Advantages
|
- Especially cost
effective for producing customised, high precision flat metal
parts.
- This process
presents a significant breakthrough for manufacturers,
especially electronics products makers, who are producing
smaller, more complex products with frequent model changes.
- Best use for
making prototypes to avoid high tooling cost and long
lead-time of stamping mold fabrication.
- Burr free &
no rough edges.
- No mechanical
stresses onto parts usually caused by stamping & metal
properties are not affected.
- Ideal for thin
& fragile metal/foils
- Parts with very
precise & intricate designs can be produced without
difficulty.
