Fabrication starts with what the assembly must do.
SharpSigma coordinates cut, formed, welded and fabricated components and assemblies around the drawing, material, interfaces, finish, cosmetic expectations and acceptance requirements.
Clarify the build requirement.
- Material grade and thickness
- Flat-pattern / formed geometry and bend definition
- PEM or installed hardware requirements
- Weld symbols, joints and assembly interfaces
- Coating, finish and cosmetic zones
- Quantity, timing and delivery requirement
Bends and interfaces drive manufacturability.
Material thickness, bend definition, hardware, weld access and assembly interfaces shape the production route before a part ever reaches inspection.
Review a Fabricated Part →Control the features that drive fit and function.
- Datums and assembly-critical dimensions
- Weld distortion and post-weld dimensional expectations
- Hardware location and retention requirements
- Finish/coating requirements and masked areas where applicable
- Inspection/documentation defined before release
Weld and finish acceptance must be explicit.
Dimensional expectations, distortion, installed hardware, finish zones and cosmetic requirements are clarified before release.
Discuss Acceptance Needs →Match the route to the fabrication.
- Laser / cut-and-form style requirements as applicable
- Welded components and assemblies
- Brackets, enclosures, frames and production hardware
- Prototype, batch, bridge and repeat orders
- Supplier clarification and nonconformance managed through SharpSigma
Confirm the route before commitment.
Process route, source capability, material, tolerances, inspection and documentation are confirmed against the actual requirement before SharpSigma commits to the order.
Discuss the Requirement →Start with the drawing, material and quantity.
Share material/thickness, formed geometry, weld or hardware requirements, finish expectations, quantity, timing and delivery context. Proprietary drawings can follow through the technical-file transfer path.
