Thieman Manufacturing Technologies
Engineered to Exceed Expectations
Each custom copper part we manufacture at Thieman is always met with the utmost care and precision. During our copper fabrication process, our skilled engineers work with close detail to bring the final production piece to life.
Known for its reddish-brown hue, copper is a metal commonly used in electrical equipment because it’s such a good conductor of heat and electricity. It’s one of the oldest metals known to man, and continually finds use in cooking and household industries. With over 400 different copper alloys used today, there’s a reason why it remains the popular choice for production everywhere.
Ductile
High resistance to corrosion
Easily fabricated
High thermal and electrical conductivity
Machining Options for Copper Fabrication
CNC Milling – Our precision metal bending services are intended to bend sheet metal into various shapes such as a “V” or a “U” shape. At TMT Fab, our technicians use press-brake forming, swaging, rolling, and various other metal-bending solutions to deliver high-quality precision results.
CNC Turning – This process pieces away at a metal bar until it is formed into the desired shape.
CNC Punching – State of the art technology gives all our CNC machining equipment the benefits of increased production capacity, speed, and versatility all while providing exceptional results.
Laser Cutting – The ideal solution to burn, melt, cut, or vaporize small-medium sized metals to leave precise edges and high-quality surface finishes.
Metal Forming – This process aggressively bends metal sheets and plates between 90 tons and 175-250 tons. Our technician operated press brakes can make predetermined bends resulting in a variety of different shapes.
Metal Rolling – TMT’s custom plate rolling and sheet rolling machines can accurately roll steel and aluminum to almost any custom dimension, thickness, or specification, with enough speed to meet even high-volume production orders.
Metal Sawing – Our metal sawing capabilities allow us to precisely cut any shape, angle, bar, pipe, tubing, and channel with ease.

Also called “Bead Blasting,” this finish creates a smooth matte appearance on metals.
Parts and applications may have an anodized finish for a wide variety of custom colors, which may include clear, black, gold, or desired custom colors.
Powder coating is a painting process where powdered paint is sprayed on a part or application prior to heating. The result is a strong layer that is more resistant to wear and corrosion.
This process also allows for a wide selection of colors for the further customization of color.
This layer of zinc coating provides protection from corrosion.
This three-step process coats fabricated metals in a bath of molten zinc, protecting it from corrosion.
A process that alters the physical and chemical properties of a metal, by heating it or cooling it to extreme temperatures to make the material harder or softer.
Using a pump, spray, or pressurized vessel, liquid paint is evenly applied to a part or application.
This dipping (immersion) process uses organic paint particles, where the paint based finish is able to stick on a metal surface with the help of electrical currents.
If a custom finish is required for an order, or the finish is not listed on our site, please include this information when requesting a quote. We can likely still complete the project.
All of our quotes on copper parts are designed to be competitive on pricing, and provide high turnaround times for project pricing. We’re able to provide 24-hour quotes, and complete most within the Same Day.
All of our copper fabrication options are offered all over the United States. With 20+ years in the metal fabrication industry, Thieman guarantees quality, competitive pricing, and fast turnaround times to provide complete customer satisfaction.
