DESIGN & ENGINEERING
At EVS Metal, we take pride in offering design for manufacturability and engineering assistance for our valued clients’ metal fabrication needs. Once provided with specific part requirements, we are able to help develop an assembly concept, then generate a full set of blueprints and assembly drawings. All designs are created based on a set of pre-specified sheet metal design considerations and including tolerances that ensure products are fabricated with precision to exact specifications.
Our knowledgeable and courteous engineering staff, who have helped develop hundreds of enclosure designs that address even the most complicated specifications, is available to assist with every aspect of the design process. For existing design work, our engineers leverage their experience in design for manufacturing to help clients identify changes that can reduce cost as well as alleviate issues caused by tolerance stack-up in assemblies.
All CNC machinery on the shop floor is connected directly to our network, allowing for safe, controlled storage and immediate access to all CNC programs. In addition, we use the Mastercam© CAM system to generate programs for our machining centers. At EVS Metal, everything we do is aimed at 100% client satisfaction.
Design for Manufacturing in Metal Fabrication
The EVS Metal Design Center offers design for manufacturing (DFM) assistance when our customers come to us with DFM-specific metal fabrication challenges in product categories including:
- Chassis
- Card cages
- Machined Components
- Weldments of all sizes
- Subassemblies
- Outdoor enclosures
- Thermal management
- Shock and vibration
- UL certified type 1 508A enclosures
- NEMA-rated electrical enclosures
EVS uses the unrivaled SolidWorks© CAD software to perfectly model and unfold newly-designed parts for future fabrication. Solid modeling allows EVS to transfer designs to metal quickly and accurately, as well as identify potential manufacturing problems at the design stage. This means any errors are corrected before parts are fabricated, saving time and money. EVS also maintains seats of Pro-Engineer and can import most CAD models in formats such as IGES or STEP.
EVS utilizes the Amada’s AP100US and Dr.Abe_Blank CAM systems to program our lasers and turret presses swiftly and precisely. Amada’s Dr.Abe_Bend and Dr.Abe_Astro are used for programming our manual and robotic press brakes.
