sheetmetal
Thin industrial panels
Sheetmetal is metal formed into thin, flat pieces—typically steel, aluminum, or copper.
It's a fundamental material in manufacturing, used for car body panels, ductwork, appliances, and aircraft skins.
Workers who shape and install it are sheetmetal workers.
Also spelled as two words: sheet metal.
