Aspect's important before design or manufacturing dies

The manufacturability of products depends on many factors. Sometimes a lack of space may prevent a mechanic from reaching the area of concern, and long hours may be lost before this obstacle is overcome. Or a wrong sequence of operations will cause the final product to become distorted. Sometimes an adhesive may not hold because the part was not degreased enough, or a screw may fall out because someone forgot to add that second nut or a drop of Loctite. In die work, the manufacturability of parts is dependent on much narrower range of influences. The main areas of concern are 1. Grain direction of the material 2. Openings, their shape and location 3. Bends and other three-dimensional alterations to the flat part, their shape and location 4. Outline of the part and its size 5. Applicable tolerance ranges 6. Surface finish, flatness, straightness, and burr allowance
