Rapid Sheet Metal Inc. has announced the release of a sheet metal design technical video “Proper Feature Location to Bends,” which is the first in a series of video sheet metal design technical tips for design engineers.  

“Offering a series of sheet metal design technique videos to fellow engineers is a great opportunity to help out the people we work with on a daily basis,” says Steve Lynch, engineering manager at Rapid Sheet Metal. “It benefits both sides. Our clients are able to better prepare their sheet metal designs for manufacturability, saving them time and money, and Rapid receives 3D CAD files that will flow through the shop quickly, increasing the chance that we can ship their parts early.”

Rapid Sheet Metal plans to introduce a new tech tip every two months. The first sheet metal tech tip is now available for viewing on the Rapid Sheet Metal web page.
