By the end of the initial design stage, designers have generally gone through a lengthy process of elimination to pinpoint the exact design they want to move forward with. However, at this point in the engineering design process, the initial design is still far from a functioning design. Therefore, the detailed design and optimization stage …
Metal machining and specifically milling are widespread in modern prototyping techniques. Prototype manufacturers tend to maximize their equipment capabilities in regards to technology. One of the methods that have become popular in recent years is helical milling. Helical milling is an alternative hole-making process. This process involves an endmill that follows a helical trajectory to …
With the increasingly fierce competition in the social market and the growth of the industrial design industry, prototypes companies in China are paying attention to the production of product models while paying attention to industrial design. The development quality and actual effect of the product need to be verified with a hand-plate model. In this …

CNC machining is one of the most common manufacturing techniques for DFM analysis. There are various opportunities to achieve design for manufacturing targets. The main ones are as follows: Sharp Internal Corners: Designers make this common mistake while designing internal slot/pocket features. The internal corners need to be rounded to accommodate the geometry of cutting …
Medical tools refer to the tools used in medical facilities. These tools vary widely across many aspects of health care. These could be implants, wearables, or even surgery tools. Whatever the tool may be it is vital to the health space. Tools in health care are precise. Any minor flaw can cause a big issue …
There are three main stages for tooling manufacture: prototype tooling, bridge tooling, and production tooling. Prototype ToolingThe first step in the tooling manufacturing process is prototype tooling. This entails making molds and tools to create prototypes or small batches of products. These are generally single-use tools that are crucial for testing and confirming the design …
The design of injection molded parts generally involves designing the number and arrangement of mold cavities. The design of mold cavities cannot simply apply the dimensional tolerances of mechanical parts. The dimensional accuracy of plastic parts is influenced by many factors such as plastic structure, plastic materials, and the shrinkage rate of plastic parts during …
