At Acorn Metal, we specialise in providing purpose-designed fabrication solutions tailored to our customers’ precise requirements. One of our recent ventures was to design and manufacture a pair of bespoke metal cabinets from start to finish. During our turnkey process, we took care of everything from design and prototyping to assembly and surface finishing so that the final product was delivered to the client with the highest quality.
From Idea to Reality
Our client approached us with a request for durable, custom-built cabinets. We followed a detailed process:
- Design and Prototyping: We worked closely alongside the client to finalise design requirements. Prototypes were developed and refined to align with the intended functionality and aesthetics, like precise slot placements, hinged compartments, and lockable drawers.
- Material Choice: Sheet metal material was carefully chosen for durability, strength, and ease of fabrication. This was to ensure the cabinets could withstand long-term use in demanding environments.
- CNC Turret Punching: Using our cutting-edge machinery, we achieved precise perforations and clean, accurate cuts, laying the groundwork for successful assembly.
- Sheet Metal Bending: Each panel was bent using high-quality machinery to meet the exact dimensional tolerances. This precise shaping guaranteed a perfect fit during assembly and contributed to the overall strength and form of the cabinets.
- Assembly and Welding: Our fabricators joined each part together seamlessly, achieving structural integrity and a high-quality final product. The panels are cleanly joined, with no visible gaps or irregularities.
- Powder Coating: We completed the cabinets using a premium powder coat, providing corrosion resistance and a professional finish.
- Quality Control: We conducted inspections at every stage to ensure everything was to the highest standards. With neat alignment of components, flush fittings, and clear protective film for transit.
