All Metals Fabricating

For many years at All Metals Fabricating, we’ve had conversations with customers who are considering reshoring. But recently, more companies have been taking a new look at the strategy as the economics of overseas manufacturing have changed.

We are proud to be an American manufacturer, and we welcome conversations with companies that are exploring a move back to domestic production. But we believe transparency is important in our work, and so we are always candid with customers: reshoring can offer advantages, but the decision depends on factors like your part design, your quantities, your timeline, and your budget.

Getting bend deductions right is critical to producing accurate sheet metal parts. Even small miscalculations can lead to incorrect flat patterns, causing production delays and added costs.

On our blog, we share how our bend deduction tables are built specifically for our equipment and processes, helping ensure your designs translate smoothly from CAD to finished part. By using values that match our shop, you can improve quoting accuracy and keep your projects moving forward without unnecessary adjustments.

If you are designing parts in SolidWorks or working through complex bends, this guide walks through how to apply these tables and even calculate bend deductions for angles beyond standard ranges.
