Good morning,

 

We understand that the functional fit against the compartment walls is the critical quality metric for this project. To ensure we meet these requirements and account for the potential for material movement, we will adopt the following process:

• Tooling: We will utilize a physical template to verify the contour fit during production. To ensure this template is accurate to your specific needs, we will require you to provide one sample lid that is known to fit perfectly. We will then use that part to fabricate the master template.
• Stability Hold: We will implement a mandatory 24-hour post-forming stabilization period. Parts will be checked for fit immediately upon forming and again after the 24-hour hold before being cleared for shipment.
•  

Does this process align with your internal inspection requirements, or would you like to review our proposed template design before we begin production?

 

Thank you,

 

Tanguy

From our engineer: 

"Thickness can be in that range. 0.5" radius will work. They will need to have a template that they can make sure the underside of the lid contours close to the shouldered edge on the inside of the two compartment walls. They will need to check the fit even if they did match up all dimensions. One end of the can be good, while other is skewed. Also, once they are finished and checked against the walls, they need to sit for a day to confirm they didn't move. These can't be sent back easily if they aren't good. The place that made 'em for us used to get it right just about every time. But the last bunch of batches I always brought one or two back to re-form."

 

So a radius close to 0.5" can work for the bend, but the fit is the most critical dimension. Lets go with the 0.220" thickness as well. 

 

Let me know if you need any additional info!

OK  As soon your engineer tell me about the radius and the thickness I will send you a quote

We would need 3 of these lids please !

 

Best,

Hi Tanguy,

Here are the dxf and STEP files are attached below. 

 

I am asking our engineer your questions and will get back to you as soon as they respond.

Thanks,

 

Ivan

Good afternoon,

I received your request   If you can send me a dxf and step, that will be nice since I am missing some data for the holes location.

 

First, there is 0.220 or 0.250 in clear acrylic  the 236 is difficult to get

Also, I need to know what are the important dimension since acrylic is never perfect.  Also, when you are mentioning a radius of 0.512, is it important or not. If yes, I need to make a mold to be accurate  If not, the radius will be close to 0.5” but close not accurate

Thank you

Tanguy
