Challenge: Very thin walls with extremely close tolerances are featured in this part, with many dimensions adjusted to allow for the anodize plating buildup of just .0003 per side. What’s more, intricate masking was required to paint the internal walls with light absorbing material. Material: Black anodized aluminum Size: 2.75” x 9” x 11.75”

Challenge: This part has a bore diameter tolerance of “plus” .0005 with an extremely close concentricity callout to an opposing counter bore. The thin walls in the “cone” area along with the large cutouts make it difficult to hold the tolerances in an “un-restrained” condition. Material: Titanium. Size: 2.125” x 3.5”
