At Amtech, we pride ourselves on our ability to deliver precision manufacturing solutions tailored to our clients' unique needs. Recently, we had the opportunity to assist a customer with a custom fourslide part, and we wanted to share the success story.


The Challenge


Our client came to us with a particular challenge: they needed to enhance the durability of a custom clip that was being deformed under a unique adverse condition. This clip was a vital component of their product, and they needed a solution that would not only fulfill their performance criteria but also remain cost-effective.





It was crucial to identify the core issue. The original components did not provide the necessary durability for the customer's challenging application, which involved harsh conditions that the initial version could not endure. To address their concerns without increasing costs, we had to discover innovative methods to improve the design's strength.



Our Approach


Understanding the Requirements


We began by thoroughly understanding the client's requirements and constraints. This involved detailed discussions and analysis to ensure we had a clear picture of what was needed. We reviewed the functionality, dimensions, and performance specifications that the custom part had to meet. Our engineering team also performed a comparative analysis of the existing part versus the desired specifications.


A crucial element of our approach was clear communication. Frequent updates ensured that we remained aligned with the customer’s expectations throughout the entire process.



Design and Prototyping


Leveraging our expertise in custom fabrication, we quickly moved to the design phase. Our team utilized advanced CAD software to create a design that would enhance the part's strength without adding unnecessary costs.


We focused on optimizing the material composition and the geometric characteristics of the part. Using CAD mockups we selected the most promising option(s) to proceed to the next step.

Rapid Prototyping


To ensure the design met the client's expectations, we provided sample parts in a short turnaround time that closely aligns with our mass production phase. This allowed the client to test and validate the improvements before moving to mass production.


By employing rapid prototyping techniques, we were able to produce functional samples quickly. The client reviewed these prototypes and conducted their own testing for strength and durability. We're proud to say that the feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with the client appreciating the efficiency and responsiveness displayed by our team.



The Outcome


The results were impressive. The custom fourslide part not only met but exceeded the client's strength requirements. Through meticulous design and effective communication, we had successfully enhanced the metal clip while keeping costs down.


Furthermore, our cost-effective approach ensured that the project stayed within budget. This was not only beneficial for our client but solidified our relationship as a trusted manufacturing partner. We are now gearing up for the mass production phase, confident that our solution will provide long-term value to our client.
