Sheet Metal & Fabrication Design
Sheet metal and fabrication design with flat patterns, correct bend allowances and weld detailing — drawings the fabricator can cut and fold directly from.
Industry
Sheet Metal & Steel Fabrication Design
Fabricated housings, guards, enclosures, machine frames, structural guides and industrial steelwork designed and detailed for the shop floor — flat patterns to your bend data, DXFs on your layers, weld symbols to AWS or ISO, cut lists and BOM-complete drawing packages. For fabricators who need a drawing office, and for OEMs whose fabricator needs better drawings.
What This Sector Needs
Drawings Your Laser, Brake And Welder Agree On
Fabrication shops lose time to drawings that were never made for them: flat patterns that do not match the brake, welds with no symbol, holes without hardware specification. We design and detail from your shop data — material, gauge and bend tables, welding process, hardware catalogues — so what arrives can be programmed, bent and welded without a phone call.
Our fabrication work includes a fabricated gearbox housing, machine frames and guards, a sheet metal and fabrication design programme and structural guide systems, and we extend into structural steel detailing for platforms, supports and plant frames.
- Sheet metal parts with flat patterns, bend tables and DXF for laser, plasma and punch
- Weldments and frames with cut lists, weld symbols and sequence notes
- Enclosures, guards, cabinets, chutes and hoppers with hardware integration
- Structural steel shop and erection drawings for industrial steelwork
- Post-weld machining drawings for bores and faces that must come out true
- DFM review of existing designs for bend feasibility, weld access and cost
Delivered Work
Projects In Sheet Metal & Steel Fabrication
Real projects from our portfolio. Client names are withheld under NDA; the engineering is ours.
Fabricated Gearbox Housing Design
A gearbox housing designed as a welded fabrication instead of a casting — plate-by-plate detailing with weld preparation and machining allowances.
Structural Guide Design
Structural guide design for machine motion — rails, supports and mounting detailed for alignment and rigidity along the full travel.
