Rapid tooling was the only real option for this project to hit all the markers set down by the client. The very detailed DFM report at the beginning of this project was key to the ultimate overall success of the project.
It was these initial suggestions and changes to the part design that ensured the test parts were able to hit the tight tolerances required, as verified by our test run CMM report.
Once the parts passed it was fairly easy to proceed with the fixtures needed to finish this project off.

DFM reports are essential for any tooling project but any report needs to be then quickly followed up with effective communication for successful time line execution.
