Overview

Sheet metal enclosure prototyping, fabricated and finished in our own workshops

Tooling, stamping, laser cutting, bending, welding and surface finishing all run in our eleven workshops in Foshan — the part never leaves the plant between steps.

Before a die is cut, the design has to survive a build, a fit check and a customer demo. This service makes the first few enclosures and brackets by laser cutting and bending, with no stamping tool, so a change costs a new file rather than a new die.

The prototype is built from the same thickness and finish as the production part, so the fit and the weight are real. Where a fold will not close, or a hole sits too near a bend, we say so with the drawing marked up instead of quietly building something that cannot be produced at volume.

Send a STEP or DXF file, even if it is not finished. Typical first articles go out in under a week, and the same file then carries into the production tool with the corrections already in it. Small runs of ten to a few hundred are made the same way.

This part runs at 10 pcs per batch, with the die designed and maintained in our own tool shop. If you need a smaller trial before committing to the run, say so in the enquiry and we will quote the two quantities side by side.

Why this drawing matters. Every tolerance, hole position and bend radius on this page is confirmed against a drawing during quotation — so what you approve is what gets inspected at the end of the line. The published drawing is a generic sample, never a customer's file.

Certifications we hold

  • ISO 9000 — quality management system, covering incoming material, in-process and final inspection.
  • CCC — China Compulsory Certification, the domestic market access mark.

What ships with the goods

  • Batch inspection record — dimensional and appearance report for the production run, issued in English.
  • Material certificate — mill certificate for the steel or aluminium heat, on request.
  • Third-party inspection — SGS, TÜV, BV or your own QC are welcome at the plant before loading.

Overseas marks (UL, CE, RoHS, ETL)

These are applied for by the importer in its own market — that is the normal division of labour in this trade. What we do is supply the samples, material data and process records your test house asks for, and manufacture and inspect to whichever standard your drawing names (ASTM, EN, ISO). What we will not do is put a mark on a part we have not tested.

Why this part

Six things that decide whether a custom part arrives right

Every one of them sits inside our own plant, on the same floor as the parts.

01

11 workshops, one roof

Stamping, laser cutting, CNC bending, welding, polishing and assembly all run in-house, so tolerances are held from the first blank to the final finish.

02

26 presses + 350T drawing

160T × 2, 100T × 4, 80T × 8 and 60T × 12 presses, plus a 350T hydraulic press for deep-drawn housings and larger shells.

03

Runs at 10 pcs

This part is produced in batches of 10 pcs. Tooling is built here, so the die stays with the part and a repeat order does not pay for it twice.

04

Tooling made in-house

Three utility patents on our own tooling. The die is built and maintained by the same team that runs the press, so a design change moves with the part.

05

Documented, not decorated

ISO 9000 and CCC held. Each batch leaves with an inspection record, material certificates on request, and third-party inspection is welcome before loading.

06

Inspect before you pay

SGS, TÜV, BV or your own QC team can walk the line and inspect finished parts at our plant. Reports go to you, not to us.

Production process

How the order runs on our floor

Five steps, in this order, all in Foshan.

1

Drawing review

Send a PDF, DWG, DXF or STEP file. We check material, sheet thickness, tolerance and surface finish, and flag anything that needs adjusting before quoting.

2

Tooling in-house

Dies are designed, cut and maintained in our own tool shop — three utility patents on our tooling. A design change moves with the part.

Tool shop
3

Stamping & forming

26 presses from 60T to 160T, plus a 350T hydraulic press for deep-drawn shells. Laser cutting and CNC bending handle blanks and complex forms.

Press line
4

Welding & finishing

Tapping, welding, grinding and polishing complete the part. Surface treatment is specified to your drawing and documented per batch.

5

Inspection & shipment

Incoming checks, in-process checks and a final layout inspection. SGS, TÜV, BV or your own QC team are welcome before loading.

Factory

Made in Foshan since 2004

We run 13,000+ m² across eleven workshops in Foshan, Guangdong, China, with 51–100 staff. Sheet metal is the whole plant: the die is built where the part is stamped, the finish is applied where the part is formed, and a quality question is answered by the people who made the part.

How to order

From drawing to delivery

Four steps, no account required. We reply within one working day.

1 Send your drawing

PDF, DWG, STEP files or a physical sample all work. Tell us the quantity you have in mind — one piece is a valid starting point.

2 Engineering review

We confirm material, tolerance and surface finish, and flag anything that needs adjustment before quoting.

3 Sample first

A prototype is produced in 4-7 days so you can verify fit, finish and assembly before committing to volume.

4 Mass production

Laser cutting, CNC bending, punching, welding and in-house surface treatment are all completed under one roof for consistent quality.

Packing & loading

OEM and ODM projects are welcome, and we can support you in meeting your target-market certification requirements. Sheet metal enclosure prototyping are produced in our Foshan factory, where 26 punch presses plus CNC laser cutting and bending equipment handle both one-off prototypes and repeat production runs.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The questions buyers ask most before requesting a quote.

Can the prototype become the production part?
Yes. The corrected file from the prototype is what the die is cut from, so the parts you approve and the parts you receive at volume come from the same geometry.
Do you charge for design feedback?
No. The review is part of quoting. If a fold or a hole needs moving, you get the drawing back marked up before any metal is cut.
Can you build from a hand sketch?
A sketch with overall dimensions, material and thickness is enough to start. We turn it into a flat pattern and send it back for you to confirm before cutting.
Which files do you need to quote?
PDF, DWG, DXF, STEP or a physical sample. A sketch with the overall dimensions is enough to start; we tell you what is missing before quoting.
What certificates come with the order?
We hold ISO 9000 for quality management and CCC, the China compulsory certification. Every batch ships with an inspection record, and mill certificates for the material are available on request. Marks such as UL or CE are applied for by the importer in its own market; we supply the samples, material data and process records a test house asks for.
