service related FAQ’s

What types of sheet metal fabrication services does American Tooling and Machining offer?2026-02-06T18:30:20+00:00

American Tooling and Machining provides end-to-end sheet metal services, including:
• Laser cutting
• CNC punching
• Bending and forming
• Welding and spot welding
• Fastener insertion (PEM, rivets, etc.)
• Surface finishing
We support prototypes, low-volume production, and custom enclosures or brackets.

What materials do you support for sheet metal fabrication?2025-07-30T17:30:36+00:00

We work with a wide range of metals, including:
• Aluminum (5052, 6061)
• Stainless steel (304, 316)
• Cold-rolled and hot-rolled steel
• Galvanized steel
• Copper and brass (upon request)
If you’re unsure which metal suits your application, our engineering team can recommend the best option.

What are your maximum part sizes and thickness capabilities?2025-07-30T17:31:01+00:00

• Thickness range: 0.5 mm to 6.0 mm (varies by material)
• Max flat size before forming: up to 1000 mm x 2000 mm
• Larger sizes may be supported depending on part geometry and tolerance requirements.

What tolerances can American Tooling and Machining hold in sheet metal fabrication?2026-02-06T18:26:02+00:00

• Typical tolerances: ±0.2 mm for laser cutting and ±0.5° for bending
• Tighter tolerances may be available depending on part complexity, process, and material
• Please include 2D drawings with tolerance callouts for precise quoting

Do you provide secondary operations and finishing services?2026-02-06T18:30:12+00:00

Yes. American Tooling and Machining offers a wide range of post-processing services:
• Powder coating, anodizing, plating, painting, sandblasting
• Deburring, PEM fastener installation, silk-screening
• Light assembly, part marking, or custom packaging upon request

What are the typical lead times for sheet metal parts?2025-07-30T17:32:25+00:00

• Rapid prototyping: 5–7 business days
• Production orders: typically 10–15 business days
• Lead times depend on complexity, finishing, and volume—rush options are available

Do you accept both 3D CAD and 2D drawings?2025-07-30T17:32:52+00:00

Yes. For accurate quoting and fabrication, we recommend submitting:
• A 3D CAD file (STEP, IGES, SolidWorks)
• A 2D drawing with bend lines, tolerances, hole callouts, and finishing notes
We also offer DFM feedback during quoting if your design can be improved for manufacturability.

Can American Tooling and Machining help with design and manufacturability feedback?2026-02-06T18:25:52+00:00

Absolutely. Our engineers provide Design for Manufacturability (DFM) support to help optimize your part for flat pattern development, bend reliefs, tolerance stacking, and finishing compatibility.

Is sheet metal fabrication suitable for production or just prototypes?2026-02-06T18:30:03+00:00

Both. American Tooling and Machining specializes in:
• Rapid prototyping
• Bridge production (pre-tooling)
• Low- to mid-volume production runs
If your production volume exceeds sheet metal’s cost-efficiency, we can help you transition to stamped or tooled solutions through our extended network.

Do you offer assembly or integration services?2025-07-30T17:34:01+00:00

Yes. We can perform light mechanical assembly, fastener installation, and sub-assembly integration for multi-part sheet metal builds. Send us your assembly BOM and instructions for review.

Is my intellectual property protected?2025-07-30T17:34:23+00:00

Yes. All client files, drawings, and communications are treated as confidential. We’re happy to sign NDAs upon request. Your proprietary designs are safe with VOK.
