What does auto body sheet metal mean?
1 Answers
Auto body sheet metal is a vehicle repair technique that involves the processing technology for restoring deformed parts of a car's metal exterior. It is essentially equivalent to auto body sheet metal repair, referring to all the work required to restore a vehicle's body after a collision, excluding the anti-corrosion and decorative painting processes. Since automobiles are high-precision integrated systems where electrical components, mechanical parts, and even the straightness or curvature of the paint must precisely align with the body's sheet metal tolerances, body sheet metal work and its repair have become a purely manual trade in the automotive industry—one with no rigid standards, no automated tools, and no intuitive teaching methods.
