When your parts rely on repeated holes, louvers, embosses, or formed features, punching delivers speed and consistency that thermal cutting cannot match. With meviy, you move straight from CAD upload to production-ready sheet metal punching, optimised for high-volume and feature-rich designs without manual back-and-forth.
Built on MISUMI manufacturing standards, meviy ensures predictable tolerances, controlled burr removal, and reliable manufacturability across every batch.
Punching is ideal for dense hole patterns, slots, louvers, and embosses. meviy automatically recognises these features in your CAD model and applies the most efficient punching strategy.
Once tooling is set, punching delivers rapid, repeatable strokes. This makes it highly efficient for medium to large batch sizes where cycle time directly affects lead time and cost.
Standardised tools and controlled processes help maintain stable dimensions across batches, particularly for hole-to-hole spacing and adjacent-face features.
For repetitive geometries, punching reduces processing time compared to laser cutting, lowering the cost per part as quantities increase.
Louvers, countersinks, and embosses are created directly during punching, removing the need for secondary forming steps and simplifying procurement.
meviy analyses your design before production, flags unsupported features, and ensures your punched parts meet defined manufacturing constraints.
Punching works best with aluminium, mild steel, and stainless steel, particularly in thin to medium thickness ranges where mechanical cutting is most efficient.
Tolerances depend on material thickness and feature location. meviy applies standard sheet metal tolerances and removes burrs exceeding zero-point-one millimetres as part of the standard process.
Punching handles complex parts very well when complexity comes from repeated features rather than intricate contours. Vent patterns, mounting holes, and formed details are typical examples.
Choose punching for higher volumes, repeated features, and formed details. Laser cutting is better suited to one-off parts or designs with highly complex outer profiles.
Yes. Some parts use punching for formed features and laser cutting for complex outlines. meviy automatically selects the most suitable process based on your design.
