Sheet Metal Shop Drawings for the Construction Industry

Often custom sheet metal fabrication is required to product complicated HVAC duct work, metal roofs, structural siding or column wraps, and sheet metal shop drawings that contain precise geometry of the folded and flat sheet is required to ensure the the end product is manufactured as needed by the engineer.

This type of drafting is very specialized and requires a true knowledge of the machines that cut, bend and punch sheet metal.

With accurate sheet metal shop drawings, the metal fabricating shop will experience less error and scrap, as often the geometric data is sent from the CAD file directly to a cutting or bending machine.

Sheet metal for duct work is first drafted as required by the HVAC routing plan, along with all junctions, bends and risers necessary.

Our drafters use CAD software to unfold sheet metal parts and have full training in creating corner and edge reliefs; adjustments for bend allowances; creating hems and hinges; and accurate placement of all knockouts, countersinks or tapped holes.

With precise drafting of sheet metal, we can provide the data required for laser cutting, CNC or CAM fabrication machines.
