Did you know that the design for your formed precision sheet metal part might not be manufacturable at many metal fabrication shops? Most shops rely on standard press brake tooling to efficiently fabricate formed sheet metal parts, and they may no-quote parts that they can’t easily manufacture. But at Approved Sheet Metal, we’re committed to getting you the sheet metal parts you need, and our forming experts can take your part design from “no-quote” to “no problem.” Learn about the techniques we use for projects where standard press brake tooling is not an option on our blog: https://bit.ly/3MbVuMf #SheetMetalForming #ApprovedSheetMetal

✓ Productivity isn't just a metric; it's the heartbeat of any successful stamping shop. ✓ Right behind safety, it should be the top priority for tool design engineers and tool room teams when manufacturing or refurbishing dies. ✓ Frequent tool failures and replacements due to premature wear can be a productivity killer. ✓ This not only leads to costly downtime but also impacts the overall cost of ownership. ✓ To combat this, understanding the nuances of material type, thickness, machine capabilities, and lubrication is crucial. ✓ Every application is unique and demands a tailored approach. ✓ By optimizing tool design, material selection, and coatings, we can significantly enhance tool life and boost productivity. ✓ It is time to shift the focus from short-term cost-cutting to long-term efficiency. #manufacturing #productivity #tooling #engineering #quality #costofownership #downtime #efficiency

In the past, program transfers typically referred to moving a mold or two. Today, the scope of program transfers encompasses nearly every aspect of the supply chain. From molds and machining to subassemblies with secondary operations and full assemblies, the opportunities are unlimited. With the right preparation and a capable partner, even complex transfers can achieve desirable outcomes. This white paper explores the best practices for a successful program transfer process.
