Reduce the cost of your metal parts

Less scrap. Lower part cost. Shorter lead times.

Independent metal manufacturing optimization for sheet metal and CNC parts: DFM, laser cutting and nesting, bending, material selection and process improvement. We sell no machines and no material, so our advice is objective.

Independent metal manufacturing optimization, from the shop floor

IRONsrv helps manufacturers cut the cost of metal parts. As an independent partner we sell no machines and no material, so our metal manufacturing optimization stays objective and works only in your interest.

We look at your design, technology, material and process, and show exactly where money leaks in sheet metal and CNC production. From DFM, laser cutting and nesting to bending, machining and material choice, you get concrete recommendations with an estimated effect, not generalities. The goal is simple: a metal part that is cheaper to make, faster to deliver and right the first time.

Sound familiar?

  • Parts cost too much and you cannot tell whether it is the machine, the material or the design.
  • Long lead time and downtime, production preparation drags on.
  • Parts come back with rework, something does not bend right or does not fit at assembly.
  • Too much material scrap, sheets poorly used, offcuts go to waste.
  • You are not sure the material choice and MOQ are optimized for cost.

Usually it is the design and the process, not the machine. That can be measured and improved.

What we help with

Design review before production (DFM)

Check feasibility and cost before you order. The biggest savings are decided here. Design for manufacturing.

Part cost reduction

Cost, MOQ and material price analysis, removing unnecessary cost from the part. Part cost reduction.

Laser cutting and nesting

Better sheet usage and less scrap through smarter nesting and technology choices. See laser cutting optimization.

CNC machining optimization

Process choice and optimization for fewer reworks and a more stable result. CNC machining optimization.

Material selection and MOQ

The right grade and order quantity, so you do not overpay for material. Material selection and MOQ.

Sheet Metal Bending

Cracking, rejects and rework in bending, caught before the first bend. Sheet metal bending.

Independent, so the advice is objective

We sell no machines and no material. Our only interest is your part costing less and shipping faster, so the recommendation is not driven by any product margin. We work with your designers and engineers and bring benchmarks and experience from other plants.

How we work

  1. Send your drawing (STEP / DXF / PDF) or describe the problem.
  2. We analyse design, technology, material and cost.
  3. You get a report with concrete recommendations and estimated effect.
  4. We support you while you implement the changes.

Results and references

References and case studies are available on request. Many projects run under NDA, so we share concrete numbers, such as reduced scrap or lower cost per part, directly with you.

FAQ

What files do you need?

A STEP, DXF or PDF of the part is enough to start. A short description of the problem helps too.

Is my data safe?

Yes. Your drawings are treated as confidential and we sign an NDA on request.

How fast do you reply?

Within one business day, with first observations on your part.

What does the analysis cover?

Design, technology, material and cost, with concrete recommendations and estimated effect.
