Metal for schools and other educational institutions

At Online Metals, we are proud to be the provider of high quality industrial metals to 100s of universities and other schools throughout the United States.

We are flexible in how we work with schools, and can take either a credit card or provide you with Net 30 terms. We will also work with you to ensure that we provide your school with the correct information and paperwork needed for your internal submissions.

Mechanical Engineering and Robotics

Most schools that are purchasing from us are from mechanical engineering or robotics programs. We have a large catalog of materials, alloys, tempers, shapes, and sizes to meet most needs – but if you don’t see something on our site that you want – contact us and we will hunt it down for you.

School Program Sponsorships

During the year we accept sponsorship requests that align with our mission to make metals accessible to everyone.

At the current time we are accepting sponsorship requests for the following only:


  • US High School Robotics Teams
  • US College Engineering and/or Architectural Team Projects
