Sheet metal design is where good ideas become manufacturable parts. Strong sheet metal design makes it easier to cut, bend, weld, and finish parts accurately while keeping costs under control.
As experts in sheet metal design and custom metal fabrication, we work with customers to refine design details such as shape, size, complexity, materials, bend radii, and hardware so the design is optimal for production. Fluid Power Support specifically calls out manufacturing design assistance and engineering and design assistance as part of its service offering for new custom metal fabrication projects.
As a sheet metal design and fabrication company, we use modern CAD tools and a deep understanding of manufacturing processes to ensure your sheet metal design will run smoothly on the shop floor.
Our sheet metal design capabilities are supported by:
Engineering and design assistance for new custom metal fabrication projects
Experienced CAD designers/drafters who develop drawings, plans, and schematics for production
A state-of-the-art fabrication facility with laser cutting, CNC plasma cutting, bending, welding, robotic welding, sawing, drilling, sand blasting, and powder coating
We synchronize our precision metal work with the highest quality of customer service, while using state-of-the-art technologies that provide customized metal fabrication solutions to fulfill our customer needs.
We are pleased to announce that we are a part of the Made in Missouri USA Program sponsored by the Missouri Association of Manufacturers and the Missouri Buy MO Program, sponsored by the Office of the Governor Mike Kehoe. Both Programs are designed to showcase and support all the incredible and unique products made by Missouri manufactures and business.
We respond quickly with clear pricing, lead times, and any recommendations that could improve cost, manufacturability, or performance.
Sheet metal design is the process of turning a concept or requirement into a manufacturable sheet metal part or assembly. It covers material selection, thickness, bend radii, flange lengths, hole patterns, hardware, and tolerances so parts can be cut, formed, welded, and finished efficiently and consistently.
At FPS, sheet metal design is closely tied to our custom metal fabrication, laser cutting, bending, and welding processes, so designs are created with real production in mind.
Good sheet metal design helps:
Because we offer engineering and design assistance plus full manufacturing, sheet metal design becomes a direct bridge between your ideas and finished parts.
Sheet metal design is often the first step before:
Designs are created so the part flows through these processes smoothly, reducing bottlenecks and surprises.
Preferred file types for sheet metal design and fabrication quotes are DXF, DWG, STP and PDF.
For the fastest and most accurate response, include:
We’ll review your information, suggest sheet metal design improvements if needed, and provide a clear quote.
Sheet metal design has a direct impact on cost:
By addressing these items early in sheet metal design, we help you avoid costly changes later in production.
To get started:
We’ll connect you with our engineering and design assistance team, develop a manufacturable sheet metal design, and then move into production when you’re ready.
