DFM Tips
- 1Design with generous draft angles (5–7°) on all die-contact surfaces for clean part release.
- 2Avoid sudden section changes—use gradual transitions to prevent cold shuts and folding defects.
- 3Specify flash land and gutter dimensions to ensure complete die fill without excessive flash.
- 4Plan post-forge machining allowances of 1–3mm on critical dimensions for finishing to tolerance.
