I’ve determined that spinning could work for my part. Are there any design tips I should keep in mind?
Some design tips to keep in mind are:
- Where possible, allow a center pilot hole to reduce cost.
- Use beads, grooves or flanges to add strength and rigidity.
- Large corner radii will add strength and is more cost effective.
- Design changes reducing the inside diameter are relatively inexpensive, increasing the inside diameter requires new tooling.
- The smaller the tolerance, the more expensive the part.
- Flexibility in part design results in increased savings.
- Use I.D. dimensions on drawings where possible, as the spin tool is made from I.D. dimensions
