Precision Sheet
Metal Fabrication
Services
XC Machining provides sheet metal fabrication services including laser cutting, CNC press brake bending, TIG/MIG welding, punching, and forming in steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and brass from 0.5 mm to 12 mm thickness with ±0.1 mm tolerances.
Sheet Metal Fabrication
Cutting & Forming Capabilities
Detailed breakdown of cutting, bending, and joining processes offered by XC Machining:
Laser Cutting
Fiber laser cutting for high-speed, tight tolerance cutting of complex shapes in steel, aluminum, and stainless steel with minimal heat-affected zones (HAZ).
Waterjet Cutting
Cold-cutting technology ideal for thick plates, copper, brass, and materials sensitive to thermal distortion.
CNC Bending & Brake Forming
Multi-axis CNC press brakes ensuring consistent bend angles, precise radius forming, and complex enclosure geometry creation.
How Fast Can XC Machining
Deliver Sheet Metal
Prototypes And Production?
XC Machining operates sheet metal fabrication from our facility in Dongguan, China, serving customers in the USA, Europe, and Asia with DHL/FedEx/UPS international shipping and full export documentation.
XC Machining delivers sheet metal prototypes in 3 5 business days and production batches in 7 15 days. Prototype orders of 1 100 parts use the same laser cutting, bending, and welding processes as production, ensuring your prototype is dimensionally identical to the final manufactured part.
Production volumes scale from single prototypes through 50,000+ annual parts. CNC press brake bending, laser cutting, and welding processes maintain ±0.1 mm consistency across prototype and production runs no compromise between batch sizes.
