Non-standard shaped parts are those parts or devices that cannot be simply defined as standard and require special design and manufacture. In the course of the rapid development of Chinese industry, the increasing demand in the market, as well as the requirement for higher and higher technical content of products, inevitably requires the development and production of these non-standard shaped parts. These non-standard shaped parts are not only used in high-end fields such as military and aviation, but are also widely used in civil fields such as energy, transportation, electronics, machinery and other industrial fields, becoming an indispensable part of the modern manufacturing industry.
The characteristics of non-standard shaped parts are
More with special features
As carbide non-standard shaped parts often need to be custom manufactured and prepared for a specific market or business, they often have a special function as well. For example, parts mounted on specific process equipment can have very precise measuring and adjustment functions in order to enable the equipment to perform its tasks on demand. These special features make non-standard shaped parts a very important component, as they can solve problems like production costs and production processes.
The complexity and difficulty of manufacturing
Designing and producing non-standard shaped parts requires considerable technical and manufacturing capability, as well as a greater investment of time and capital. Because non-standard shaped parts are different from standard parts, they cannot be produced or manufactured in the same way. The materials, processes, tooling and equipment that need to be investigated therein have to be specifically developed and adapted to enable the production of a qualified and compliant product. As a result, non-standard shaped parts are more complex and difficult to manufacture, requiring more effort, technology and manpower.
Higher manufacturing costs
Due to the high manufacturing complexity of non-standard shaped parts, the manufacturing costs are also high. This is due to the fact that non-standard shaped parts usually require bespoke products, which take longer and can be more complex in terms of materials and processes. In addition, production batches are smaller, resulting in production costs that cannot be apportioned, but are instead more significant. At the same time, non-standard shaped parts are generally produced in small batches or even as single pieces, without the step-down cost reduction benefits of standard items, so the cost per piece is often higher.
Special technical requirements like metal processing, plastic processing
The manufacture of carbide non-standard shaped parts requires many special technologies, such as metal processing, plastic processing, etc., which are different from ordinary processing technologies. Producers must either have these special skills or work with specialist manufacturers or suppliers, which requires very high quality suppliers in the industry who can provide a variety of complex manufacturing techniques and support such as advanced equipment and tooling.
Longer production lead times
Due to the special characteristics and high manufacturing complexity of carbide non-standard shaped parts, their production lead time is usually long. A great deal of time is required to research, design, manufacture and test, so without sufficient experience and skill, it can take longer to complete the entire process. Of course, due to the high demand for innovative off-standard shaped parts, more and more efficient technologies are being forced to be developed in ever faster timescales. In this way, production cycles can be as short as a few days if the demand is sufficient.
Overall, carbide off-standard shaped parts are so important because of their aforementioned characteristics, the ability to use more complex manufacturing processes, more creative and more precise functions, and thus the development and progress of modern manufacturing. At the same time, it is these characteristics of non-standard shaped parts and their production lead time and other shortcomings that make them a high value added product, supplying many important services in the market demand and bringing more opportunities and profitability to all.
