Manufacturing a new product

[LockyPhysics]

Hi everyone,

I have a project in which I have to introduce a new product into a companies manufacturing setup. The product has to include at least one of the following processes, metal forming, casting and at least one from the machining processes such as milling, drilling and turning.
The type of product and the manufacture of the product should be outlined and include all aspects of the manufacturng method, including materials, processing methods, and sketches and drawings if neccessary.

Just looking for a few tips on products I could use.

Regards,
LockyPhysics

You may get some ideas from these two websites:

How about car parts?

How about car parts?

That's a good idea, with a tremendous versatility to it. I wonder, though, if Locky is referring to a specific company. If so, it would be rather important to know what they make. If their product line consists solely of marine anchor mechanisms, a fender won't be too helpful.

Hello LockyPhysics,

I understand the importance of incorporating various processes in manufacturing a new product. It is crucial to consider the type of product, materials, and processing methods to ensure efficient and effective production.

One potential product that could utilize metal forming and machining processes is a bicycle frame. The frame could be made from aluminum or steel, which are commonly used materials in the cycling industry. The metal forming process could involve extrusion or hydroforming to shape the tubes of the frame, while the machining processes of milling and drilling could be used to create precise holes and threads for attaching other components such as the handlebars and gears.

Another product that could incorporate casting and machining processes is a cooking pan. The pan could be made from cast iron, which is a durable and heat-resistant material. The casting process would involve pouring molten iron into a mold to create the desired shape of the pan. Then, the machining process of turning could be used to create a smooth and even surface for cooking, as well as drilling for adding a handle.

In terms of sketches and drawings, it would be helpful to create detailed technical drawings of the product, including dimensions and specifications for each component. This will aid in the manufacturing process and ensure consistency and accuracy in the final product.

I hope these suggestions provide some insights and ideas for your project. Best of luck in your manufacturing endeavor.

Sincerely,
