Sheet metal is easy to take for granted when you work with it every day, but a new guide from our corporate team highlights just how broadly it's used across industries, from automotive body panels and HVAC ductwork to medical device enclosures and electronics housings.
What stands out is how differently each industry approaches forming, finishing, and tolerancing the same base material. A tolerance that's standard in HVAC fabrication might be far too loose for a medical equipment enclosure, and a finish that works for an industrial panel wouldn't pass in consumer electronics. Understanding those differences matters for shops considering diversifying into a new application space.
Our Marietta location stocks sheet metal across steel, aluminum, and stainless steel in a range of gauges, cut to spec for whatever industry or application your project falls into.
Full guide linked in the comments. Has your shop ever adapted a sheet metal process from one industry's standards to fit a project in a different sector?
