A printer frame (12) comprising a sheet metal skeleton structure (14) encasing a filler material (54) of castable polymer. The frame (12) is fabricated by joining sheet metal members using slot-and-slot or slot-and-tab junctions to form a sheet metal skeleton. A filler material (54) substance is then applied strategically to cavities (16) and troughs (18) created when the interlocking members are joined. When the filler material (54) hardens, the resulting printer frame (12) provides structural support with improved vibration damping.
