Key Highlights

An extrusion-first proposal that addressed tolerance risk, target cost, and production scalability for a critical heat sink design. 

Extrusion-Based Solution Proposed

Customer faced tolerance issues in machining. Extrusion was proposed to improve repeatability and enable cost-effective scaling.

Critical Geometry Locked-In Early

Key dimensions were frozen early to protect fit and performance, reducing risk before committing to extrusion tooling.

Surface Finish Route Defined

Surface finish expectations were addressed early by defining glass bead blasting after evaluating multiple finishing options.
