Product Development & Manufacturing
Custom Sheet Metal Fabrication
From your product requirement to a formed and assembled metal part.
We help distributors improve existing products, adapt designs for local applications and develop new metal products. Laser cutting, CNC bending, stamping and welding are connected around the dimensions, finish and assembly your product needs.
Metal products built around their application
A bracket has to fit its mounting points. A housing needs space for its components. A frame must support the complete assembly. We start with the product in use, then develop the sheet parts, forming details and joining route together.
Brackets, mounts and supports
Bent brackets, support plates, clips and mounting components. Hole positions, flange lengths, bend access and the mating assembly determine the useful shape of the part.
Panels, trays and cable routing parts
Cut and formed panels, trays, wireways and cable troughs. Review the section, slots, returns, cover arrangement, connections and installation method as one product.
Frames, bases and fabricated assemblies
Equipment supports, frames, racks and welded structures. Connect the component drawings with the finished assembly dimensions, fixture references and joining sequence.
Commercial storage and stainless products
Shelves, storage products and ice-bin product directions. Discuss dimensions, surface appearance, access, cleaning, drainage and packing around the application.
Repeat stamped components
Clips, brackets, plates and other repeat parts. Tooling becomes part of the project discussion when the design and expected quantity support a stamping route.
Start with an existing product, an improvement or a new design
Adapt a product direction
Use a current product group as the starting point, then define the size, installation, material, hardware and finish for your market.
Improve an existing part
Bring the sample and the problem it creates: difficult assembly, an awkward mounting point, unwanted movement, handling damage or a finish that does not suit the application.
Develop something new
Share the intended use and the complete assembly. Product design and DFM connect the concept with a practical cutting, forming and joining route.
Material, thickness and finish belong in the same discussion
Our metal capabilities include carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum. The grade and thickness are selected against the part geometry, loading, environment, joining method and surface requirement.
| Material direction | Product questions to resolve |
|---|---|
| Carbon steel | What stiffness, forming route and protective finish does the application require? |
| Stainless steel | Which grade, surface appearance, weld treatment and cleaning conditions matter? |
| Aluminum | How should weight, section stiffness, bend geometry, joining and finish be balanced? |
Show the important surfaces on the drawing. A hidden support and a customer-facing panel can have different appearance criteria. Material thickness also affects bend tooling, corner clearances, hole locations and assembly fit.
For coated or finished products, agree the finish specification, visible faces and areas that must remain clear before samples. The delivery proposal should identify the included finishing and packing scope.
Four processes, one product discussion
Laser cutting defines flat geometry. Bending creates the section. Stamping supports repeat formed or pierced parts. Welding and fabrication bring components into a larger structure. A product may use one process or several.
The route is chosen around the part and production program. It should account for tooling, setup, assembly access, appearance and the amount of change still expected in the design.
Laser cutting: establish the flat-part geometry
Cutting starts from the drawing, material and thickness, with attention to the contour, openings, hole locations and features needed by later operations.
The focused laser acts locally along the programmed path. Cutting conditions, focus, nozzle position and assist gas affect the edge and how the sheet separates. The cut part must be assessed as a component that will next be handled, formed, joined or finished.
We connect the cutting review with:
- Contours, openings and the dimensions that locate the part.
- Hole and slot positions relative to bends and assembly references.
- Edge condition, burrs and thermal effects.
- The surfaces that will remain visible after finishing.
- Features needed by the next forming or joining operation.
CNC bending: turn the blank into a working shape
A press brake forms the sheet between the punch and die while positioning establishes the bend location. Tool geometry, material behavior and springback affect the final angle and flange position.
The drawing review considers bend direction, inside radius, flange length, holes near the bend and the sequence needed to reach the final shape. Tool and part clearances matter: the finished geometry has to be accessible during forming.
For housings, trays and brackets, we assess the folded part against its mating components. Critical checks can include angle, flange dimensions, parallel faces, mounting-hole alignment and the visible surface.
Stamping: develop the route around the repeat part
Stamping uses tooling to cut or form sheet components. It is a useful project direction for stable designs with recurring demand, including clips, brackets, mounting plates and covers.
Before the tooling direction is agreed, we discuss the material, feature layout, forming sequence, burr direction, critical dimensions and expected quantity. Changes to a repeat part should be considered alongside their effect on the tool and the final assembly.
A cut-and-bent route and a stamped route can have different investment and production implications. We connect that choice with the project stage instead of selecting a process from the part name alone.
Welding and fabrication: build the complete assembly
Welding and fabrication connect the individual parts into frames, supports, bases, guards and other assembled structures. The useful reference is the finished product, including the surfaces and interfaces that must fit.
Joint access, location features, fixture references and welding sequence influence how the assembly is produced. Heat-related movement and the final appearance of the joint should be considered before the surrounding parts are finalized.
Share the mating parts, hardware, access requirements and finished dimensions. This helps connect joining, any required post-weld treatment, assembly checks and packing in the same proposal.
Inside Jizon’s factory
Product development connects our manufacturing capabilities with the drawings, samples and delivery requirements of each program.
Use the complete product as the starting point when plastic parts, extruded sections and metal supports must fit together. The interfaces can then be considered across the manufacturing processes.
Quality checks follow the product’s important features
The drawing, sample and agreed inspection criteria define what must be checked. We connect checks with the stage where a feature is created, then confirm the assembled result.
| Stage | Examples of review points |
|---|---|
| Cut part | Overall contour, openings, hole positions, burrs, edge condition and flatness. |
| Formed part | Bend angle, flange dimensions, hole alignment, surface marks and cracking. |
| Joined assembly | Reference dimensions, joint condition, distortion, access and mating fit. |
| Finished product | Visible faces, hardware, surface requirement, assembly and packing. |
Identify functional dimensions and cosmetic faces before sampling. A dimension used to locate a hinge, fit a cover or mount a component deserves a clear reference and acceptance criterion.
Product-specific performance or loading requirements should be stated with the required verification method. They are not inferred from a material name or the appearance of a sample.

Questions before starting
Can we start with an existing sample?
Yes. A sample helps show the shape, assembly and finish. Include the intended change and any mating parts; critical dimensions still need an agreed reference.
Do all parts need stamping tooling?
No. Laser cutting, bending and stamping serve different part and volume requirements. We discuss the route with the design maturity and expected quantity.
Can several metal parts be supplied as an assembly?
Welding and fabrication are part of our capability scope. Share the assembly drawing and hardware requirements so the included operations can be defined.
How are thickness and tolerances selected?
They are considered with the material, shape, forming and joining route, mating parts and functional dimensions. Send these requirements for a project-specific review.
Can the finish and packing be included?
Define the finish, visible surfaces, protection and shipping arrangement at the start. The proposal should state the agreed finishing and packing scope.
