Lead frames factory by Dongguan Fortuna: Wall Thickness and Fillets – Wall thickness is critical for both strength and machinability. Thin walls can lead to part deformation, while overly thick walls might be unnecessary and increase material costs. Aim for a balanced wall thickness that maintains strength without compromising machinability. Fillets, or rounded internal corners, are also vital. They reduce stress concentrations and enhance the lifespan of cutting tools. Incorporating fillets into your design can lead to more durable parts and smoother machining processes. Threaded Features – Threads are essential for assembly in many CNC machined parts. Designing internal and external threads requires attention to detail to ensure compatibility and durability. Standard thread sizes and pitches can simplify machining and reduce costs. See more details at stamping automotive.
Recycling and Reusing Material: Implementing a recycling and reuse strategy for scrap materials can reduce costs. Recycling metal chips and reusing material where possible can lead to significant savings, especially in high-volume production. In summary, designing for CNC machining involves careful consideration of materials, tolerances, geometries, and tooling. By following best practices and incorporating specific design features, you can optimize the machining process and produce high-quality parts efficiently.
Fortuna has more than 20 years of experience in product stamping and mold processing, and has extremely professional capabilities. Our mold processing uses slow wire cutting and grinding machine processing equipment imported from Japan. The tolerance of mold processing parts can reach 0.002mm, and the overall mold processing tolerance can reach 0.02mm. Our engineers have outstanding professional abilities. They all have more than 10 years of experience in the field of mold design, and are also proficient in Solid work, Pro/E, UG 3D software and CAD and other drawing softwares.

After we receive the customer’s drawings, professional engineers will conduct DFM analysis of the product. Design feasibility analysis: Evaluate the feasibility of the mold design, including mold materials, structure and processing technology. By analyzing whether the mold design meets the existing technical conditions and process capabilities, determine its feasibility and provide suggestions for improvement. Manufacturability analysis: Conduct multi-dimensional analysis on the drawings provided by customers to provide customers with a variety of achievable, cost-reducing and efficiency-increasing stamping solutions while ensuring the functional structure of the product.
Material Selection – Selecting the right material is crucial for CNC machining. Metals like aluminum, steel, and titanium are popular due to their strength and machinability. Plastics such as ABS and polycarbonate are also commonly used for their ease of machining and lightweight properties. Composites can offer unique advantages but might require special considerations due to their structure. Material properties like hardness, tensile strength, and thermal stability affect how they can be machined. For instance, harder materials may require slower machining speeds and more robust tooling, while softer materials can be machined more quickly but might necessitate careful handling to avoid deformation.
The stamping process is generally divided into forming and separation processes. Fortuna is mainly customized and designed through customer drawings. It generally goes through 10 steps such as DFM Evaluation, Mold Design, Mold Assembly, Sample Submission, and Mass Production to achieve a project. After stamping and forming, we will also perform electroplating, heat treatment, tapping, riveting and other processes on the product according to customer needs to ensure that the product will not be oxidized, deformed and other product defects. Our company currently has 70 stamping equipments, most of which are high-precision equipment imported from Japan. The main brands are Chin Feng, AOMATE, Aida, DOBBY, etc.
In order to achieve the high quality requirements of customers with zero defects, we have introduced 5 sets of CCD automatic inspection equipment to directly realize the visual inspection and size inspection during production. Quality management system fully complies with IATF16949:2016. The quality is analyzed and monitored through five factors:man, machine, material, method and environments. Through the use of various tools that include PPAP, CP, FEMA and SPC, we continually and successfully guarantee that our commitments to you are met. We have also integrated these tools with some other quality processes to ensure added value and excellence.
