Sheet Metal Punching: Defined
Sheet metal punching in metal fabrication is the process of using a machine to press a shape through a sheet of metal and into a die to create the desired shape in the metal. This is most commonly done by use of a turret, a computer numerical controlled machine that houses tools and their corresponding dies in a revolving indexed turret. These machines use hydraulic, pneumatic, or electrical power to press the shape with enough force to shear the metal. The shape is formed by pressing the material against a die with a huge force. The shear forces generated between the material and die separate the material into the desired shape. The desired shape is not obtained, however, as burred edges and rough surfaces are formed. These edges and surfaces must be further processed until the desired shape is achieved.
The Benefits of CNC Sheet Metal Punching
- Versatility: Sheet metal punching can be used to create a wide range of shapes and sizes, from simple round holes to complex cutouts and embossing enabled by custom tooling.
- Tight tolerances: CNC punch presses offer precise control over the punching process, resulting in high accuracy and repeatability.
- High speed: Metal punching process is fast and can produce many almost-identical parts quickly and efficiently.
- Cost-effective: For high-volume production runs, punching can be the cheapest option. The higher the volume, the lower the cost per part as it drives down the impact of setup costs (and custom tooling, if needed) on the total price.
- Minimal material waste: Sheet metal punching is a highly efficient process that produces minimal material waste compared to other cutting methods. The punched sheet metal can also be recycled, reducing environmental impact.
- Customisation: Punches and dies can be custom-made to produce complex shapes and features, allowing for the customisation of parts to meet specific design requirements.
- Consistency: Punching offers high consistency and uniformity across a production run, resulting in parts that fit together precisely and work as intended.
- No HAZ: Unlike thermal cutting methods like laser or plasma cutting, punching does not heat the metal. Thus, it is free of heat-affected zones.
Our Fully Equipped Custom Fabrication Shop Is Ready to Assist You
As part of our ongoing quest to provide the best solution for every customer, we have a state-of-the-art, in-house fabrication department that contains the most advanced hole punching equipment on the market. This enables us to offer a wide assortment of premium perforated metal custom punching services, including:
- Hole size: If our standard round, slotted or square hole sizes aren’t quite right for your project, just let us know! We can alter the size of the hole to make it larger or smaller as needed.
- Hole pattern and pattern orientation: Typical perforation patterns include variations of straight-line and staggered. However, we can alter these patterns upon request. We can also change the pattern orientation and direction.
- Open area percentage: The amount of open area on a screen, vent or other product will significantly affect factors such as material flow and strength. We can custom fabricate your metal sheets or coils to contain the precise open area percentage that will provide the results you need, while also providing maximum durability.

We have advanced 10.000kw industrial-grade laser cutting equipment, which handles fine engraving and cutting details on the metal sheet metal, and can cut stainless steel plates within 30mm at the maximum. The flat cut cross section can reduce the cost of secondary processing.
And to achieve a precision tolerance of ±0.05mm, more than 80 kinds of metal plate materials can be selected.
Laser cutting service is suitable for sheet metal prototypes and mass production, and is time-efficient and economical.
At Anpllocnc, we can ship semi-finished products after laser cutting on the same day.
Welding Fabrication Services
Metal welding is an indispensable process for manufacturing parts of sheet metal. The metal is spliced and assembled at high temperature and will maintain high strength after cooling.
Metal welding is classified according to different media: gas flame, electric arc, laser, electron beam, friction and ultrasonic. It is widely used in the welding of various metal materials.
At Anpllocnc, we use advanced welding robots for fully automated welding work.
