Sheet metal fabrication is a well-established production process used in manufacturing sheet metal parts. It involves using techniques such as bending, punching, cutting, forming, etc., to fabricate sheet metal. After producing a sheet metal part, depending on the use and other factor, the sheet metal part can be subjected to a post-processing stage by the application of sheet metal finishes.

From Functional Prototypes to Complex, Low-Volume Parts.
Nylon parts are used widely, but when standard nylon is not tough enough, glass filled nylon is a good candidate. This polyamide engineering plastic offers higher strength, stiffness and heat resistance by adding powdered glass to nylon resin or compounding nylon with glass fibres.
MJF 3D printing is a polymer powder-bed fusion process engineered for high throughput and mechanical consistency. Unlike legacy methods, it delivers functional, end-use parts with near-isotropic properties, making it a highly viable alternative to injection molding for low-to-mid volume production.

Heat treatment processes involve precise heating and cooling procedures to change the physical and mechanical properties of metals. Generally, to alter undesirable properties and strengthen desirable ones. One such heat treatment process is annealing, which allows us to modify the mechanical characteristics of certain metals and alloys to better match their intended use.
By bringing computing power closer to the data source and reducing latency, edge computing enables real-time monitoring and analysis of critical data, which is already revolutionizing various applications, including smart cities and buildings maintenance applications.
