Sheet Metal Engineering Services
ATACO Steel Products’ in-house engineering team provides technical support from initial concept through production launch. Our engineers specialize in deep draw stamping, metal stamping, sheet metal fabrication, and laser cutting, and work directly with your team to develop parts that are right the first time.
Engineering Services
- Pre-design technical support: Process and product feasibility review before detailed design begins
- Design for manufacturability (DFM): Review of your drawings and CAD models for features that would cause problems in stamping or fabrication, with modifications that preserve design intent while reducing cost and lead time
- Sheet metal forming simulation with FASTFORM Advanced: Validates die design before tooling is built, producing first-time-correct dies in 90% of design cases
- Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) : Systematically identifies potential failure modes in a manufacturing process and documents the controls in place to prevent defects, a standard requirement for OEM supplier qualification programs
Software supported:
- FASTFORM Advanced: Sheet metal forming simulation
- SolidWorks: 3D solid modeling
- Mechanical Desktop: 3D wire frame modeling
- AutoCAD: 2D drawing and layout
- PolyWorks: Dimensional inspection and analysis
