Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Sheet Metal Projects

1️ What industries does Rollyu Precision serve with sheet metal fabrication?

We serve a wide range of industries that demand precision, quality, and full traceability, including:

  • Medical Devices & Life Sciences

  • Dental Equipment

  • Semiconductor Equipment

  • Robotics & Automation

  • Aerospace & Aviation

  • Photonics & Optics

  • Telecommunications

  • Renewable Energy & Power Generation

  • Industrial Equipment & Automation Systems

 

2️ What sheet metal materials can you work with?

We routinely fabricate parts using a wide variety of metals, including:

  • Aluminum (5052, 6061, 7075, MIC-6)

  • Stainless Steel (304, 316, 430)

  • Mild Carbon Steel (SPCC, CRS)

  • Galvanized Steel

  • Cold-Rolled & Hot-Rolled Steel

  • Copper & Brass Alloys

  • Titanium (limited thicknesses)

If you have special material requirements, we can also source and certify specialty alloys per your project specifications.

 

3️ What fabrication processes do you offer in-house?

Our fully integrated facility provides complete in-house services including:

  • CNC Laser Cutting

  • Sheet Metal Forming & Bending

  • Welding (MIG, TIG, Spot Welding)

  • Surface Finishing (Powder Coating, Anodizing, Plating, Bead      Blasting)

  • Assembly & Sub-Assembly

  • Quality Control & CMM Inspection

  • Custom Kitting & Packaging

This full vertical integration helps us control lead times, quality, and cost for our customers.

 

4️ What are your typical sheet metal tolerances?

For most precision sheet metal projects, our standard tolerances are:

  • Laser Cutting: ±0.1mm

  • Bending/Forming: ±0.2mm (depending on material thickness &      bend complexity)

  • Welded Assemblies: ±0.3mm (post-weld machining can tighten      this)

  • Flatness: ≤0.15mm per 300mm (depending on part size)

We can also achieve tighter tolerances upon request depending on part geometry, material, and application.

 

5️ Do you offer prototyping and low-volume sheet metal production?

Yes. We support:

  • Rapid prototyping

  • Pre-production sampling

  • Low-volume custom runs

  • Bridge production prior to mass production

Our flexible production allows customers to validate designs before scaling up to mass production, minimizing risks and optimizing manufacturability.

 

6️ How do you handle quality control?

Quality control is fully integrated throughout our manufacturing process. We offer:

  • First Article Inspection (FAI)

  • In-Process Inspection

  • Final Dimensional Inspection

  • CMM Verification (Coordinate Measuring Machine)

  • Full inspection reports upon request

  • ISO 9001 & ISO 13485 certified processes

 

7️ Can you handle international shipping and export compliance?

Yes. We regularly ship globally. Our export team is experienced in handling:

  • International freight coordination

  • Export documentation

  • Compliance with customer import regulations

  • Careful packaging to prevent transit damage

We work with customers across North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia.

 

8️ What is your typical lead time for sheet metal projects?

  • Prototypes: 7–15 business days (depending on complexity)

  • Standard production: 3–5 weeks

  • Complex assemblies or high-volume production: 4–8 weeks

Lead time may vary based on part complexity, material availability, and customer schedule. Expedited production is available for urgent projects.

 

9️ Can you support KanBan or scheduled release programs?

Absolutely. We offer:

  • KanBan inventory management

  • Blanket orders with scheduled releases

  • Just-in-Time (JIT) deliveries

  • Vendor-managed inventory (VMI) support

These programs help our customers reduce inventory holding costs and improve supply chain flexibility.
