Sheet metal products have the characteristics of light weight, high strength, conductivity, low cost, and good mass production performance, and are widely used. Sheet metal is a kind of comprehensive cold working process for metal sheet. It is widely used in the research and development of mechanical equipment and involves many products, including self-service terminals, cabinets, chassis, computer rooms, power distribution cabinets, CNC machine tools, etc.

For sheet metal product design, whether designers can skillfully use sheet metal technology in design is directly related to the difficulty and even success or failure of product production. Sheet metal process is a complex process, involving many aspects, including sheet metal construction method, sheet metal punching and cut design, groove and punching, molding printing, die and punching, bending, etc. Whether the sheet metal material can be scientifically and reasonably applied to the production and manufacture of products, the proficiency of sheet metal technology plays a great role. The higher the proficiency of sheet metal process, the easier it is to realize the production and manufacture of products. Take the automatic terminal design in sheet metal product design as an example:

Sheet metal process is a surface treatment process needed by self-service terminals. Sheet metal is also a commonly used material for self-service terminals. Due to its complicated process treatment, it is difficult for self-service terminal design to realize rich surface changes in appearance. If the surface treatment is improper, the equipment will appear rough and bulky, have no sense of quality, and cannot meet the personalized consumption needs of users. In response to this, the professional industrial design department seeks intuitive and concise design on the appearance of self-service terminal design, and on the basis of the existing technology, it does more and more delicate process treatment on its surface, and focuses on details. Specialize, make the texture of the equipment comfortable, and give people an intuitive, concise and atmospheric beauty. The treatment of the appearance surface of the self-service terminal design can also indirectly reflect the professionalism of the designer and the industrial design company, the delicate surface process treatment, the atmospheric and beautiful shape, and the professionalism of the equipment can be highlighted.

Of course, the difficulty of surface processing is only one of the problems encountered in the design process of self-service terminals. To do a good job in the appearance design of self-help terminals, designers also need to comprehensively consider the modeling design, color expression, material selection, etc., and on the basis of realizing the structure and function of the equipment, integrate their own creative and flexible design, so that the equipment is simple and beautiful and comfortable to use.
In the design of sheet metal products, designers need to have an in-depth understanding of the material of the product and the applicable processing technology. In the design process, they must consider the later production and manufacturing of the product, in the modeling design, color expression, Comprehensive consideration of material selection, man-machine interface, etc., and on the basis of realizing the structure and function of the equipment, integrate their own creative and flexible design, make the product simple and beautiful, easy and comfortable.
