About

… about Sheet Metal Prototype, Inc.

Sheet Metal Prototype, Inc. has been providing our customers with quality, close-tolerance parts for over 30 years. We specialize in lighter gauge materials, anywhere from .008 thick up to .250 in some alloys. We work in steel, aluminum, pre-coated alloys, copper, brass, and some plastics, and utilize three CNC turret presses to punch out any contour you might require. These are backed up by complete quality control, shearing, deburring, brake, welding and hardware departments. We only use top grade, prime materials, with traceability back to the original manufacturer, for every piece we create. We can provide certificates of conformance, material, and plating/paint certifications for any job that requires it. All certifications are scanned by job and kept on record indefinitely.
