336 | Design for Manufacture - Laser, Waterjet & Plasma Cut Sheet Metal Parts

Sheet metal parts are commonplace on racecars as they allow us to create relatively lightweight and stiff parts from cheap materials. If we design these parts in CAD software it's easy to get the flat pattern cut on a 2D CNC cutting machine like a laser, waterjet, or plasma cutter. As with every manufacturing method there's some considerations we need to keep it mind during the design process to make sure we end up with a quality product.
