Custom metal parts are crafted through a meticulous process that begins with design and ends with precision machining. First, engineers use advanced software to model a prototype that meets the client’s requirements. Following this, various fabrication techniques, such as laser cutting, CNC machining, or metal stamping, transform raw metal into the final product.
To cut aluminum, the key is to use the right tools and techniques to ensure accuracy and prevent damage. Reduce burrs by using blades made of aluminum. Clamps will help to secure the metal and ensure its stability. Mark and measure your cut line. Cut slowly and steadily on the line.
The selection of copper grade is the first step in copper fabrication. The choice of copper grade depends on the physical and chemical properties desired for the project. Then, we used various methods such as stamping, machining, and welding to turn raw copper into finished goods.
Brass fabrication involves various techniques for cutting, shaping, and assembling brass into a finished product. The items can be practical or decorative, including automotive parts, musical instruments, decorative items, plumbing fixtures, etc. Brass fabrication is a precise process that requires precision techniques to meet design and functionality criteria.
Low-volume production is the production of a moderate number of units. It’s aimed at businesses that want to bridge the gap from prototype development to mass production. Low-volume production enables the creation of cost-effective products and allows for adjustments and optimizations prior to scaling up.
Copper is known for its excellent electrical conductivity, making it perfect for electrical wiring. Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, offers great machinability and is commonly used in plumbing fixtures. Bronze, an alloy of copper and tin, is renowned for its durability and resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for maritime applications.
Thread taps are precision tools that create internal threads in pre-drilled holes. This allows bolts and screws to be inserted into the hole, then tightened. Taps are essential for assembling mechanical parts requiring bolted or glued connections. It is essential to many products and infrastructure’s structural integrity and functionality.
A tapped hole is prepared to have a threaded inner surface. A simple drilled hole is transformed into a tapped one, ready to receive a screw or bolt. This technique is essential for creating joints that are both strong and detachable. It allows easy assembly and disassembly.
Thread galling occurs when the pressure and friction of tightening fasteners cause the metals to fuse. This microscopic welding effect occurs without applying any actual heat. The result is a fastener that is difficult to remove or adjust, often leading to damaged threads or the need to replace the entire assembly.
Press brake forming is a metalworking process. A press brake machine bends sheet metal by pressing it between a matching punch and die. This method allows for precisely shaping metal into various angles and forms. Its versatility and accuracy make press brake forming an essential technique in fabricating metal products with specific requirements.
A punch press is a mechanical press used to create an artificial material. It can range from being small enough to be operated manually and hold a simple die set to a huge CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine with multi-station turrets capable of holding larger, more complex die sets.
The progressive die stamping method uses a series of station dies within a single tool to bend, punch, cut, and progressively shape the metal strip. As the strip unrolls from a coil, each station performs a specific operation until the component reaches its final form.
Welding thin metal requires a steady hand and the right equipment. We use TIG welding for its precision and control. This method allows us to produce clean, strong welds on even the thinnest metals. We ensure high-quality joins every time by controlling the heat input and using the appropriate filler material.
Metal galling is when two metal surfaces, typically under load and in motion relative to one another, adhere to each other at points of contact. This unintended adhesion can tear the metal surface when the parts are separated or moved, which compromises the integrity and functionality of the components.
CNC engraving uses computer numerical control (CNC) technology to engrave, etch accurately, or letter designs on various material surfaces. The method involves a computer-controlled machine that directs the movement of a cutting tool or laser on the material, meticulously removing layers to create intricate patterns, text, or images.
Copper 3D printing overcomes the limitations of traditional manufacturing by using copper powder. We then fuse the powder using various methods, such as heat, adhesives, or other materials. This process eliminates the requirement to braze and solder components. This innovative process simplifies production and enables the efficient production of complex designs.
