Sheet Metal Shearing
Fast and precise sheet metal shearing with FTI Manufacturing- a cost-efficient, low-waste solution for cutting sheets or blanks to custom dimensions.
Quick • Efficient • Low-Waste
Rapid, Precise Sheet Metal Shearing
At FTI Manufacturing, shearing is a foundational step in our precision sheet metal fabrication workflow, ensuring dimensionally accurate blanks and minimal material waste. Sheet metal is available in various dimensions, typically ranging from 36″–60″ in width and 96″–144″ in length, and must be cut into smaller blanks tailored to the size requirements of the final components.
Our shearing process begins by securely clamping a sheet of metal between the top and bottom blades of our advanced shearing machines. As the top blade slices through, the material is pressed onto the lower blade, cleanly removing excess metal to produce smooth, accurate blanks. Utilizing a synchronized moving beam, electronically adjustable rake angle, and precise blade gap control, the process ensures twist-free, consistent results. Hydraulic clamping and programmable stroke lengths further optimize cutting for both large-format sheets and smaller pieces, delivering high-quality, functional components ready for downstream fabrication.
Our skilled shearing team, supported by digital controls and DRO-enabled back gauges, produces precise blanks ready for turret punching, bending, and assembly. With low-maintenance hydraulics, hardened guideways, and high-alloy four-side usable blades, FTI Manufacturing’s shearing system guarantees premium cut quality, durability, and productivity, ensuring your parts meet exact standards with zero compromise.

Engineering & Design Support
At FTI Manufacturing, our in-house engineering and design team provides end-to-end support from concept to production. Whether it’s new product development, design optimization, or reverse engineering, we work collaboratively with our clients to develop cost-effective, manufacturable solutions tailored to their specific needs.
Our team is proficient in handling a wide range of industry demands and production challenges. We assist in refining part geometries, simplifying fabrication processes, and reducing material and operational costs, helping our clients improve functionality without compromising efficiency or quality.
FTI supports direct import and unfolding of 3D models in formats such as .dwg, .step, .iges, .sldasm, .sldprt, and .dxf using tools like SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and other major CAD platforms. These files are seamlessly integrated into our CAM workflow, enabling faster processing, reduced errors, and shortened lead times for your sheet metal components
Lean, JIT & Kanban – Driving Efficiency from Concept to Delivery
At FTI Manufacturing, we leverage the Just-In-Time (JIT) inventory strategy to align production precisely with your ordering needs. This reduces idle inventory, optimizes costs, and ensures you receive a high-quality product delivered on time, every time, at a competitive price.
We pair JIT with the Kanban system to streamline our lean production practices. By setting clear minimum and maximum stock levels, we maintain a highly responsive pull-based system that adapts to your demand without unnecessary waste.
Our approach not only reduces excess inventory for both customers and suppliers but also ensures seamless production flow and faster lead times. With full pipeline visibility through our tracking systems, FTI keeps your supply chain running smoothly, reliably, and efficiently.
