Custom Metal Panels

Q: Is there a minimum order to fabricate custom metal panels?

No. We specialize in low volume prototype sheet metal fabrication alongside high-volume production. Whether you need a single custom aluminum panel for a mock-up or 5,000 units for a commercial rollout, there is custom metal panels no minimum order requirement at ShincoFab. Keep in mind that unit pricing decreases significantly as volume increases due to setup efficiencies.

Q: What file formats do you accept for quoting?

To get the fastest custom metal panel cost and pricing, we recommend sending 3D CAD models (STEP, IGES, SolidWorks) along with a 2D PDF drawing that calls out critical tolerances, finishes, and threaded inserts. We can also work from DXF/DWG flat patterns. Have a hand sketch? Our team can assist with custom metal panel design specifications to get it production-ready.

Q: How fast can you deliver? (Lead Times)

Speed is our differentiator.Prototypes: Standard lead time is 2–5 days depending on complexity.Production: Typically 2–3 weeks.We offer custom metal panels delivered worldwide. If you have a “line-down” emergency or a tight construction deadline, please flag it as “Expedite” when you request a quote, and we will confirm if we can meet your date.

Q: Can you handle complex shapes like tapered or curved panels?

Yes. Beyond standard rectangles, we fabricate custom tapered metal panels, perforated screens, and complex bent geometries using our Jorns JDB Double Bending Machine and CNC turret punches. From architectural metal facade panels to intricate electronic chassis, if it can be unfolded from sheet metal, we can make it.

Q: What finishes do you offer in-house?

We provide a turnkey solution. You can specify custom metal panels with powdercoat finish (choose any RAL color), anodizing (Clear, Black, Hard), chemical conversion (Alodine/Chem-film for conductivity), or passivated stainless. We also offer custom metal panels with digital printing, silkscreening, and laser marking for logos and labels.

Q: What tolerances can you hold?

For precision sheet metal fabrication, our standard dimensional tolerance is +/- 0.010″ (0.25mm), but we can hold +/- 0.005″ on critical features when specified. For architectural metal panels, we adhere to industry standards for flatness and visual uniformity to ensure seamless alignment on walls and roofs.
