4 Ways to Get the Most Out of Your Next Prototyping Project

Most new parts change several times as they evolve from a conceptual drawing to a physical object in the real world. By the time a new part is ready for prototyping, you’ve made drawings, calculations, and prepared extensive documentation (and if you’re working within the automotive industry, you’ve also spent countless hours on the Production…

A Pressing Matter: Balancing Part Cost and Quality in Micro Stamped Parts

As OEMs and aftermarket equipment companies tighten tolerances, manufacturers face the challenge of producing stamped parts that meet and exceed their customers’ requirements. Poor die design along with scrapped or reworked parts cost everyone involved time and money. It’s critical to get it right the first time and every time.

Real-World Precision Stamping: Dimensional Specs Are Not Enough

When you spend time thoughtfully developing a part with features as elegant as they are functional, it’s all too easy to focus on design to the exclusion of manufacturing realities.
