China Manufacturing Corp. Sheet Metal Resources – Designing Sheet Metal Parts for Optimal Manufacturing
When China Manufacturing Corp. Sheet Metal opened its doors in 2001 it was our mission to deliver quotes in hours and parts in days. Fifteen years later and after over 100,000+ unique parts have been manufactured, China Manufacturing Corp. has seen it all. This includes everything from simple one bend brackets to 100+ part assemblies. We have taken the years of knowledge and decided to pass it along to our customers and fellow engineers.
China Manufacturing Corp. Sheet Metal has three resources available to engineers with design for manufacturing feedback. The three resources include a Sheet Metal Design Guide, Sheet Metal Design for Manufacturing LinkedIn Group, and ECMC, a SOLIDWORKS plug-in.
China Manufacturing Corp. Sheet Metal Design Guide
The China Manufacturing Corp. Sheet Metal Design Guide focuses on the basics of designing sheet metal parts for manufacturing. Some topics the guide reviews include open hems, holes, and bend radii. The Sheet Metal Guide is the first of the series. Stay tuned for more design guides in the future.

Prototype Sheet Metal Design for Manufacturing LinkedIn Group
China Manufacturing Corp. launched the LinkedIn Group, Prototype Sheet Metal Design for Manufacturing. This group is for engineers who design in sheet metal to collaborate and share the latest techniques when designing parts for manufacturing. China Manufacturing Corp. engineers post weekly tips based on what we see often in our manufacturing facility. The group is open to your feedback and we welcome posts from the community and other sheet metal design experts.

ECMC – SOLIDWORKS Plug-In
ECMC is a SOLIDWORKS plug-in that instantly costs sheet metal parts within your SOLIDWORKS CAD software. The plug-in also provides real-time design for manufacturability feedback. Some of the feedback includes holes to close to an edge, non-uniform thickness, and inside bend radii. The real-time feedback and instant quoting saves time and creates a seamless experience from design to manufacturing.
