Case study of cost reduction in metal processing through shape modification of inner corner sections.

Design to change the corner to a rounded shape! Processing time can be significantly reduced, leading to cost savings!

For mechanical parts with inner corners that are right angles, in addition to external machining, the inside is processed using a wire-cut electrical discharge machine. The wire-cut electrical discharge machine requires a long processing time. Therefore, the cost of mechanical parts is high due to the right-angle shape of the inner corners. In cases where the inner corners of mechanical parts do not necessarily need to be right angles, a design change to R-shaped corners can be considered. This allows for a machining method where first, holes are drilled at the four corners, followed by rough machining primarily using a roughing end mill, and then finishing with a flat end mill, significantly reducing processing time and lowering costs.
