Machining and Mechanical Design for Medical and Semiconductor Parts in San Jose with WB Machining

When a design and the part that will be made from it are close together, problems get solved faster. WB Machining & Mechanical Design Inc is a San Jose CNC machining and mechanical design company listed here as focused on precision components for the medical and semiconductor industries, with 5-axis CNC machining, precision machining, sheet metal fabrication, mechanical design, assembly and automated CNC-CMM inspection. This page explains how design and machining work together and how to prepare a request in San Jose.

Mechanical design

Mechanical design turns an idea into a drawing that can be built. It considers how parts fit, what loads they carry, how they will be assembled and how they can be made at reasonable cost. The listing names mechanical design, so a buyer with a concept can ask for help. Describe what the part must do, what it must fit with and what constraints apply.

5-axis and precision machining

Five-axis machines reach several faces of a part in one setup, so complex features line up well. Precision machining is the general skill of holding close tolerances. For medical and semiconductor parts, close tolerance and surface quality are often important.

Sheet metal fabrication

Sheet metal fabrication cuts and bends flat material into covers, brackets and enclosures. Many products combine machined parts and sheet metal parts. The listing names both, so you can ask for a set to be quoted together.

Assembly

The listing names assembly. If you need machined parts, sheet metal parts and hardware assembled, send an assembly drawing and a parts list.

Automated CNC-CMM inspection

A coordinate measuring machine probes a part at points and compares them to the model. Automated inspection means the machine follows a program with less manual work, which can make measurement more repeatable. The listing names automated CNC-CMM inspection, so ask how it will be used on your part and what reports you will get.

Industries named

The listing names the medical and semiconductor industries. Tell the shop what standards, cleaning steps or documents your product requires. Put them in the request, as the listing does not detail them.

Working from concept to part

• Share a sketch, a model or a written description
• Say what the part must do and what it will touch
• List constraints such as size, weight and material
• Ask for design suggestions, and for cost impact
• Approve the final drawing before parts are made
• Request the model and drawing for your records

Prototype first

New designs benefit from a prototype. It shows fit and function, and shows what to change. Plan for at least one revision. When the design is final, order a larger quantity.

What to include in an RFQ

• Drawings or concept files
• Material and grade
• Quantity now and later
• Critical tolerances
• Finish and cleaning needs
• Inspection and report needs
• Delivery date

Ask about measurement

For precision parts, agree on how critical dimensions will be measured. Different methods can give slightly different values, so the agreement should be written into the order.

A San Jose partner

Silicon Valley’s medical and semiconductor teams often work against short schedules. A nearby shop can meet in person, review a design and respond when changes come.

Questions about design help

Ask how design time is charged and whether it is separate from machining. Ask who owns the design files when the job is done, and whether you receive the model and drawing. Ask how many revisions are included. These points are best settled at the start, so there are no surprises when the first parts arrive.
