Sheetmetal Fabrication and Engineering
About
our company
VectorFab is a metal fabrication shop based in Christchurch. We specialize in cutting, bending, and welding sheet metal for clients who value accuracy, reliability, and top quality.
We handle projects of all sizes and make dependable parts without the slow delays common at bigger companies. Our team is flexible, so we can easily adapt if your project plans change.
We excel at everything from single custom prototypes to regular production runs. From flat metal sheets to finished assemblies, we build every part to fit right and last a long time.
At VectorFab, we believe in honest work, realistic deadlines, and doing the job right the first time. Whether you need a one-off custom piece or ongoing parts, you will work directly with the experts making your items.
Sheetmetal Folding
VectorFab offers high precision press brake folding for sheet metal. We make sure every bend is accurate, clean, and matches the next one. Our folding services work well for single custom pieces or regular production runs.
Using modern press brake equipment, we hit tight tolerances and exact angles every time. Whether your part is simple or complex, we set it up carefully because accurate folding is key to making parts fit and work right.
Our press brake capabilities include:
Precise CNC folding up to 3200mm long
Consistent bend angles and tight tolerances
Complex multi-bend parts
Work with aluminum, mild steel, and stainless steel up to 6mm thick
Prototypes, one-offs, and medium runs
Turret Punching
We provide precision CNC turret punching for fast, accurate sheet metal parts. Turret punching is a quick and affordable way to cut, shape, and punch holes in metal, especially for parts you need over and over or in small-to-medium batches.
Our machines help us make clean, exact parts that match each other every single time.
What we offer:
Fast turnaround on small and medium batches
Complex patterns, slots, and cut-outs
Formed features like louvers, knock-outs, and bumps
Mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum up to 3mm thick (sheets up to 1250x3000mm)
Why turret punching? Turret punching is great when speed, exact copies, and good pricing matter. Compared to laser cutting, it is often cheaper for parts with lots of holes or special shapes, making it a smart choice for metal boxes, brackets, panels, and electrical cabinets.
We take your drawings and turn them into finished parts, making sure everything is ready for bending, welding, or the final finish.
Welding
VectorFab provides high-quality TIG and MIG welding for sheet metal and light fabrication. We deliver strong, clean, and consistent welds for projects that need accuracy, a neat appearance, and solid structural strength.
TIG welding is great for thinner materials and jobs where a smooth finish and high precision matter most.
MIG welding is used when you need strength, speed, and consistency, making it a great fit for mild steel fabrication and structural assemblies.
