Sheet metal prototype production is often carried out by V and F Sheet Metal in support of our customers when developing new products or special variants. That prototyping can take many different manufacturing forms. We may be asked to just laser cut out a flat blank which our customer may then drill off to investigate the best position for connectors in an electronics housing. It may be bending up a couple of parts but not welding or painting them so our customer can test the fit of parts before committing to their production order. We may also cut and bend several thicknesses of the same bracket so our customers can work out which one is stronger enough for their needs with going over the top on component weight.
