sheet metal shop

Metal bending workplace

A sheet metal shop is a facility where flat metal sheets are cut, bent, and shaped into products—ductwork, roofing panels, automotive parts, or custom fabrications.

The term refers both to the physical workspace and the business itself: My uncle runs a sheet metal shop that supplies HVAC contractors.

Workers use specialized equipment like shears, brakes, and rollers to transform raw material into finished goods.
