Rapid sheet metal, Inc., specializes in rapid sheet metal ® prototypes, has developed a rapid tooling system for custom sheet metal hinges. Utilities system's flexibility allows most sheet metal fabrications of custom hinge to be prototyped during two weeks for less than $ 1,000.
"When it comes to rapid manufacturing, every day, every hour and every minute really counts," said James Jacobs, President of rapid sheet metal Inc. "By eliminating the long lead times associated with punch press tools for hinges, mechanical engineers and product developers can test and iterate their designs which include hinges in weeks rather than months. "
Traditionally, designers are limited to hinges tools as their production sheet metal fabricator have in stock if they are willing to pay up to $ 5,000 and wait 2 or more weeks for the tool to produce their specific hinge design geometry. Rapid sheet metal Inc admitted that this compromised the flexibility of their customers to design sheet metal parts such as cabinets, drawers, doors and covers. After hearing numerous stories about frustration, rapid sheet metal Inc investigated the possibility of a low-cost, quick turn custom hinge tool systems and order, was able to implement it.
Custom hinge tool can be manufactured for rapid sheet metal ® parts made of aluminium, cold rolled steel and stainless steel. Rapid sheet metal Inc also offers custom powder coating of any design, which gives a durable, colored finish and out sourced plating services.
