Sheet metal fabrication pricing and lead times

Quote-based pricing. Lead times and quote-turnaround SLAs are published below; piece-part pricing depends on material, thickness, operation count, and finishing.

How we quote

  • File formats accepted: STEP, IGES, DXF (for flat parts), PDF prints
  • Quote turnaround: 1 business day on most parts
  • Minimum order: none — single-piece prototypes through 50,000-unit production runs
  • Currency: USD

Lead times

Service Prototype turn Production turn
Press brake forming 5 business days 7–10 business days
Robotic welding (production) n/a 10–14 business days
Manual welding (prototype) 5–7 business days n/a
Finishing (deburr, treat) included in main lead time included in main lead time
Assembly adds 3–5 business days adds 5–7 business days

What affects pricing

  1. Operation count — primary cost driver. More bends, welds, hardware inserts = more operations = more cost.
  2. Tolerance class — standard (±0.5° / ±0.1 mm) is included; tight features quoted per-line.
  3. Material grade and thickness — direct material cost + harder grades increase tooling wear.
  4. Quantity — fixturing and program setup amortize over the run.
  5. Finishing — bare metal, deburr-only, surface treat, paint, powder coat, plating (partner).
  6. Documentation — FAI standard; PPAP levels 2–4 quoted as line items.
