Distinct Features and Benefits
- Durability: Parts produced are capable of withstanding extreme forces and are used in structural applications.
- Scalability: Easily transition from prototyping to full-scale production without extensive downtime or additional costs.
- Speed: Sheet metal parts can be fabricated quickly using techniques like stamping, bending, and cutting, which is ideal for rapid prototyping and urgent production runs.
Applications in Automotive
- Structural and Aesthetic Components: Widely used for both functional structural components like frames and aesthetic components like body panels.
- Heat Shields and Underbody Components: Besides visible parts, sheet metal is also used for critical underbody protection components that require durability.
- Panels and Frames: Includes external body panels and internal frames that are integral to the vehicle's structural integrity.
- Brackets and Mounts: Custom brackets and mounts that are designed to meet specific mounting requirements within the vehicle.
