Even the tiniest component can have a massive role in machining. Washers are typically disc-shaped pieces that play essential roles in distributing load, preventing leakages, or even locking parts in place. But not all washers are created equal. They vary...
Micro milling is a processing method used to process fine parts. Unlike traditional milling, micro milling can provide more complex 2D, 2.5D features, and even process some 3D curved surface features....
Types of springs Springs are mechanical components that can store mechanical energy for a given time through elastic deformation. This mechanical energy is released when the external force is removed. Springs are not a new mechanical component and have been in use in...
Unlike conventional milling, diamond milling uses single-crystal diamonds as a cutting tool, and with unique processing parameters. Dimond machining is able to achieve ultraprecise surfaces, that is, surfaces with relative figure errors <10−5 and surface roughness...
Numerous prototyping applications leverage clear plastic components to fulfill optical requirements, allow internal viewing of products, or enhance visual appeal. Acting as the cornerstone for sectors valuing precision, clarity, and aesthetics, these prototypes have...
