommend prototype validation before tooling investment, especially for deep drawing and stamping projects.

Which materials do you work with?

Stainless steel (304/316), aluminum, carbon steel, brass, copper and more, selected to your application requirements.

How long does delivery take?

Production timelines depend on part complexity and volume. We confirm exact schedules with your project plan.
