3D Hubs launches sheet metal fabrication services

Netherlands-based 3D Hubs has added sheet metal to its manufacturing services, expanding the technologies available to engineers on its online manufacturing platform.

Through the platform, engineers can choose from aluminum (6061-T6, 5052, 5754), stainless steel (303, 304, 316L), mild steel (1018), and copper (C110) sheet metal. The sheet metal can be processed with laser cutting (up to 10 mm) and bending (6 mm).

Users upload their designs, specify their requirements, and are given an instant quote. Once the quote is accepted, the sheet metal is fabricated by a match among a network of 250 verified manufacturing partners.

The company also offers distributed manufacturing for the 3D printing, CNC machining, and injection molding processes.
