What does automotive sheet metal mean?
1 Answers
Automotive sheet metal is a type of vehicle repair technique, which involves the processing method of restoring deformed parts of a car's metal body. Automotive sheet metal is also equivalent to automotive sheet metal repair, referring to the restoration of the vehicle body after a collision—that is, all tasks except for the anti-corrosion and decorative painting work on the body. A car is a highly precise entity, where electrical and mechanical components must be attached to their corresponding positions on the body with high precision and minimal error. The straight and curved lines of the car paint also heavily rely on the error values of the body's sheet metal. Therefore, automotive sheet metal and its repair have become a purely manual trade in the automotive industry—one with no rigid standards, no automated tools, and no straightforward teaching methods.
