Cost reduction is a crucial challenge for enhancing product competitiveness and improving customer satisfaction. Therefore, designers must have a wide range of cost-cutting ideas at their disposal.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In this article, we introduce innovative tips for sheet metal design useful to cut significantly the final product\u2019s cost. By implementing these design tips, you can achieve significant savings without compromising on quality. Understanding how to maximize cost-efficiency will benefit both your projects and your company’s bottom line.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Not only do material expenses rise, but the increase in volume and weight can also result in higher transportation expenses, among other reasons. Hence, designing with the minimum necessary size is crucial for effective cost reduction.<\/span>\n\nIn the initial design (left image), some unnecessary waste was observed in the sheet width. The improved design (right image) addressed this issue by optimizing the use of materials.<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

This might seem a small reduction, but it\u2019s only one of many strategies you can take to cut even more the final cost.<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Minimizing bending operations can lead to cost reduction. In sheet metal processing, each time a component is clamped in the press machine, one bending operation is performed. Therefore, an increased number of bending locations or operations can lead to more work and higher costs. Let’s compare the design before and after improvement.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In the initial design, there were two bending operations between the sensor mounting surface and the fixed surface. However, by making the design modification as shown below, we reduced the number of bends by one. In this new design, we changed the placement of the sheet metal from fixing it on the side of the platform to fixing it on the top surface.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

From the initial design cost of 26,8 euro (13,40 euro per part), we have now cut the price by more than 40%<\/strong> .<\/span><\/p>

To achieve cost reduction, it is sometimes necessary to reevaluate not only the target component but also the overall configuration of the equipment and production line. Perhaps the work presence check is already performed at a previous stage, and there might be no need to recheck the work afterward. In such cases, there may be instances where rechecking at that particular location is unnecessary.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

While eliminating the sensor was not possible in this case, reconsidering the entire operation flow or changing the flow of the production line may render the designed component or the device that changes the work orientation unnecessary.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

When designing a component, it’s easy to get too focused on that specific part, but having a broad perspective is essential for achieving cost reduction.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
