When you want to produce metal parts, your goal is to think through as many aspects of your final part as possible. Here are 10 factors to consider when producing metal parts at high volume:
  1. Strength: including tests the parts will have to physically pass
  2. Environment temperature: heat treating or curing ovens
  3. Material: thickness, finish, plating, color, and hardness
  4. Geometry: dimensions, tolerances, measurement methods, critical dimensions, stamping manufacturing burrs, and required and suggested testing
  5. Assembly: threads, welding, brazing, swaging, and riveting
  6. Testing: flatness, radial runout, torque, pushout force, and prototyping
  7. Markings: font style, size, and depth, logos, and marking method
  8. Special features: stiffening ribs, serrations, and gorilla tabs to prevent rotation
  9. Packing: weight limits, labeling, and cartons, drums, and skids
  10. Inspection: first article and during our production run
