Sheet Metal
Sheet metal refers to metal formed into thin, flat pieces, which can be cut, bent, and stretched into various shapes for manufacturing products.

TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Sheet metal is a fundamental material in manufacturing, consisting of metal formed into thin, flat panels, typically less than 6mm thick, that can be subjected to various forming processes such as cutting, bending, stamping, and welding to create diverse components and structures.
BACKGROUND
Sheet metal is metal formed into thin, flat pieces, usually by an industrial process.
