They can now make 128 parts per mold! That is HUGE!


"In a recent study, a total of 128 parts (32 per cavity), which can be seen on the back cover of this paper, from a four cavity sales sample mold were inspected. The four measurements are plotted below. Each cavity plot includes the calculated six-sigma capability of that cavity. Additionally, the combined six sigma capability across all four cavities (128 parts) was calculated and plotted. The colored lines in each of the following four charts represents the individual cavities and the solid black line represents the combined six sigma plot for all four cavities. Along with the tables cavity(s) displayed, note the summary capability data from this study as well. As you can see from the data, the Liquidmetal process provides significantly high levels of precision and repeatability, far better than many other metal forming technologies. The specifications for this component are very narrow and are even more challenging when asked to comply with them within a Six Sigma capability."
