Sheet Metal Cover vs Alternatives: Which Sheet Metal Prototyping Services Win?

Sheet Metal Cover vs Alternatives: Which Sheet Metal Prototyping Services Win?

I’ll start straight. You know how many times I’ve been asked by some procurement folks: “Hey, is a sheet metal cover the best choice, or should we just go CNC or plastic injection?” Too many times. And sometimes I just want to say, “Depends, mate—depends on your budget, timeline, and whether you’re going to kick […]

Surface roughness comparison: Mirror stainless steel (Ra ≤ 0.05 µm) vs BA finish (Ra 0.2–0.4 µm) vs Hairline finish (Ra 0.3–0.6 µm).

Mirrored Stainless Steel vs Traditional: Which Decorative Steel Panels Impress?

I’ll start plain. Some folks say “steel is steel, it’s all the same once it’s polished.” That’s nonsense. After over ten years working in Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory, I’ve bent, welded, polished, cursed at, and re-done more stainless panels than I care to count. And let me tell you—mirrored stainless steel is not just […]
