Perforated solutions
From perforation to complete finishing, a part ready to go straight into your production.
TPS manufactures bespoke perforated metal parts, from perforation through to finishing, to meet the requirements of your application.
Our approach is based on a simple principle: you are not necessarily looking for a perforation supplier, but for a part that meets your requirements and is ready to use.
Perforation, cutting, notching, forming, bending, deep drawing, welding, assembly or finishing operations: we can integrate every step needed to produce your part, depending on its geometry and level of finish.
We work with a wide range of metals, thicknesses, sizes, geometries and precision levels, including parts that fall outside the usual market standards.
Benefits
Entrusting TPS with a complete perforated part brings several manufacturing operations together around a single industrial need.
It offers several benefits:
Fewer operations to carry out on your premises.
The operations needed to obtain the final part can be combined in a single manufacturing flow.
Perforation is carried out with the subsequent cutting, bending, forming or deep-drawing operations in mind.
One contact for several manufacturing steps.
Dimensions, perforation, shape, finish and packaging are defined to suit the application.
Production in the quantities actually needed, without depending on a catalogue product.
Operations can be planned together to limit rework and unnecessary handling.
Tracking of the material and each manufacturing step in line with your specifications.
A perforated metal part is particularly relevant when perforation is just one of several steps needed to obtain the final part.
Technical data
Every configuration is technically validated beforehand, because producing a perforated part depends on the interaction between material, thickness, perforation, geometry, processing operations and the dimensional requirements of the final part.

Expertise
A perforated part changes throughout its manufacturing process.
Perforation can affect how the material behaves during cutting, bending, forming or deep drawing. Conversely, the final geometry can impose particular constraints on hole position, edges, solid areas or open area.
TPS’s expertise lies in thinking about the process as a whole, rather than each operation in isolation.
The aim is to guarantee that the final part complies, while finding the best balance between industrial feasibility, quality, repeatability and cost.
The advantage is that you can give TPS a set of specifications and an expected result, rather than a series of operations to manage separately.
FAQ
Yes.
TPS can study the production of the part from raw material to finishing, integrating every operation needed to obtain the finished product.
A drawing, a CAD file, a specification or a sample can all serve as the basis for our study.
Yes.
TPS also carries out contract manufacturing on material you supply.
We check that the material is compatible with the planned operations and agree the manufacturing conditions with you.
Yes.
TPS can handle a single step of the process when that is what the customer needs.
We can also take on several successive operations, right through to complete finishing of the part.
Yes, depending on the geometry and process.
The order of operations can have a major impact on the final quality of the part. TPS works out with you the most suitable manufacturing sequence based on the material, the perforation and the required geometry.
Yes.
Perforation can be regular, with a defined pattern and pitch, but it can also take a specific shape or a layout suited to the required function.
Random perforation can also be studied when the application allows it.
Yes.
TPS manufactures to order and can study specific requirements in small, medium or large quantities.
The aim is to define an industrialisation approach suited to the quantity and the budget constraints of the project.
Yes.
The level of finishing is defined according to your needs: from a simple perforated and cut part, to a formed or deep-drawn part, up to a part combining several sheet metal, assembly and finishing operations.
Because it limits the number of supplier interfaces and gives you a single contact for managing production.
TPS can consider the whole process to find a solution that makes sense both technically and economically.
