I need a reliable metal-work partner to fabricate a small batch of stainless-steel brackets/feet designed to secure an 8 mm sheet of toughened glass. See attached drawings and dimensions, what I need now is the manufacturing expertise to turn them into finished parts. These drawings are for initials costings, there will be further designs in the pipeline so I want to find a partner who will engage in the creative process. I am looking at various designs to support this sheet of glass. Scope • Quantity: 11–100 units in the first run, with repeat orders possible if the quality is right. • Material: 304 or 316 stainless, suitable for PVD. • Finish: Satin Brass, Matt Black, Brushed Stainless, and Bronze. Each bracket must arrive fully finished and ready for installation, with colour consistency across the batch. • QC: All edges deburred, no visible weld marks, holding strength sufficient for interior architectural use. I will check finish adhesion, colour match, and dimensional accuracy against the drawings. Please tell me about your previous PVD work, available equipment (CNC, laser cutting, polishing, PVD line), and approximate lead time once you receive the files. I’m happy to send the drawings under NDA so you can provide an accurate quote and production timeline. Summary: Feet 3 mm or 4 mm folded 304 stainless laser cut brushed finish replaceable silicone insert hidden weight inside each foot (dependent on manufacture) non-slip silicone pads underneath Finishes (PVD) Satin brass Matt black Brushed stainless Bronze

Hi there, I have carefully reviewed your requirements for the 8 mm 8 mm toughened glass brackets. I am a Senior Mechanical & CAD/CAM Engineer. While I am an independent remote engineering consultant and not a physical fabrication shop, I can be the technical and creative engineering partner you need to bridge the gap between your initial drawings and the factory floor. Sending preliminary drawings directly to a fabricator often leads to high prototyping costs, dimensional errors, and poor finish adhesion. I can take your initial concepts and engineer a complete, production-ready Design for Manufacturing (DFM) package. Here is how I can engineer this product for flawless manufacturing: Sheet Metal & Laser Cut Optimization: For 3 mm 3 mm or 4 mm 4 mm 304/316 Stainless Steel, I will calculate exact bend deductions and K-factors. This ensures the flat-pattern DXF files result in folded brackets with perfect tolerances, preventing any stress concentrations on the 8 mm 8 mm toughened glass. Hidden Weights & Stability Analysis: Using CAD mass property evaluation, I will calculate the exact Center of Gravity (CG) and determine the precise mass of the “hidden weights” required inside each foot to guarantee stability and prevent tipping. Silicone Insert Engineering: I will design the 3D geometry for the replaceable silicone inserts and non-slip pads, ensuring a secure interference fit with the stainless steel body. PVD & Surface Finish Blueprinting: PVD coating requires flawless surface preparation. I will create professional 2D technical drawings (with GD&T) specifying exactly where the factory must deburr, maintain a brushed finish, and avoid visible welds to ensure perfect adhesion and color consistency for the Satin Brass, Matt Black, and Bronze finishes. Deliverables for your Fabricator: STEP files for CNC/tooling of the silicone parts and hidden weights. Precise DXF flat patterns for laser cutting. Comprehensive PDF engineering drawings with strict QC and surface finish instructions. I am more than happy to sign your NDA. Please send over the initial drawings, and we can discuss the creative pipeline for your future designs. Best regards, Mechanical & CAD/CAM DFM Engineer
