Manufacturers of custom precision sheet metal and machined components
When metal is cut or stamped, it creates sharp edges called burrs. Even though they are small, burrs can cause assembly problems, interfere with fluid flow, cause worker injury, and can also cause increased stresses and subsequent fatigue failure of the part. The techs at Hansen Industries will choose the best deburring method to produce …

When designing projects for sheet metal fabrication, you need to make several design accommodations to ensure that any fasteners or cuts made near edges, bends, or other fasteners don’t distort your final product. Below are a few places where distortions could occur and how to avoid them. If you need help designing your next sheet …
When your next project needs thin, flat pieces of metal in precise shapes and sizes, consider versatile sheet metal. Sheet metal is used in many metalworking projects and countless everyday objects are fabricated from it. Hansen Industries can manufacture your parts created quickly. Below are our design file specifications and recommendations, however we are able …
When metal is formed by an industrial process into thin, flat pieces it’s known as sheet metal. It’s a fundamental form used in metalworking and is versatile enough to be cut or bent into a variety of shapes and forms. At Hansen Industries, our strength is manufacturing precision parts with tolerances up to +/- 0.005” …
For high-volume production metal stamping, Hansen Industries has the machinery, facilities and experience to know which form of fabrication or machining will result in the most cost-effective, quality parts for your project. When sheet metal volumes approach 500 to 1000 per run then metal stamping should be considered. We build dies in-house that are dedicated to one …
