The FlipStep is constructed of primarily of powderocated carbon steel and aseembled with stainless steel hardware. The purpose of the step is to allow users to safely and easily get in and out of their truck bed.
I started working witht the guys at FlipStep when we only had a prototype. From there we started buidling a manufactuirng cell from nothing. This manufacturing proccess involves all of the standard shop tools and proccess you'd find in any steel shop including standard drilling and cutting equipment and standard pnuematic and hydraulic tools. Where we verge from typical shops is with our custom machinery. We've made fixtures and jigs that aid in specific manufactuing proccess. We have rotary welders, drilling fixutres, welding and grinding fixture, and more recently a robotic drill press. Read a blog about the drillpress here: FlipStep Automation
