In line with these situations, the next step is to proceed to present alternatives.
Alternatives include splitting the part in several sections, machine and then glue to a unit. Another option is to employ 5-axis machining procedure.
Both alternatives are then provided to the client with an outline to compare for references. A comparison table for both alternatives is detailed below:
After communicating these alternatives with the client, we take their considerations into making an intake manifold runner for the design prototype. The Client then concludes on the sectioning for machine proposal due to the considering of flexible lead-time and low cost of operation. Having reached a conclusion, the next step is to begin the next phase for design proposal.
Step Three: Machining the individual units
This is well the real work begins. To begin the machining, we proceed by following the sectioning design proposal to machine the individual parts as projected by the 3-axis machine.
Another benefit of electing to section the parts lies in the fact that we can reduce the machining difficulty by making the parts easier for machining.
Step Four: Gluing the joints
After machining the individual units into a single piece, we ensure rigidity and a solid design by using industry-standard glue for jointing. This part is made easy and will be fixed more accurately since we added some dovetails feature for locating during the sectioning phase.
Step Five: Hand-finishing and Inspection
The final part of the project is the hand-finish and inspection part.
We must await the solidification of the glue before evaluating. Once we are ready, we add some
Hand-finishing to beautify the product. The last step is inspection.
During inspection, we check for
missed features if any and tally the dimensions to ensure it meets the client’s design specifications.
Finally, we evaluated the strength of the unit as that represents a primary concern for most clients and
completed several other units without any problems.
