What Should Designers Know About Reaming?
Reaming isn’t just about making holes rounder—it’s about achieving precision that drilling alone can’t deliver. With over 15 years machining parts for aerospace, medical, and audio sectors, proper reaming strategy eliminates assembly headaches while keeping costs reasonable. Designers should know that reaming delivers ±0.005–0.01 mm tolerance with Ra 0.8–1.6 μm finish, but requires careful pre-hole […]
What Design Changes Can Reduce Sheet Metal Fabrication Costs?
Designing for cost-effective sheet metal fabrication means understanding how every design decision impacts setup time, material waste, and manufacturing complexity. From our experience producing precision audio faceplates to industrial enclosures, small adjustments can dramatically reduce fabrication costs without compromising functionality. Material selection, thickness optimization, bend radius adjustments, simplified geometries, and relaxed tolerances are the most […]
