A BETTER ROUTE STARTS WITH YOUR VOLUME

First batch or full production?
Plan for the order you need.

Keep the immediate requirement and the next order in view. We review geometry, material, tooling and inspection together.

01 / PROTOTYPES & SMALL BATCHES

Validate the part.
Then scale the order.

A route focused on the quantity you need now, with forming and setup reviewed around your design.

  • Fit, function and assembly checks
  • Material, thickness and bend review
  • Setup and finishing scope in the quote
Discuss your first batch
02 / STAMPING & REPEAT PRODUCTION

Plan the tooling.
Control the repeat.

For suitable repeat requirements, review the stamping route and tooling investment against your part and expected demand.

  • Tooling scope, ownership and approval
  • Sample acceptance before the batch
  • Order volume and repeat schedule
Review a production program

Practical order quantities, tooling needs and lead time are confirmed for the selected manufacturing route.

THE PARTS THAT HOLD IT TOGETHER

Support. Protect. Connect.

Tell us what your component must do. The functional features guide the forming and finishing plan.

01

Brackets & mounting parts

Mounting patterns, slots, formed offsets and clearances that align with the rest of the assembly.

Hole position · bend direction · load-bearing geometry
02

Covers, panels & enclosures

Protection and access, with the appearance and assembly interfaces defined from the beginning.

Cosmetic faces · openings · mating edges
03

Stamped hardware & repeat parts

Repeated profiles and formed features reviewed against tooling, material utilization and batch requirements.

Tooling scope · sample approval · repeat quantities

ILLUSTRATIVE PROCESS STUDY / YOUR DRAWING DEFINES THE REQUIREMENTS

Start with the formed-part requirement.

Share the formed model and dimensioned drawing, plus the flat pattern when available. Include sheet grade, thickness and cut-edge requirements.

Review your flat pattern

Critical features belong on the drawing. Identify datums, formed dimensions, assembly clearances and the acceptance criteria that matter.

MATERIAL + THICKNESS + FINISH

Choose the sheet.
Define the surface.

The exact grade and condition influence forming. Your finish and cosmetic requirements complete the specification.

MATERIAL FAMILYWHAT TO SPECIFYFINISH DISCUSSION

Aluminium

Grade, temper, thickness and bend requirements.

Anodizing or other agreed finish; identify cosmetic faces.

Stainless steel

Grade, condition, thickness and grain direction.

Surface texture, passivation requirements and protection.

Steel & specified sheet

Exact grade, sheet condition and coating status.

Corrosion protection, coating system and masking requirements.

Confirm finish compatibility, color references and final dimensions—including coating—during quotation.

FROM RELEASED DRAWING TO ACCEPTED PART

Agree the detail.
Deliver to the requirement.

01

Drawing & route review

Confirm revision, grade, thickness, geometry, quantity and any tooling before the manufacturing route is agreed.

02

Sample & process approval

Align on the sample or first-article checks, forming sequence and any secondary operations required for your order.

03

Final acceptance

Check critical formed dimensions, assembly features, edges and appearance against the agreed inspection scope.

MEET THE MANUFACTURER

BEFORE YOU ORDER

Useful answers.
Clear next steps.

What is the difference between sheet metal fabrication and stamping?+

Sheet metal fabrication describes routes for making flat and formed parts. Stamping uses tooling to cut or form sheet in a press. Geometry, order quantity, repeat demand and tooling investment help determine a suitable route.

Can I order prototypes or a small batch?+

Yes—discuss your part and requested quantity with WEKO. We review a suitable route and setup for the batch. Dedicated stamping tooling has separate cost and practical quantity considerations; the quotation states the agreed scope.

What files should I send?+

Send a dimensioned drawing and revision, a formed 3D model if available, and a DXF or other flat-pattern file when applicable. Include grade, sheet thickness, quantity, finish and important assembly interfaces. We review how the flat pattern relates to the formed part.

Which thicknesses and tolerances can you manufacture?+

They depend on material, geometry, forming sequence, equipment and the feature being measured. Mark the required limits and datums on your drawing. We confirm feasibility and acceptance criteria in the quotation rather than apply a single tolerance to every part.

Can I combine formed parts with machined features?+

Share the whole component and its interfaces. We can review a route that combines forming with suitable secondary machining. Identify features that need to be controlled after forming or finishing.

How do I specify appearance and finishing?+

Identify cosmetic faces, permitted marks, grain direction, edge condition, coating type and color reference where required. Include masking areas and functional surfaces. Finish compatibility and acceptance are agreed for your material and part.

Who owns the stamping tooling?+

Request the ownership, payment, maintenance, storage, service life assumptions and transfer conditions in the quotation. These commercial terms should be agreed before tooling is released.

Can we sign an NDA first?+

Yes. Request an NDA before sharing confidential drawings. Include only the project details needed for the initial discussion, then share the technical package through the agreed channel.
