During assembly, operators often complained that some parts are difficult to be picked up, either too small of too heavy. Consequently, assembly efficiency was lowered down. How can designers figure out a better idea so that operators can pick up the parts easily? Here are some advice as below.
Product design is the core of the entire industry chain, producing the maximum added value. While the product manufacturing is at the bottom of the industry chain, it generates the minimal added value.

The smallest design decisions can have a significant impact on the cost of your CNC machined parts. Do you know how to reduce the cost by a few adjustments to your part design? Please have a look at the 5 design tips which contain processing hole, manufacturing surface and parts depth.
In this Insight video we look at two concepts that are closely intertwined – undercuts and bump offs.

Before the pandemic, research suggested that adoption of AI (artificial intelligence) and ML (machine learning) in business was increasing at a rate of about 25% per year.
Try to use the standard parameters in your part design, and the same parameters should be as consistent as possible. Wonder why?
Metal inert gas (MIG) and tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding have their advantages and disadvantages, but how do you pick the process that's right for your next manufacturing or repair project?
With the rapid development of the automobile industry and its production capacity, traditional sheet metal processes can no longer meet the sector’s growing needs. Therefore, it is necessary to consider new and innovative technologies to keep up with the industry’s ever-evolving needs.

Ejector pins are utterly vital to the process of creating injection moulded parts. If all goes well they barely leave a mark, but sometimes this is not the case. In this video we talk about how design and position can minimise this, considering shape and specific qualities of the part.

A high-tech company in the field of infrared detection technology research, appointed us for the production of 200 sets of optical probe components. Due to their complex structures and undercut details, injection molding or CNC machining were not feasible.
Are you aware of a component does not create added value, while is significant and indispensable for products? That is fasteners. For a product, a fastener only fixes the parts, and has barely no effect on the utilization.
Have you considered optimizing the part design to increase part quality, while cut down the manufacturing cost and time? There are design tips about ribs and undercut you could refer to.
