Items | Suggestions | Reasons |
---|
Draft Angle | 1° to 3° (depending on material) | Ensures easy removal from molds, prevents part distortion, and aids in molding and casting processes. |
Hole Size | Tolerance: ±0.2 mm for small holes, ±0.5 mm for large holes | Achieves proper fit and function, especially for threaded holes or parts requiring tight assembly. |
Tolerance Control | ±0.05 mm for precision parts, ±0.1 mm for general parts | Ensures parts meet functional requirements, with tight tolerances critical for assembly and fit. |
Wall Thickness | 1 mm to 5 mm depending on material | Ensures part strength without material wastage and allows for efficient cooling in casting and molding. |
Surface Finish | Ra 1.6 to 3.2 µm (for CNC machining) | Achieves smooth surfaces that reduce friction, improve appearance, and ensure proper function. |
Radii and Fillets | Minimum radius: 0.5 mm | Reduces stress concentrations, improving strength and durability, especially in load-bearing parts. |
Interference Fit | H7 for holes and g6 for shafts | Ensures precise fits for press-fit components, reducing the risk of malfunction and wear. |
Corner and Edge Design | Minimum radius: 0.5 mm | Prevents sharp edges, reduces risk of injury or damage during handling, and improves product life. |
Assembly Clearances | 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm clearance between mating parts | Ensures proper assembly and function without binding or excessive friction between parts. |
Stacking & Alignment Features | Use of alignment pins or slots | Guarantees accurate assembly, prevents misalignment during prototype testing or production. |
