Your supplier just sent a quote that’s double what you paid last time — for the exact same part. Same drawing, same specs, same material.
Your supplier just emailed saying they need to “discuss some design modifications for manufacturability” – three weeks into production, after they quoted and accepted your
Your gear drawing just came back marked “not manufacturable” – again. The third supplier this month rejected specifications that meet standard tolerances, use common materials,
Your aluminum part drawing came back with “not manufacturable” stamped across it, or worse – a quote that’s triple what you expected. Most engineers face
Your SolidWorks estimate said $200. Three suppliers just quoted $2,000, $2,500, and $3,200 for the exact same aluminum bracket. Your project deadline is six weeks
Specifying gear hardness often leads to the assumption that harder is always better — but this can result in brittle failures, unnecessary costs, and manufacturing
Designing gears that won’t fail under load requires balancing material selection, geometry optimization, and manufacturing precision. With over 15 years machining custom gears for robotics,
Choosing the right heat treatment for precision gears means balancing strength, dimensional stability, and cost. After machining heat-treated gears for aerospace and medical applications, we’ve
Selecting the right heat treatment for gears isn’t just about hardness numbers — it’s about balancing performance, cost, and manufacturability. After machining thousands of precision
Choosing carburizing for gear applications often creates a dilemma: you need hard surfaces for wear resistance, but worry about creating brittle cores that crack under
