This week, Chris sits down to discuss 5 sheet metal design challenges that designers may come across for their next sheet metal manufacturing project.
By understanding common issues from material behavior, bending metal and springback, tooling limitations and finishing requirements, you can create parts that are easier and more efficient to manufacture - reducing time wasted with back and forth communication.
If you face challenges during the design phase, our team of engineering experts can help. They can work from your initial concept – whether it’s a simple sketch, a verbal description or a set of components and boards.
