Smiles from Detroit. I would look to press those parts, since most contact surfaces are potentially convex and variant-depth parts appear superfluous to requirements. With a shared punch and die you could pull the nest off a laser, press them all in parallel, and break them after the parallel press-forming. Should be cheaper than injection because the cycles can be faster, the material can be stronger, there's only one die, and the unload will be easier?
- Animats 1y agoYes. Here are very similar parts produced with a punch press.[1] In Silicon Valley. Or in China.[2] This sort of thing is probably about $40,000 for the first part, $0.05 for each additional part. Designing and making the custom dies is expensive. Banging out the parts is cheap. Mass production works. [1] https://www.petersenprecision.com/fine-blanking https://www.petersenprecision.com/fine-blanking [2] https://yonglihaomachinery.com/ https://yonglihaomachinery.com/
