Sheet Metal Manufacturing Process for Prototypes and Production
A reliable manufacturing process helps reduce design risks and improve production efficiency. VOK works with engineers from the early design stage to optimize manufacturability and reduce unnecessary costs.
The typical process includes:
- Design review and engineering analysis
- Engineers evaluate your CAD files and recommend improvements for better production efficiency.
- Sélection des matériaux
- The team selects suitable materials based on strength, weight, environment, and application requirements.
- Sheet metal processing
- Cutting, flexion, perforation, and forming are completed using professional equipment.
- Welding and assembly
- Soudage laser, TIG welding, and spot welding ensure strong and precise connections.
- Surface treatment and quality inspection
- Parts receive finishing treatments such as powder coating, painting, polissage, or plating before final inspection.
Laser Welding vs TIG Welding for Sheet Metal Parts
Choosing the right welding method affects product strength, appearance, and production cost. VOK provides different welding solutions depending on your project requirements.
| Welding Method | Avantages | Limitations | Suitable Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soudage laser | Haute précision, fast processing, small heat-affected area | Requires accurate part positioning | Precision sheet metal components, electronic housings |
| Soudage TIG | Strong bonding, high-quality weld appearance | Higher heat may cause deformation | Stainless steel structures, industrial parts |
| Soudage par points | Faible distorsion thermique, clean appearance | Lower strength compared with full penetration welding | Thin sheet metal assemblies |
Through professional welding control, VOK helps you achieve stable quality for both prototype parts and production components.
