SchmartBoard Offers a $30/Hr

SchmartBoard is better known for its line of prototyping products, and less so, for its prototyping related services. SchmartBoard is planning a significant push to introduce companies to our service offerings through the 1st quarter of 2010.  To begin the campaign, during the months of December 2009 through January 2010, PCB layout will be offered at 72% off our normal pricing of $108/hr.

“SchmartBoard has become the de facto product for hand soldering surface mount circuits together, which we are very happy about”, says Neal Greenberg, SchmartBoard’s VP of Sales and Marketing.  “We also have a vibrant and competent engineering team who can add significant value to customers of SchmartBoards’ by offering other services to augment their prototyping needs.  SchmartBoard gains most of its service customers from those who use our boards and referrals.  They include everyone from start-ups to large corporate entities.”

In addition to PCB layout, SchmartBoard can offer PCB design, PCB fabrication, small and medium volume manufacturing, mechanical engineering and full turn-key services.  We have an office in Fremont, CA and in Taiwan with all of the benefits of Asia at our disposal.

Inquiries can be made at info@schmartboard.com or by calling the main office.  More information on our engineering and manufacturing services can be found at: http://www.schmartboard.com/index.asp?page=services

Rapid Sheet Metal Inc offers Inexpensive Custom Hinge Tooling for Sheet Metal Prototypes

Rapid Sheet Metal, Inc., specializing in rapid sheet metal® prototypes, has developed a rapid tooling system for custom sheet metal hinges.  The tooling system’s flexibility permits most sheet metal fabrications featuring custom hinges to be prototyped in under two weeks for less than $1,000. "When it comes to rapid manufacturing, every day, every hour and even every minute really counts," says James Jacobs, President of Rapid Sheet Metal Inc. "By eliminating the long lead-times associated with punch press tooling for hinges, mechanical engineers and product developers can test and iterate their designs which incorporate hinges in weeks instead of months."

Traditionally, designers are limited to the hinge tooling that their production sheet metal fabricator has in inventory unless they are willing to pay up to $5,000 and wait 2 or more weeks for tooling to produce their specific hinge design geometry.  Rapid Sheet Metal Inc recognized that this compromised the flexibility of its customers when designing sheet metal parts such as enclosures, boxes, doors and covers.  After hearing multiple tales of frustration, Rapid Sheet Metal Inc investigated the feasibility of a low cost, fast turn custom hinge tooling system and in quick order, was able to implement it.
Custom hinge tooling can be manufactured for rapid sheet metal® parts made of aluminum, cold rolled steel and stainless steel.  In addition, Rapid Sheet Metal Inc offers in-house powder coating of any design, which provides a durable, colored finish and out-sourced plating services.

Rapid Sheet Metal Inc focuses strictly on providing rapid sheet metal® prototypes and time sensitive short run fabrications to new product developers and engineers. Typical quote response time is under 24 hours and most parts are shipped in one to two weeks. A 48-hour fast expedite prototype sheet metal service is also available. Parts such as brackets, racks, housings, and enclosures are fabricated to data from Solidworks, Pro/E, Inventor, KeyCreator/ Cadkey, SpaceClaim and other 3D CAD data sources from stainless steel, cold rolled steel and aluminum.
