Sheet metal fabrication provides buildings and houses that we see day in and out, with architectural designs and functional qualities. Sheet metal fabrication requires SolidWorks 3D CAD models of sheet metal part designs that supports shaping up beautiful buildings into form. The ever evolving demand for both architectural style and materials that can support the outdoor elements makes sheet metal designers and sheet metal fabrication, all the more mandatory.

Sheet Metal Designs Add Functions and Style to Sheet Metal Fabrication

Irrespective of the type of building roof, or the type of material you use from the variety of metals available including aluminum, galvanized, steel, painted, copper etc., you would certainly need sheet metal fabrication to keep water from getting into places where it shouldn’t be. Several parts of the roof and building that requires sheet metal to prevent water damage include gutters, counter-flashing, copings, down spouts, drops and many more. Sheet metal designs by best sheet metal designers, followed with accurate sheet metal fabrication in all these categories provides a unique function to the building, basically to keep water from entering the building.

Building Products and Components Manufacturers , Furniture Manufacturers, Fabricated Metal and Alloy Manufacturers and several others involved in Metal framed windows and doors, ornamental or architectural metal products, prefabricated metal buildings, and structural metal and metal plate work products, Elevators, FACADE, etc., are the patrons to these sheet metal design service providers. These patrons at times get carried away by low cost to think of sheet metal as a commodity material, and all sheet metal designers to be the same. However, the fact remains that they all are not the same.

The quality level of designers for sheet metal fabrication is divided into two areas: reliability and accuracy. There are chances that specific applications may focus on one of these areas over another, but an effective designer eventually provides both.

Accuracy includes a sheet metal designer’s ability to design sheet metal products according to specifications. It includes their ability to work with a wide plethora of metals and deliver great designs in form of shop-drawings or hand sketched details.

Reliability for a designer is in his ability to bring out the designs in right perspective, the very first time. It is not just about the 3D CAD Design process, a sheet metal designer has to get everything from 3D sheet metal model and complete 2D flat drawings, assembly drawings from manual blueprints, manufacturing drawings, fabrication drawings, nesting drawings and much more in the first attempt itself.

Best sheet metal designers are none other than the CAD service providers, who knowingly blend style and design in to their product designs. They are experts at delivering sheet metal design support services for metal components and equipments including metal furniture design for office, residential and commercial needs, building products and outdoor products, doors, frames, windows, kiosks and steel panels to machine tools, automotive parts, industrial products and process equipment.

They provide Design support for 2D and 3D solid sheet metal parts and assemblies drafting & modeling. Or they may even convert 3D models or import CAD models directly to SOLIDWORKS sheet metal models enabling you to give inputs of your own thickness, bend radius, and K-factor. They address the needs of custom colors and designs for contractors and suppliers. They help you gain that flexibility to rapidly and cost-effectively develop sheet metal part designs using SolidWorks 3D design.

A quality sheet metal product designer can save your company time and money by getting everything right the first time. You as a manufacturer might have limited time and attention; using a worry-free designer lets you focus your attention on other matters.
