Design Guidelines for Machined Brackets

Optimize your designs for manufacturability and cost-effectiveness

Best Practices

  • Standard hole sizes: Use standard drill sizes and tap sizes to reduce tooling costs
  • Adequate wall thickness: Maintain minimum 2mm walls for aluminum, 1.5mm for steel
  • Corner radii: Specify internal radii instead of sharp corners (minimum R0.5mm)
  • Hole positioning: Maintain minimum 2× diameter edge distance for holes
  • Thread depth: Specify 1.5× diameter thread engagement for strength
  • Tolerance specification: Only specify tight tolerances where functionally required

Design Considerations

  • Material grain direction: Orient critical features perpendicular to grain for maximum strength
  • Stress concentrations: Add fillets at re-entrant corners to reduce stress
  • Flatness control: Specify flatness requirements only where needed for mating surfaces
  • Fixture access: Design with machining fixture considerations in mind
  • Deburring access: Ensure all edges are accessible for deburring operations
  • Marking area: Designate space for part numbers, date codes, and traceability marks
