How Engineering Firms Are Scaling Fast with Outsourced Sheet Metal Services

In the fast-paced world of manufacturing and engineering, cost-effective agility is the lifeblood of growth. To cope with growing demands and tight timeline on projects, companies worldwide are turning to Outsourced Sheet Metal Services without the added hassle of expanding services in-house to improve the quality of their products. Leading this change is a rapidly scaling engineering service provider, Milestone PLM Solutions, which is harnessing the capability of outsourcing in the sheet metal design and fabrication domain. 

This blog outlines how Milestone PLM Solutions out-sources their sheet-metal services to boost operations, attain quality, and keep a pace in the global competition.

Carefully designing and fabricating sheet metal is a specialized industry that needs precision, modernized tools, and specialized knowledge. In-house teams and infrastructure for every project can be costly and time-consuming. Outsourced sheet metal services will come into play here. 

There are few major benefits of outsourcing: 

• Cost Efficiency — Reduce your infrastructure, labor, and overhead costs. 

• Expertise Access: Work with seasoned professionals who are experts in sheet metal design. 

• Quicker Turnaround: Make use of dedicated teams that can quickly scale based on the project requirements. 

• Flexibility: Scale services up or down Agility: Use Services when needed with no long-term commitment. 

Milestone PLM Solutions identified these advantages early and adapted and embedded outsourcing within their engineering service model. 

At Milestone PLM Solutions, the focus is always on delivering value-driven engineering services that exceed client expectations. Here’s how the company is successfully scaling with outsourced sheet metal services: 

Milestone PLM has built a robust network of sheet metal design experts who understand industry-specific requirements, whether for HVAC systems, industrial machinery, consumer products, or automotive components. These teams work collaboratively with clients and internal engineers to ensure accurate, functional, and manufacturable designs. 

A key strength of Milestone PLM Solutions lies in its deep expertise in platforms like SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Creo, Siemens NX, and other CAD/PLM tools. The outsourced sheet metal teams are seamlessly integrated into these workflows, ensuring efficient collaboration and reduced rework. The ability to directly work within clients’ preferred software ecosystems gives Milestone an edge in speed and precision. 

Milestone offers comprehensive sheet metal solutions—from concept development and 2D drawings to 3D modeling, flat patterns, and detailed fabrication drawings. By outsourcing to dedicated sheet metal teams, clients benefit from a holistic approach that covers all technical and functional aspects of the product lifecycle. 

Some of the benefits companies are achieving by partnering with Milestone PLM for outsourced sheet metal services include: 

• Project Timeframes: Quicker setup as a result of improved workflows and 24 hours a day, seven days a week staff availability. 
• Cost Savings: Cost-effective offshore outsourcing without any quality loss. 
• Design Precision: Experienced sheet metal professionals provide high levels of precision to reduce errors and increase manufacturability. 
• Prototype: Rapid prototyping and experimentation with new ideas for design. 

One of their clients, a U.S.-based HVAC manufacturer, reduced sheet metal design time by 40% after teaming up with Milestone’s sheet metal team. For example, a client in the industrial machinery sector reported a 30% decrease in fabrication errors thanks to enhanced detailing and material optimization undertaken by the outsourced team. 

Scaling in the engineering world isn’t just about doing more—it’s about doing more strategically. With outsourced sheet metal services, Milestone PLM Solutions helps businesses focus on their core operations while we handle the complexities of design and detailing.
