Contact UsWhat Is Sheet Metal Prototyping?
At Greengate Metal Components, sheet metal prototyping is a key stage in turning concepts into reality. Using advanced CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software, we develop precise digital models which guide the fabrication of accurate, high-quality prototypes. These early-stage components are produced using techniques like CNC laser cutting, bending, and welding, allowing us to test form, fit, and function before full production.
Prototyping helps identify potential design improvements, reduces risk, and ensures cost-effective manufacturing. By combining expert craftsmanship with cutting-edge CAD and fabrication technology, Greengate delivers reliable, tailored prototypes that support innovation and accelerate product development for our clients.

Contact UsCAD For Sheet Metal Fabrication
CAD (Computer-Aided Design) plays a vital role in modern sheet metal fabrication. It allows engineers and designers to create highly accurate, detailed digital models of components before any physical work begins. These models guide every stage of the fabrication process, from cutting and bending to assembly, ensuring precision and consistency.
CAD improves efficiency by highlighting potential issues early, reducing waste and minimising costly errors. It also enables easy modifications, supports custom designs, and speeds up production timelines.
Prototyping For Sheet Metal Fabrication Projects
Sheet metal fabrication prototyping is the process of creating an initial, functional version of a metal component before full-scale production begins. It allows designers and engineers to test form, fit and function, helping to identify and resolve design issues early. Prototypes are produced using processes such as laser cutting, bending and welding, often guided by precise CAD models.
