Cutout placement in sheet metal parts may seem like a small design detail — but it has a major impact on manufacturability, cost, and structural integrity.
In this week’s Proto Tech Tip, Chris walks through the essential do’s and don’ts of cutout placement for sheet metal parts and enclosures. You’ll learn how cutout location affects bending, edge strength, fastener installation, and overall part quality — and how small design adjustments can prevent distortion, cracking, and costly rework.
At Protocase and ProtoSpace Mfg, our High-Velocity Mass Customization (HVMC) model helps eliminate project latency by manufacturing fully custom sheet metal parts and enclosures — fast.
