Rapid Sheet Metal Inc. Unveils Online 3D Tooling Library

By DE Editors

Rapid Sheet Metal Inc. announced the release of its online 3D tooling library of features such as embosses, louvers and half shears. SolidWorks users can now download a SolidWorks model of their specific tooled feature and integrate it into the design they are creating on their desktop. Recognizing many mechanical engineers don’t have the time to design their own basic features for sheet metal parts, Rapid Sheet Metal is providing tooling designs.

“By making use of Rapid’s library of sheet metal tooled features, our customers will be able to save time and potentially money in both the design and fabrication processes.” said James Jacobs, president of Rapid Sheet Metal. “Users will be able to literally drag and drop native SolidWorks features in the Rapid Tooling Library into their designs.   By integrating these features into their design, the user will be confident that Rapid already has the in-house tooling for fabrication and that additional time and expense will not be required to obtain specialized tooling.”
