Adjust the Internal Corner Radii of Fillets for Faster Machining and Lower Costs
Can the fillets in your prototype model be achieved with standard tooling? If not, you have a couple solutions: lengthen the tooling to achieve the desired angle or adjust the angle in the design for standard tooling. The simple choice is just to change the tooling, right? Not necessarily. Going from standard
Low-Volume Production of Plastic Parts with Urethane Casting
When you need low-volume production quantities of plastic parts, you may think that your only options are having the parts machined or paying up for injection molding. But there’s a third option that can be much more cost-effective: urethane casting. Urethane casting offers the same high quality and consistency of CNC
Consider a Multi-Part Design with Mechanical Assembly For Your Prototype Model
Rome wasn’t built in a day, right? It all came together a bit at a time. Large, bulky parts are a lot like great cities. It’s often best to design them in multiple components instead of trying to machine just one complex part. Designing an entire prototype model as one part may
