    Advantages of Using an Optimized Sheet Metal Design

    Choosing the proper materials and testing your design before manufacturing lends you numerous benefits. Carefully optimizing your design will:
    • Enhance performance. Sometimes, all it takes is just a few tweaks to an existing design to drastically improve the performance or functionality of your product. Adding additional supports to the design of your metal shelf, for instance, will improve its capacity for holding heavy loads. Similarly, including a removable side panel in your material handling basket can facilitate easier and faster unloading processes, decreasing labor needs and costs.
    • Better your product's cost-to-life ratio. Selecting a material that's ideally suited to your application helps you avoid receiving subpar metal forms that rapidly wear out and require costly replacement. Also, an optimized design that enhances a part or product's lifespan allows you to make the most out of your investment and save on re-orders over time.
    • Speed up delivery. Virtually testing the design of your custom metal fabrication using Autodesk will help you avoid the long and costly process of developing, shipping, and testing several versions of physical prototypes. If your product design doesn’t pass the simulation, we'll collaborate with you to rework it in a way that resolves the root cause of the failure. As a result, you'll have the peace of mind that the custom metal forming process will generate a product that meets or surpasses your requirements right from the start, not after many months of time-consuming testing.
    At Marlin Steel, our precision-manufactured sheet metal forms perform correctly the first time.
