5 Design Tweaks to Reduce Sheet Metal Fabrication Costs by 20%

Introduction: In precision fabrication, 70% of the manufacturing cost is determined at the drawing board. As an agile engineering team, we often see designs that are “over-engineered,” leading to unnecessary complexity and higher price tags. Meida’s DFM Recommendations: Standardize Bend Radii: Using the same radius for all bends in a single part reduces tool changes […]
