​In modern manufacturing, CNC machining and sheet metal fabrication are two widely used processes for producing metal components. While both techniques involve shaping and processing metal, they serve different purposes, utilize distinct methodologies, and are suited for specific applications.

Sheet metal fabrication is used to create a wide range of products across various industries by cutting, bending, and joining thin, flat metal sheets, with applications including construction components like roofing, cladding, ductwork, and gutters, as well as parts for electronics, automotive, aerospace, and appliance manufacturing, utilizing materials like mild steel, brass, and aluminum depending on the desired properties; common types of sheet metal fabrication techniques include cutting, punching, bending, welding, and finishing processes to ensure durability and aesthetics.

​Custom metal stamping is a manufacturing process that uses specialized tools to shape metal into specific forms and sizes. It's used in many industries to meet production demands and ensure parts meet exact specifications.

5-axis CNC machines include two additional axes, A and B. These extra axes enable the machining of more complex and intricate parts with greater precision.
