Sheet Metal Prototyping Service
Dakings delivers end-to-end sheet metal prototyping solutions, tailored to turn your designs into functional, industry-ready parts. From cutting to finishing, our services combine precision, flexibility, and expertise to meet your unique needs
Laser Cutting Service
High-precision cutting of complex geometries—holes, slots, and custom contours—with tight tolerances (±0.1mm). Ideal for intricate designs in aluminum, stainless steel, and carbon steel.
CNC Bending Service
Automated press brakes form precise angles (±0.5° tolerance) for 3D components, from simple brackets to multi-bend enclosures. Ensures consistency across prototypes and small batches.
Welding & Assembly Service
Structural joining via TIG, MIG, or spot welding—strengthening connections while maintaining aesthetics. Includes hardware installation (nuts, inserts) for ready-to-test assemblies.
Custom Surface Finishing
Tailored finishes to enhance durability and appearance: powder coating, anodizing, plating, or polishing. Matches industry standards (e.g., automotive corrosion resistance, medical-grade hygiene).

Our Workflow
End-to-End Sheet Metal Prototyping Workflow
Design Review & DFM Analysis
Our engineers assess your CAD files to optimize for manufacturability—adjusting bend radii, hole placement, or material thickness to reduce costs without compromising specs.
Certified Material Sourcing
We select high-quality sheet metals (aluminum, stainless steel, etc.) from trusted suppliers, with full material certifications. Pre-inspections screen for surface defects or inconsistencies.
Precision Laser Cutting
CNC laser cutters shape flat sheets into 2D blanks, with tight tolerances (±0.1mm) for complex geometries—holes, slots, and contours—ensuring accurate foundations for bending.
CNC Bending & Forming
Automated press brakes form 3D shapes with precise angles (±0.5° tolerance). Multi-bend components are crafted in sequence to maintain alignment across all folds.
Post-Processing & Finishing
Deburring removes sharp edges; surface treatments (powder coating, anodizing) are applied per requirements. Hardware (nuts, inserts) is installed for ready-to-assemble parts.
Final Inspection & Rapid Delivery
CMM and optical checks verify dimensions; a full QC report is included. Parts are packaged in anti-static materials, with options for 48-hour expedited delivery.
Quality Control for Turning
Our 4-stage quality control process ensures every prototype meets exacting standards—from dimensions to durability.
Dimensional Inspection
Mitutoyo CMM verifies hole positions, bend angles (±0.1°), and overall dimensions. Optical comparators check edge quality—ensuring burr-free, smooth transitions.
Bend testing (180° fold) verifies material ductility. Weld strength tests (pull-out force ≥500N) ensure structural integrity for assembled parts.
Quality Assurance
Full QC reports document every inspection. Material certs, first-article inspection logs, and test data are stored for 10+ years—ensuring full traceability.
Materials for Sheet Metal Prototyping
We optimize tooling for diverse materials to ensure formability and surface quality.
Metals
Aluminum (6061, 5052) – lightweight, ideal for automotive brackets. Stainless Steel (304, 316) – corrosion-resistant, used in medical devices. Carbon Steel (SPCC, A36) – cost-effective for industrial enclosures. Copper/Brass – conductive, suitable for electrical components.
Specialty Materials
Titanium (Grade 5) – high-strength for aerospace applications. Galvanized Steel – rust-resistant for outdoor equipment.
