3D Modeling &Documentation
3D sheet metal modeling, assembly drawings, BoMs and other documents such as part list, DXF files, NC files etc.
GD&T
We follow ASME and other international standards as requested for our GD&T drawings.
We consider several factors such as material type, sheet thickness, required tolerances, and bend radii. Additionally, manufacturing capabilities, environmental conditions, and specific client requirements play crucial roles in completing the work accurately.
The two primary factors taken into consideration by our sheet metal design engineers for radius bending calculations are material thickness and the bend angle. These factors ensure precise and reliable bend formations in the sheet metal.
Yes, the CAD process is integral to our work, ensuring precision and accuracy in the design phase. It allows us to create detailed and exact models that meet all specified requirements.
The typical delivery time for sheet metal design is between 1 to 2 weeks. However, this timeframe can vary depending on the complexity of the project and specific client needs.
We price sheet metal work based on several factors including material costs, the complexity of the design, the time required for fabrication, and the volume of the order. Each of these elements is carefully evaluated to provide a fair and competitive price.
Our team utilizes industry-leading software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and Inventor for designing sheet metal components. These tools help us create accurate and efficient designs.
Yes, we provide both flat patterns and comprehensive manufacturing drawings. These deliverables are essential for the fabrication process and ensure that the final product meets all specifications.
The deliverables of our sheet metal services include detailed 2D CAD drawings, 3D models, flat patterns, and bills of materials (BOMs). These documents provide a complete guide for manufacturing and assembly.
We adhere to Design for Manufacturing (DFM) guidelines by carefully considering material selection, manufacturing constraints, and ease of fabrication. This approach ensures that our designs are practical and efficient for production.
We take industry practices as standards. So, sheet metal fabrication involves processes such as cutting, bending, and assembling metal sheets into the desired shapes and structures. In contrast, sheet metal machining involves removing material from a solid block using tools like mills and lathes to create the final product.
Accurate drawings result in higher fabrication efficiencies
Our sheet metal design experts deliver product-centric customized CAD drafting and detailing for a range of furniture and building products.
