Tooling involves the hunt and acquisition of different components and machinery required to produce something. It covers a lot of categories, the most common of which are jigs, fixtures, gauges, dies, molds, cutting patterns, and equipment.
The process of tooling is more than just choosing based on what’s readily available, or what others are using.
Remember that the outcome of the tooling process directly affects the quality of the end product, as well as the costs that go with the entire process. Because of this, extreme care is required if you are put in charge of the process.
Today we will share some GIFs to explain its working principle and inner structures. Hope this post can help you design the tools better.
