Sheet Metal Pressing
PARTS AND PROTOTYPES FOR INDUSTRIAL AND DECORATIVE APPLICATIONS
METAL LEAF
Metal leaf is an extremely thin layer of metal – sometimes only a few atoms thick. Due to the incredibly thin nature of metal leaf, special brushes must be used to apply it. Metal leaf is generally made for decorative purposes using brass,
■ Aluminum
■ Brass
■ Copper
■ Gold
■ Nickel
■ Silver
■ Stainless Steel
■ Tin
■ Titanium
The metals are formed either into flat sheets or coils, both varying in thickness.
WHAT TYPES OF SHEET METAL CAN BE PRODUCED?
Foils are metals pressed into very thin sheets which bend and tear easily. Foils are most often used in household applications – such as household aluminum foil. Malleable metals make the best foils; they can be pressed into equally thin sheets more

MANUFACTURING WITH SHEET METAL
Sheet metal has an incredible number of applications for nearly every industry. Sheet metals can be sourced in nearly any thickness required, then formed into complex shapes or cut with incredible precision. Conductive capabilities, corrosion resistance, heat tolerance and more are all reasons to consider sheet metal in producing your next part or prototype.
Metals can be manipulated to accommodate your needs using many different manufacturing processes. The design, requirements, and materials will all factor in determining which sheet metal manufacturing process is best suited for your project. Some of the more-common processes include:
Bending the metals into shape
Hemming to reinforce metal edges
Laser cutting for precision designs
Punching designs directly from a sheet of metal
Seaming sheets of metal together creating a joint
Stamping images or designs into metals
Water-jet cutting, using jets of highly-pressurized water for a controlled erosion
