Product Overview
OEM sheet metal parts are manufactured from customer drawings for industrial machinery, automation equipment, electrical systems and custom assemblies that require repeatable fabricated components.
XHX Metal manufactures custom OEM sheet metal parts for equipment builders, industrial OEMs, electronics manufacturers and infrastructure contractors. We provide high-precision fabrication services for metal components including brackets, panels, frames, enclosures, covers and specialized structural assemblies used across various sectors.
Based in Dongguan, XHX Metal operates a 2,000 sqm fabrication facility equipped with laser cutting machines, CNC bending, TIG/MIG/laser welding, automated deburring and CNC machining capability. These advanced processes support both rapid prototyping and volume production of durable sheet metal parts for demanding applications.
Types of OEM Sheet Metal Parts
OEM sheet metal components should be specified based on their mechanical function, material properties, and the intended operating environment. XHX Metal can fabricate a wide range of parts after reviewing your 2D drawings (DXF/DWG) or 3D models (STEP/IGS).
- Custom mounting brackets and structural supports for industrial machinery and automotive applications.
- Front panels, chassis covers, and interface plates with precise cutouts for electronics and control systems.
- Internal frames, racks, and partitions for server cabinets, power equipment, and modular systems.
- Enclosures and housings for outdoor equipment, medical devices, and high-value instrumentation.
- Custom bases, plinths, cable-entry plates, and accessory hardware kits.
Applications of Custom OEM Metal Parts
Custom OEM sheet metal parts are utilized wherever durable, precision-engineered metal components are required. The specific material and finish vary by industry, while the parts must provide structural integrity and match the customer’s assembly interfaces.
Industrial Machinery and Equipment
For manufacturing systems and heavy machinery, robust metal parts such as guards, brackets, and equipment frames provide the necessary strength and safety. We fabricate parts that integrate seamlessly with your existing machine designs.
Telecommunications and Data Centers
Precision chassis panels, rack-mount brackets, and enclosure components are essential for maintaining stable IT environments. XHX Metal produces parts that meet the tight tolerances required for high-density hardware installations.
Medical and Laboratory Devices
Medical equipment often requires stainless steel or aluminum parts with high-quality surface finishes. We support the fabrication of housings, internal supports, and panels for specialized diagnostic and lab instruments.
Automotive and Transportation
Custom brackets, thermal shields, and structural panels are used in vehicle manufacturing and infrastructure projects. We provide parts that meet specific material grades and durability standards.
Renewable Energy and EV Infrastructure
Sheet metal parts for solar mounting systems, battery storage frames, and charging station components require excellent weather resistance. We can build parts to your environmental and mechanical specifications.
Custom Electronics and IoT Devices
From small-scale sensor housings to larger control unit covers, we provide the mechanical protection for your electronic innovations. XHX Metal handles the fabrication while you manage the electronic integration.
Why Choose XHX Metal for OEM Fabrication?
Expert DFM Review for Cost-Efficiency
We review your drawings from a manufacturability perspective, suggesting optimizations for bend radii, material utilization, and welding access to reduce costs and improve lead times before production starts.
Advanced 6kW Laser Cutting & Precision Bending
Our laser cutting machines provide fast, accurate cuts in various metals (steel, stainless, aluminum, copper). Combined with CNC bending, we ensure high repeatability for multi-component assemblies.
Welding and Finishing Ready Construction
TIG, MIG, and laser welding capabilities allow us to deliver welded subassemblies and full frames. We also offer secondary operations like PEM hardware insertion and coordination with trusted coating partners for professional finishes.
Material Versatility and Customization
We work with a wide range of materials including Cold Rolled Steel (SPCC), Galvanized Steel (SECC/SGCC), Stainless Steel (304/316), Aluminum, and Copper, in thicknesses customized to your project requirements.
Scalable Production from Prototyping to Volume
With a ~30-person expert team and 2,000 sqm shop, we support initial prototyping for R&D as well as pilot runs and full-scale production orders for our OEM partners.
Product Comparison: Standard vs. Custom OEM Parts
| Feature | Standard Off-the-Shelf Parts | XHX Custom OEM Parts |
| Mechanical Fit | Requires design compromises | Designed to match your exact assembly |
| Material Choice | Restricted to standard inventory | Full range of materials and specific grades |
| Branding/Cutouts | Generic design | Custom cutouts, logos, and specific mounting patterns |
| Production Lead Time | Immediate (if in stock) | Custom scheduled based on your project timeline |
While standard parts may be suitable for simple needs, custom OEM fabrication ensures that every component is optimized for performance, aesthetics, and ease of assembly in your final product.
How to Order Custom OEM Sheet Metal Parts
To receive an accurate quotation for your project, please provide as much technical detail as possible. This helps us ensure the parts are fabricated exactly to your requirements.
- Complete drawing package (2D DXF/DWG for cutting and 3D STEP/IGS for bending/welding).
- Material specification (type, grade, and thickness).
- Required surface finish (e.g., natural, powder coating, anodizing, or plating).
- Tolerance requirements and critical dimensions.
- Target quantity and delivery schedule.
- Assembly requirements (e.g., PEM hardware, welded nuts, or riveted parts).
XHX Metal’s engineering team will review your data and provide fabrication-oriented feedback to ensure high-quality, cost-effective results.

FAQ: OEM Sheet Metal Parts
What materials can XHX Metal use for OEM parts?
We commonly work with stainless steel (304, 316), aluminum (5052, 6061), carbon steel (SPCC, SPHC), and galvanized steel. We can also source specialized alloys upon request.
What is the maximum sheet thickness you can process?
With our 6kW fiber laser cutters, we can cut up to 25mm in carbon steel, 16mm in stainless steel, and 12mm in aluminum, depending on the part geometry and tolerance requirements.
Do you provide DFM (Design for Manufacturing) feedback?
Yes. We review every order for bend feasibility, welding access, and part nesting. If we find opportunities to improve quality or reduce cost, we will communicate these suggestions to your engineering team.
Can you handle small prototype orders?
Yes. We support our customers from the prototyping phase through to full-scale production. We understand that R&D projects require flexibility and fast turnaround.
Do you provide surface finishing like powder coating?
While our core expertise is in fabrication and welding, we work with a network of qualified partners to provide powder coating, anodizing, plating, and silk-screening according to your specifications.
