Currently designing an ABS injection-molded part with wall thickness of 2mm. I want to use an M8 screw for mounting the part (as it is industry standard), and thinking to use a heat-set insert to keep the tooling simple (no undercuts, screw threads) and overall strength.
However, manufacturer...
Realise this is probably a poor question due to variables (part geometry, intended use). However, trying to design an ABS-plastic injection-molded part and need the two halves of the housing to snap together. As such, been pulling apart every cheap ABS injection-molded part in my house: old...
Will try to do my best at explaining, you can see the less-than-helpful graphic attached as well.
I have a linkage of 4 segments joined end-to-end in a straight line. Rotation at each of the three joint locations is controlled by torsion springs (all three of same spring constant). A single...
Working on a low-cost prosthetic hand design, and looking for a lightweight yet rigid material to use as a housing for the heavy fishing line that actuates fingers. Catch is that I live in rural SE Asia and need to find parts that are already used in other commonly found items (or are common...
Starting to draw up plans for a affordable digitizer for use in prosthetic work in low-income settings. The primary function will be to trace the inner surfaces of plaster casts taken from client's residual limbs, converting them into a 3d-surface for computer-based model rectification and...
