Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for thin metal sheets, leading to burrs and inaccuracies.Employ high-quality shears, scribers, or laser cutting equipment specifically designed for precise metal fabrication to achieve clean edges.
Inadequate surface preparation before bonding or sealing, resulting in weak adhesion or leaks.Thoroughly clean all surfaces with an appropriate degreaser and ensure they are completely dry before applying adhesives or forming seals.

Common Applications

  • Custom protective packaging and inserts
  • EMI/RFI shielding applications
  • Precision gaskets and seals

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses and gloves when handling metal sheets.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or welding brass to avoid inhalation of fumes.
