How it is made4 steps

aluminium or titanium billetstamped and small moulded parts

Routes, not a sequence: a given part goes down one of them. All four are named by Figure.

  1. 1

    Machining from solid, for prototypes

    A computer-controlled mill cuts each part out of a solid block of metal.

    Detail
    Goes in
    aluminium or titanium billet
    Comes out
    machined part
    Equipment
    CNC machining centre
    Why it matters
    It holds tight tolerances and needs no tooling, but it is slow: Figure says it does not scale when cost and time per part have to fall.

  2. 2

    Die casting

    Molten metal is shot under pressure into a steel mould and comes out as a near-finished part.

    Detail
    Goes in
    aluminium alloy
    Comes out
    cast structural part
    Equipment
    die-casting machine with steel moulds
    Why it matters
    A part that spent over a week on a machining centre can be made in seconds once the mould exists. · our reading
    Numbers
    • time per part with moulds: under 20 seconds (figure.ai · primary)

    Injection moulding

    Melted plastic is injected into a mould to make covers, shells and plastic structural parts.

    Detail
    Goes in
    engineering plastics
    Comes out
    moulded plastic part
    Equipment
    injection moulding machine
    Why it matters
    One mould can also replace several joined parts with a single one, which cuts assembly time. · our reading

  4. 4

    Stamping and metal injection moulding

    Sheet-metal parts are pressed in dies, and small complex metal parts are moulded from metal powder.

    Detail
    Goes in
    sheet metal, metal powder feedstock
    Comes out
    stamped and small moulded parts
    Equipment
    stamping press, metal injection moulding line
    Why it matters
    These tooled processes cost a lot up front and pay back at volume.

  • alloy grades, part masses, and which part is cast, moulded or machined: no maker publishes them (the recipe's gap)
  • finishing (heat treatment, anodising, painting) of the structural parts: not on any page read
