When you need something yesterday, quick design services is the only answer!

Sometimes the best designs are the simplest. A client approached me needing a quick and affordable bracket to mount small cylindrical tanks to a wall — and we ended up with a neat little design trick.

The bracket is a single sheet metal part that adapts to the shape of the tank. As you tighten it down, a lip bends and wraps around the tank thanks to a 20mm section of continuous metal. No forming needed. No added complexity.

Quick design services made this part go from concept to laser-cut, bent sheet metal and powder-coated to finish — All within the same week.

What the client needed?

While on site doing maintenance, the client saw that one of the injection molded tank brackets had failed, leave a pressured storage tank supported by only the connectors at the bottom. A quick part designed to be laser cut had was the way to go
