S7E12 Flash Training: Design for Assembly: Why Fewer Screw Lengths Makes Everything Easier
About this episode
Mark Blakey shares a strategy for standardizing screw lengths in assembly design to simplify manufacturing processes.
Send us Fan Mail Watch this flash training here: https://youtu.be/QCy9i4TB2b4 When engineers design parts in isolation, it’s easy to unintentionally introduce dozens of slightly different fastener lengths into an assembly. That might not seem like a big deal during CAD, but it becomes a real problem on the shop floor. In this short engineering pro tip, Pipeline automation engineer Mark Blakey explains a simple strategy he uses in SOLIDWORKS to standardize screw lengths across an assembly. By ...
