Applications of Fabricated Assemblies
Our online sheet metal assembly service allows you to create functional, end-use products delivered in just days. With each project, you receive design for manufacturability (DFM) feedback and expert-level support, ensuring your design is optimized for production. A wide range of finishing options is available to meet your aesthetic needs.
Fabricated assemblies are commonly used for:
Accepted File Format and Configuration
| File Format | Details |
|---|---|
| Preferred Format for Assemblies | Upper-level assembly STEP files |
| SOLIDWORKS Users | Solid assembly file (.sldasm) with separate component files (.sldpart) |
| Weldment Projects | Provide a 2D drawing along with your CAD submission |
| Non-assembly Projects | Solid (or top-level) assembly file is not required if no assembly is needed |

If flexibility in joining is needed, consider riveting, a technique where components are joined using rivets.
Lead Time: Welding adds 1 business day to your project.
At KingStar Mold, we follow stringent quality control processes, ensuring that each fabricated assembly meets your specifications. Our team conducts regular inspections, including material checks, weld quality assessments, and dimensional verifications, to guarantee the final product’s accuracy and durability.
The lead time can vary based on the complexity and quantity of the assembly. Typically, it ranges from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the specific requirements and post-processing needs.
When selecting materials, consider the application’s environmental conditions, strength, and corrosion resistance. For example, stainless steel is ideal for corrosion-resistant applications, while aluminum is lighter and suitable for structures requiring reduced weight.
The most common materials for sheet metal assemblies include aluminum, low carbon steel, stainless steel (304/304L and 316/316L), and galvanized steel. These materials offer excellent formability, weldability, and corrosion resistance, suitable for various industries.
