Sheet metal has always been a popular option for design and manufacturing teams in the automotive, industrial equipment and construction sectors and for good reasons. Sheet metal is strong, durable, moldable, lightweight and cost-effective. For example, with sheet metal you can create lightweight yet structurally rigid parts, unlike bulky casting or machined parts. It’s also more cost effective for mass production compared to costly investment casting, forging or 3D printing manufacturing
