Table of Contents Forming Basics Press brake forming The fundamental advantage of a press brake as a forming tool is its flexibility. By using standard vee-dies, cost savings can be realized through economical set-ups and run times on small lots and prototypes. In addition to these considerations, using the following guidelines will increase the manufacturability
Sheet metal fabrication, as the name suggests, is an item made from sheet metal according to demand. Commonly used sheet metal items in life include computer case cabinets, TV backplanes, car casings, air conditioner casings, terminal integrated casings, charging pile boxes, etc. What are the processing techniques for sheet metal processing? We summarize as follows:
Table of Contents Stainless Steel Sheet (SUS) Stainless steel plate, also known as stainless acid-resistant steel, is a type of steel that is resistant to weak corrosive media such as air, steam, and water, as well as chemically corrosive media such as acid, alkali, and salt. In practise, steel that is resistant to weak corrosive
Table of Contents What is Vacuum casting? Vacuum Casting (also known as Polyurethane casting) refers to the use of existing parts to make silicone molds in a vacuum state. Polyurethane, silica gel, nylon, ABS and other materials are used for casting in a vacuum state, so as to clone the same replica as the original
Sheet Metal Aluminum Crack or Broken Sheet Metal Aluminum Crack The aluminum sheet metal bends very easily when it is bent. There are several cuases why the aluminum sheet metal cracks or breaks when it is bent. The hardness of the aluminum material is too high, the aluminum sheet metal is too thick, and the

Classification of Sheet Metal Fabrication Techniques Sheet metal fabrication techniques can largely be put into two classifications – forming and cutting. Framing procedures are those in which the connected power makes the material plastically deform, yet not to fail. Such procedures can curve or stretch the sheet into the ideal shape. Cutting procedures are those in
Table of Contents In the prototyping of plastic components, urethane casting and injection moulding are widely used. However, there are some similarities between the processes. Our customers are frequently torn between injection moulding — a common process in which molten material is injected into a metal mould — and vacuum casting, which uses less expensive
Plastic Prototypes Why do you need to make a prototype? 1. Check the appearance design Prototype is an important means to verify the design. 2. Inspection structure design The analysis and review of the structure of the prototype assembly process, the mold manufacturing process and the production process all have a very intuitive effect. The
8 Polymer Materials to Manufacture Medical Devices Medical equipment can be subdivided into in vitro diagnostics, medical consumables, medical equipment, and pharmaceutical equipment. Due to its low cost, easy processing, light weight and toughness, plastics are widely used in medical devices. Free Project Review Not all polymers are suitable for the medical device industry, and
