How To Apply DFM to My Fit and Tolerance Decisions?
Tolerance decisions balance function, cost, and manufacturability from day one. After machining precision components for aerospace and medical applications, we’ve seen how DFM thinking prevents costly redesigns and tolerance conflicts during production. Apply DFM to fit and tolerance decisions by first identifying critical-function features that need tight tolerances, then using standard tolerances (ISO 2768-m) for […]
When Is Type III Anodizing the Right Choice?
Choosing between Type II and Type III anodizing isn’t just about thicker coatings — it’s about understanding when that extra thickness justifies the higher cost and dimensional impact. With experience manufacturing parts across aerospace, medical, and industrial applications, the wrong anodizing choice can mean premature failure or unnecessary expense. Type III anodizing is the right […]
