What does sheet metal mean?
Sheet metal is the work category of sheet metal workers. Hand-made thin metal plate into various workpieces through lofting, cutting, arching, shaping, riveting, sewing and other processes.

In fact, sheet metal workers belong to the fitter category, and the technical requirements are relatively extensive. Mathematics and geometry are the basic theoretical requirements, and metal materials, welding and cutting, locksmith riveting and other technologies are all required to be mastered.

Sheet metal workers are classified according to their jobs: automotive plastic sheet metal workers who repair cars; Do the sheet metal work of boxes (such as distribution boxes); Do sheet metal work for ventilation pipes and various elbows; Do sheet metal work of all kinds of white iron products in towns and villages, and so on. Nowadays, science and technology have replaced many jobs that used to need manual operation, but the technical requirements that need manual operation have not decreased but increased, so the accumulation of knowledge is indispensable for a good sheet metal worker. The lofting foundation of sheet metal workers is a prerequisite for getting started.

Up to now, there is no relatively complete definition of sheet metal processing technology. According to a definition in foreign professional journals, it can be defined as: sheet metal is a comprehensive cold working process of shearing, punching/cutting/compounding, folding, riveting, splicing and forming metal plates (usually less than 6mm) (such as automobile bodies). Its remarkable feature is that the thickness of the same part is consistent.
