In the rapid sheet metal industry, customers might face certain pain points. One such challenge is costly delays, and this pain point demonstrates the importance of scalability and rapid manufacturing. It’s essential to work with someone who can deliver rapid parts. The right manufacturing partner will help you avoid costly delays. They can also produce more products, and can lead to higher customer satisfaction.
It’s important to choose the right manufacturing partner for your rapid sheet metal parts. Let’s dive into the criteria you need to consider when choosing your partner, and then we’ll discuss why Metal Works is the best choice for you.
What to Consider When Choosing a Manufacturing Partner
There are several key factors to consider when choosing a manufacturing partner for your rapid sheet metal parts.
First, it’s important to partner with a manufacturer who uses advanced machinery, which allows for high-quality products. Metal Works has a vast assortment of advanced equipment and automated machinery. Equipment that allows for precise and accurate production will reduce costly errors and ensure you receive top quality products.
You also need to consider the manufacturer’s capabilities for on-time delivery. A rapid sheet metal parts manufacturer should have the machinery and services available that allow for rapid production and on-time delivery in order to avoid costly delays.
How Metal Works Delivers Rapid Sheet Metal Parts
Metal Works is a one-stop manufacturing facility, which is beneficial because that means we can control every step of the process, limiting parts getting hung up with outside vendors, which can be costly and slow. Let’s take a deeper look at how Metal Works delivers rapid sheet metal parts
Design
Our expert team at Metal Works can help finetune designs for manufacturability and avoid time-consuming errors down the line. For instance, our engineers review every part drawing and our expert team provides Design for Manufacturability aid (DFM) free of charge. This allows us to make sure your design is fully optimized before production. The engineering team has more than 100 years of experience combined, and we are able to provide you with expert guidance.
During the design process, our team will work with you to prepare a part design that meets your exact specifications and minimizes errors from the very beginning. This will save you time, as you will avoid costly mistakes, and allow our team to move to the prototyping phase faster. Our team also works well with customers, figuring out how to finalize design and improve manufacturability for design to streamline products.
Prototyping
Metal Works is able to achieve high-quality rapid sheet metal parts starting with our prototyping process with our advanced equipment and rapid timeline. Throughout production, Metal Works employs a skilled team that prioritizes efficiency and quality. After the design stage, you can employ our expert prototyping services to review a tangible model of your part in order to determine if it is ready for large-scale production.
We offer 1-3 day rapid prototypes, which allows you to move onto the production phase quickly. In contrast, a slow prototyping process will mean that you are waiting weeks to review your prototype, further delaying the process. We can serve you quickly whether you need low-volume rapid prototypes or high-volume production runs, and we are able to meet tight timelines.
Production
Metal Works also employs a skilled team. Pairing our experts with our advanced automated equipment allows for rapid sheet metal production. In fact, we can produce parts in as little as 1-4 weeks. Our advanced equipment is capable of producing rapid sheet metal parts quickly and accurately. This cutting-edge technology allows for laser cuts up to .005 inch, bends accurately to .010 inch, punched holes up to .001 inch, and threaded holes and inserts. We also have equipment capable of numerous services, including forming, grinding, sheet metal laser cutting, sheet metal welding, sheet metal punching, hardware and pem inserts, painting, machining, and drilling and tapping.
Delivery
Metal Works also has exceptional on-time rapid delivery capabilities. As a one-stop manufacturing facility, we are able to streamline the process after production with our in-house secondary services, which include in-house painting and powder coating. Advanced automation also allows for rapid laser cutting, punching, and forming, which improves handling and processing time. Our capabilities allow for 96% on-time delivery annually, and our own delivery fleet travels within 100 miles. We are more than capable of saving you time and money with our on-time delivery capabilities.
