Living Hinge Design: How to Design a Living Hinge

A living hinge is a thin, flexible strip made from the same material as the connected parts, designed to let them bend or rotate without additional hardware. They are low-cost, easy to manufacture, and have little wear or friction involved in operation. But while the idea is simple, the execution can be more complicated. Living […]

First Article Inspection (FAI): The Guide for Engineers and Manufacturers

In manufacturing, quality control is engineered and measured. Before production launch, you need proof that your design can be built repeatedly as intended. That data comes from a verification process called First Article Inspection (FAI). During product development, engineers put considerable effort into ensuring the design is near perfect—from dialing in dimensions and tolerances to […]
