Sheet Metal Enclosures / Structures
PMD has extensive experience designing sheet metal enclosures, structures, etc.
Sheet metal enclosures are designed to utilize the flattening features in Solidworks. The Solidworks files are then sent to the sheet metal fabricator, which then uses the files to program the CNC punch presses and press brakes.
Examples of previous sheet metal projects include the following
Medical Device Blood Analysis Machine Enclosure Design
A new sheet metal enclosure was designed to replace the customer's previous, much more expensive enclosure that was composed, in part, of very large and expensive machined components. The new enclosure was designed to be made primary of riveted construction.
