In this episode of What’s on the Floor Today, Liam from our production team walks through executing a seam weld on a 5‑sided enclosure using our Cold Metal Transfer (CMT) process.
CMT lets us weld thin‑gauge material while delivering less heat to the part, resulting in cleaner welds, reduced distortion, and reliable enclosures for our customers.

![Proto Tech Tip - Custom Hinged Enclosures for Various Design Applications
In this Proto Tech Tip, Chris breaks down the most popular hinge styles for custom sheet metal enclosures and how to implement them into your design.
Whether you’re designing a 5-sided enclosure, a rackmount chassis, or a custom control panel, adding a hinge is the best way to ensure easy access to internal components. Choosing the right hinge depends on your enclosures material, weight, and intended use.
In this video, we cover:
- Piano Hinges: The versatile, heavy-duty choice for full-length support.
- Lift-Off Hinges: Perfect for lids or doors that need to be completely removed for maintenance.
- Adjustable Torque Position Control Hinges: Ideal for holding doors or lids open at specific angles without extra hardware.
