Custom Metal Forming
Precision Forming for Every Metal Project
At White Star Fabricators, we bring strength and precision together through our advanced metal forming and shaping capabilities.
From bending and rolling to punching and pressing, we use high-performance machinery to form metal components that meet the most demanding fabrication standards.
Whether you need a one-off custom part or large-scale production, we ensure every piece is shaped with accuracy, consistency, and repeatability.

At White Star Fabricators (SMF), precision starts long before the first piece of metal is cut. Our in-house detailing services ensure every project begins with accurate, thorough, and expertly crafted designs.
Our experienced detailing team utilizes state-of-the-art software to create detailed drawings and 3D models tailored to your unique specifications. These designs serve as the blueprint for flawless fabrication, reducing errors, streamlining production, and ensuring your project meets the highest standards of quality and efficiency.
Metal Bending Services
We use both mechanical and CNC hydraulic press brakes to bend metal plates up to 12’ long to any angle. With four machines in our facility, our largest press brake is a 400-ton monster that can take on 3/4″ steel plate while our ten-tonner handles more delicate projects.
Sheet Metal Rolling
We have three roller machines for rolling plates up to 10’ long, including a huge one housed in the floor of our shop, which we call the “big dog.” It can take on 5/8” steel plate, rolling it into smooth cylinders for projects such as bulk oil tanks and round ductwork. We’ve also got two angle rollers that we use to bend angled metal on a curve — say, for example, if we’re working on a set of industrial spiral stairs.
Steel Punching
For heavy steel punching, we’ve got two 50-ton hydraulic web and flange beam punches. But when we need to be more exact, we’ll use the CNC 30-ton Strippit punch press we have in our bay.
Other Metal Forming Capabilities
We also use three multi-function Ironworkers to help manage all the shearing, punching, and bending work that comes through our shop. When needed, we also use them to notch metal.
We’ve pretty much got everything you’d need to form metal, whether your custom metal fabrication project requires bending, rolling, or punching thick carbon-steel plate or copper filigree
