Hi, Yvonne here from Dongguan LW, Do you know how to make your project save time and money? here are 3 tips you can use on your next project!
1. Choose the appropriate material
Material cost is one of the most significant drivers of part costs. Be sure to choose your material carefully and use stock sizes.
2. Limit the use of tight tolerances
Typically, only a few surfaces of a part are critical to its function. The more features with tolerance callouts in the design (e.g., radii, hole diameters, and distances), the more expensive a part becomes to manufacture. In order to eliminate unnecessary costs, the key is to only assign tolerances to mission-critical features and surfaces.
3. Maintain uniform bend orientation
Bends in the same plane should be designed in the same direction to avoid part reorientation, which will save both money and time. Keeping a consistent bend radius will also make parts more cost-effective.
I wish this video can help you, LW machining your ideas into reality!
