The majority of metal traces used to produce electrical connections in semiconductor devices begin life as blanket metal films that are later patterned and etched to create conductive connections ...

In sheet-metal fabrication, parts are formed from metal sheets by punching, cutting, stamping, and bending. 3D CAD files are created using a host of different CAD packages and then converted into ...

When engineers need to make curved or bent pieces of sheet metal, they use company-written tables, rules of thumb, and guesstimates to determine the length of straight stock needed for bending into a ...
