4 Uses for Sheet Metal Fabrication in Denver

The items you use everyday are manufactured in part from sheet metal. Sheet metal fabrication in Denver helps build the materials used on assembly lines throughout the nation. This specialized process involves cutting, stamping (flattening), shaping and finishing metal sheets to engineering specifications. Here are four things in your everyday life that were made using sheet metal.

1. Appliances

Your kitchen appliances are manufactured from sheet metal. The outside of your dishwasher, refrigerator, stove and even smaller countertop appliances have been made using fabricated metal. Denver sheet metal fabrication can cut, stamp and finish the metal used to manufacture the appliances as well as other items used in your kitchen such as cookie sheets, broiling trays and stove vents. You’d be surprised how much sheet metal is in your cooking space.

2. Automobiles

Of course, your automobile is made from metal in part. The exteriors on the latest and greatest models may be fiberglass, but your car, truck or motorcycle still has metal framing and casing among other things. Recreational vehicles also contain materials made by sheet metal fabrication in Denver and elsewhere, as does your boat, ATV, jet skis and camping vehicles and equipment. You know that portable stove you use in the wilderness? It’s part sheet metal.

3. Computer Equipment

Computer equipment is another item that uses metal. The casing in which all interior components are installed is generally metal. If you have a laptop, your screen is held in by fabricated metal bars. Peripherals use sheet metal, too, including your printer, scanner, monitor and external hard drives. In this case, the metal may be custom finished to handle the heat and electricity of this equipment, as if not run through the equipment correctly the voltage can kill it.

4. Home and Commercial Construction Uses

You already know the appliances in your kitchen or work break room have been manufactured using sheet metal, but there are many other construction uses for this material. Metal roofing is custom made using sheet metal fabricating techniques, as is the material used for ventilation systems, especially the ducting and vents. Sheet metal is also used in your electrical and plumbing systems. You’d be surprised how much of a dwelling is made up of sheet metal.

As you can see, there are numerous needs for those who specialize in sheet metal fabrication in Denver. These manufacturers look at the plans and cut, shape and finish the metal sheets to exact specifications. This makes construction and/or production of all the things you use every day that much easier. For more details about our services, please visit our site at Denver Welding and Research
