Can Two Parts Be a Real Order?
Short answer: They were today. This video shows two 10mm T2 red copper rods bent into custom crank hooks on a precision hand die - a two-piece prototype order finished and checked the same day.
What the Video Demonstrates
| Step | Operation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Copper in the die | Supported bend |
| 2 | First sweep | Round corner |
| 3 | Index and form | Crank shape |
| 4 | Sample match | Both pieces true |
Key Applications
- Electrical contact and busbar arms
- Heat-exchanger prototype links
- Decorative copper hardware
Why Hand Dies for Tiny Copper Orders
| CNC setup | Hand die (shown) |
|---|---|
| Program time per part | Immediate forming |
| Best for batches | Best for one-offs |
| Operator feel protects soft metal |
FAQ
Will the prototype scale to production? Yes - geometry is digitized for CNC runs.
Can copper be plated after bending? Nickel and tin plating run after forming.
