Sheet-metal Fabrication

Cutting and forming of sheet-metal parts.

Also called: Sheet-metal Fabrication · 금속 가공 · Metal fabrication

Last verified: 2026-05-27

An industry that cuts parts from steel, aluminium, and other sheet stock with laser, plasma, or punch, then forms them. Its cutting stage — True-shape Nesting — is the industrial case of 2D Irregular Nesting, where material yield is cost. Sheet-metal-specific constraints include kerf (cut width) compensation, common-line cutting that cuts adjacent parts along a shared edge, and optimizing the cutting head's travel path.
