Project Snapshot
Process
5-axis machining review for angled faces, multi-side holes and reduced setup error.
Critical features
Datum relationship, angled hole position, profile accuracy and mating face alignment.
Order type
Prototype complex bracket with manufacturability review before repeat production.
Machining Challenge
The bracket had features on multiple faces, making datum transfer and fixture planning important. A simple 3-axis process could add extra setups and increase the risk of alignment error.
Result and RFQ Lesson
The project-style review helped the buyer understand when 5-axis machining was worth the added cost. The main RFQ lesson was to mark the functional faces and assembly datums clearly so machining strategy could match real part function.
Manufacturing Review
- Reviewed the 3D model and 2D drawing to identify true critical features.
- Compared 3-axis and 5-axis process routes before quoting.
- Planned machining access for angled holes, side features and mating faces.
- Confirmed inspection strategy before production so critical geometry could be measured properly.
Inspection Focus
- Checked datum faces and the relationship between multi-face features.
- Focused on angled holes, mating surfaces and critical profile areas.
- Reviewed burr control around intersecting features.
- Confirmed whether customer inspection reports were required before shipment.
