Powder metal is an energy and material saving process. Intricate shapes are less expensively produced by powder metallurgy compared to machining. Powder metal also completes favorably with zinc die-casting. Less material waste, and fewer processing steps are some of the advantages of powder metal . Dymet offers engineering assistance in the crucial early stages of the design process.
Cooperation often leads to overall design production simplification and cost reduction.
Draft is generally not required. Generous radii and fillets are desirable to extend tool life. Chamfers, rather the radii, are necessary on part edges to prevent burring. Flats are necessary on chamfers to eliminate feather-edges on tools, which break easily. Dymet creates tiny parts from a variety of materials including aluminum, brass, bronze, nickel silver, steel and stainless steel.
