Manufacturing products, parts and sub-assembles from sheet metal is incredibly flexible and rewarding. It is truly amazing what one is able to achieve with experience in the process. One can produce designs and parts of unparalleled sophistication and functionality.
Intelligently done sheet metal parts can reduce component count, simplify assembly, improve manufacturing efficiency, service, robustness and trim costs. The technology, in the hands of experienced designers, can be the secret to reliable, cost-effective and easy to manufacture products.
At the most basic level one can produce parts with integrated features such that the resulting assembly can go together with ease. Using intelligence in the design of such parts in order to reduce BOM size, costs and labor is, again, one of the advantages of sheet metal parts. This requires experience and an understanding of the process. Thankfully you’ve come to the right place, we have been designing entire products based on sheet metal technology for years.
Yes, sheet metal technology doesn’t stop at mere parts. It can be the key technology that brings a product together. Perhaps the most familiar example of this are enclosures for PC’s. They have evolved over the years to showcase just what’s possible with sheet metal
And yet, it is sometimes a good idea to combine technologies in order to achieve best results. For example, machined hubs coupled to sheet metal actuators can be effective lower-cost options in automated equipment. Injection molded clip-on parts that go on a sheet metal carrier is another example of this. Another exciting technology is plastic or rubber over-molding of a sheet metal inner stiffener.
