DEARBORN, MI—Ford is introducing a new technology that promises to decrease costs and delivery time for manufacturing sheet metal parts. Under the process, a piece of sheet metal is clamped around its edges and formed into a 3D shape by two stylus-type tools working together on opposite sides of the sheet.
Based in Abbotsford, BC, Overlanders Manufacturing is a large supplier of precision sheet metal and tubular products, including parts for the electronics industry. Many of these parts must be plated prior to fastener insertion.
