Great! Thanks for the suggestions, I'm augmenting my next prototype based on everyone's input. Thank you!
As a junior engineer working in a small team with little supervision, I don't get a chance to work with many other engineers. I truly value the input I'm getting from everyone, makes me...
Thanks for everybody's input! All the links provided have been very useful.

Does this mean that the friction coefficient between two materials, mu, are predominantly dependent on surface finish over other things such as hardness and Alloy composition? As a...
Hello all,
I have a question regarding a biomedical design project I'm working on that I'd love to hear people's opinion on. I work in a small team here, so I'd love to get some exposure from others who have more experience with mechanisms design in the biomedical tools field, specifically with...
Hey All,
Thanks so much for the constructive input! @ Maui, I will look into the jewelers collets. It could be a quicker solution.
@Redpicker, I am making 45 of these, at 3 different IDs ranging from 1/16" to 0.078". I'm assuming that if I notice no distortion through our in house heat...
Hello all,
I am in the process of designing a custom collet to grip thin wires for a biomedical engineering project. These wires are around 1/16" thick and the collet is around 1.5"long and 3/8" thick at the largest part. What I am wondering is whether there is any heat treating process that...
The device I am making is a prototype surgical tool. The form factor is about the size of a hot glue gun. The distal end is roughly 30cm away from the handle, so a stainless steel tube is used to provide rigidity.
Are there possibilities to bending the sheet metal into a roll and inserting the...
Thanks for the reply everybody.
This is a one-off situation for a prototype part. I shall look into my options, but all the above comments are much appreciated.
What are the tolerances that I could expect from this procedure? I presume it is all down to the sturdiness of the setup.
Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to spot weld a piece of flat sheet metal to the shank of a round steel tube. The size of the tube I have in mind is small (roughly 1/4"OD), and the sheet thickness is yet to be determined.
If anybody has any suggestions as to where I can go to look up more...
