How to design CNC parts that move smoothly from quote to delivery without surprise costs. Real-world DFM rules, tolerances, and common pitfalls — written for the way Uretyco actually quotes.
Manufacturing Methods
MJF and SLS are some of the most underused tools in our customers' belts. Here is how to design parts that are mechanically sound, cosmetically acceptable, and cost-effective.
Manufacturing Methods
Most rejected sheet-metal quotes fail not because of the cuts but because of how the bends were modeled. This is a practical guide to clean DXFs, accurate flat patterns, and predictable bends.
Manufacturing Methods
Injection molding rewards discipline and punishes ambiguity. A few core DFM rules will keep your tooling cost in check and your cycle time short.
Manufacturing Methods
A clean surface finish is the difference between a part that ages well and one that looks tired in months. Here is a practical decision matrix for the finishes Uretyco runs.
Materials
The three most-quoted aluminum alloys on Uretyco look similar on paper. Their differences matter once the part is in service.
Materials
Polymer choice is rarely about peak strength. It is about temperature, cost, machinability, and how the part lives in its environment.
Materials
Three stainless grades cover most industrial demands. The differences are subtle on paper and decisive in service.
Platform
What actually happens between the moment you upload a STEP and the price appears. The factors, the math, and the boundaries we are honest about.
Platform
What happens after you click 'order' — the supplier, the production, the QA, and the logistics. Where time actually goes, and where you can save it.
