Clear communication through precise fabrication shop drawings is essential for metal fabricators. Industry best practices in sheet metal design detailing and modeling minimize rework and optimize costs for sheet metal components used in diverse applications. Fabricators investing time and resources in understanding design features, sheet thickness, and manufacturing processes benefit from advanced CAD technologies like SolidWorks and Inventor, speeding up design cycles. Practices such as DFMA and MBD reduce design iterations and overall manufacturing project costs.
Discover the game-changing advantages of 3D CAD modeling in sheet metal product fabrication. This insightful article highlights how sheet metal modeling improves accuracy, speeds up the design process, reduces material waste, enhances visualization, and enables seamless collaboration. Unleash the power of 3D CAD modeling to optimize your sheet metal fabrication workflow and deliver exceptional products with precision and efficiency.
60% of metal fabrication project budgets are allocated to raw materials. It is crucial to estimate materials accurately and minimize waste. Creating precise metal fabrication shop drawings ensures accurate estimates and optimized material purchase, while also reducing change orders and minimizing scrap. Here are the top five things you should consider when creating fabrication shop drawings for efficiency.
A building product fabricator collaborated with Hitech CADD Services to read accurate design intelligence from PDF drawings for large assemblies of structural metal products. Our engineers used bottom-up design approach to model the structures in SolidWorks 3D to bring down design time, avoid information clutter and deliver 1500 drawings/month.
