Our manufacturing processes in sheet metalworking
all-forming is your specialist for precise sheet metalworking in prototype manufacturing, sample production and small-batch production. Our core expertise includes sheet metal forming as well as processes such as deep drawing, bending, punching and embossing. Additional processes such as laser cutting, CNC machining and wire EDM are used to precisely finish sheet metal parts or implement complex geometries.
Thanks to our high vertical integration – from design and toolmaking through to the complete execution of all manufacturing steps – we produce precise sheet metal parts with short delivery times and cost-effective production costs.
Selected projects & components
from sheet metalworking
Our projects demonstrate what is possible with modern sheet metalworking. From the first functional prototype to production-ready sheet metal parts, we implement demanding geometries, tight tolerances and cost-effective solutions.
- On-time implementation
- Flexible
- Everything from a single source
Deep-drawn housing
Production-ready deep-drawn housing component for functional tests and design approvals.
Contact parts / pins / conductor strips
Precisely manufactured contact parts, pins and conductor strips made of thin sheet metal for electrical interfaces in connectors and assemblies. Often produced by swivel bending or punching and subsequently overmoulded.
Embossed cover plates
Targeted structural embossing in sheet metal to increase rigidity and reduce material usage – ideal for lightweight manufacturing and functional components.
Bent electronic housing
Precisely bent sheet metal part with exact bending angles and high dimensional accuracy for robust, precisely fitting system solutions.
3D laser-cut precision component
Three-dimensionally laser-cut components for extending or finishing formed components, ideal for functional additions and complex geometries.
CNC-machined steering knuckle
Formed, CNC-machined steering knuckle with tight tolerances and high-quality surfaces.

Frequently asked questions about sheet metalworking at all-forming (FAQ)
What is meant by sheet metalworking?
Sheet metalworking encompasses all processes for shaping metal sheets, such as forming, deep drawing, punching, bending and embossing.
What quantities is sheet metalworking suitable for?
Sheet metalworking at all-forming is particularly suitable for prototypes, sample parts, small batches and production-ready development components. Thanks to flexible processes and in-house toolmaking, cost-effective production is possible from a quantity of 1.
Which processes are part of sheet metalworking?
Sheet metalworking includes processes such as sheet metal forming, deep drawing, punching, bending and embossing. Additional processes such as laser cutting, CNC machining and wire EDM are used to finish sheet metal parts or implement complex geometries.
What advantages does sheet metalworking offer in prototype manufacturing?
Sheet metalworking enables the production of production-ready components for realistic functional tests. This allows geometries to be validated, components to be optimised, and development times and costs to be reduced before series production begins.
Which materials can be processed in sheet metalworking?
all-forming processes steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper and non-ferrous metals, as well as coated sheet metal. Typical material thicknesses range from 0.1 mm to 6 mm.
How fast are delivery times in sheet metalworking?
Thanks to our high in-house vertical integration – from design and toolmaking through to complete sheet metalworking – short delivery times are possible.
Depending on complexity, material and quantity, delivery times range from a few days to several weeks.
What is the difference between sheet metalworking and sheet metal forming?
Sheet metalworking is the general term for all processes, while sheet metal forming specifically describes plastic deformation without material removal. Both are often used in combination.
How can parts be ordered from all-forming and what does the process involve?
The ordering process at all-forming is simple and efficient – with personal support from the very beginning:
- You send us your CAD data (e.g. STEP, DXF) or a technical drawing with all specific requirements (material, coating, quantity).
- You will receive a non-binding quotation from your personal contact shortly thereafter.
- After placing your order, you will receive an order confirmation containing all relevant details.
- From this point on, all-forming takes over the entire production process – from planning through to on-time delivery.
