Custom sheet metal parts, cut and formed
Start with the geometry your assembly needs. Xeon NC combines fiber laser cutting with CNC press brake bending to produce brackets, panels, enclosures and other sheet metal components.
Check the material and thickness before finalizing the design. Bend radius, tooling access, minimum flange length and nearby holes all affect whether the flat pattern can form into the finished part.
Choose the material for the job
Explore 5052-H32 aluminum for formed parts, carbon steel for structural and general fabrication work, or stainless steel where corrosion resistance and surface condition matter.
The material catalog lists available grades and per-gauge fabrication specifications. Review the selected grade, thickness and finish rather than assuming all materials form the same way.
Add the details your assembly needs
Bring fastening and finish requirements into the design early. Explore tapped holes, countersinks, PEM hardware insertion, deburring and edge rounding, powder coating and Type II anodizing. Compatibility depends on the part geometry, material and process.

Planning your sheet metal order
What files should I send?
Use a DXF for a flat cutting profile or a STEP/STP model for a formed part. Include a drawing when bend directions, critical dimensions, or assembly requirements need clarification. Follow the file preparation guide for units and export settings.
Can cutting and bending be quoted together?
Specify the material and geometry for both operations. Our sheet metal bending service includes tooling and material guidance so you can check bend radius, minimum flange length, and hole clearance before quoting.
How do prototypes and production runs differ?
Set the quantity for each part in your quote. For a repeat order or a larger assembly, include revision information and the required delivery schedule in a custom quote request. Review volume pricing options for production quantities.
Where are parts made and shipped?
Xeon NC manufactures in Nampa, Idaho and ships nationwide. Review shipping and lead-time guidance and confirm your order requirements before purchasing.
