How to make custom metal parts

Engineers and designers need to understand the materials, manufacturing processes, and use cases of parts in order to determine the appropriate method for creating them. The following is an overview of eight different manufacturing processes that can be used to create custom metal parts.
Introduction to Sheet Metal Processing

Sheet metal working is a process whereby flat metal sheets (usually between 0.15 mm and 10 mm thick) are made into components and structures of various shapes. The raw material for this process is flat sheet metal. Sheet metal fabrication is used to manufacture objects such as housings, enclosures, brackets, stamped parts, crimps, etc. It […]
