A programme, which is claimed to reduce the design times of micro-mechanical assembly components by 40% or more, has been introduced by STANLEY Engineered Fastening. The Electronics Engineered Standards Program is designed for electronics design and manufacturing companies seeking to accelerate their innovation cycles, lower total costs and increase first-time yields.

The company’s suite of online tools offers engineers an alternative to trial-and-error fastening designs, which slow time-to-market and increase costs. The suite features more than 280 engineered components, designed specifically for today’s electronic device form factors. These components include old-formed fasteners, rivets, inserts, press nuts and standoffs, all of which address miniature applications. The suite covers precision CNC, cosmetic finishes, performance coatings, micro-stampings, tools and automation systems.

STANLEY’s ‘Try it, Test it, Customize it’ portal allows engineers to customise designs, request samples and secure rapid prototypes and testing support. The suite provides 24-hour real-time access to 3D models, 2D drawings, animations and design guide materials. Selecting the right components and assembly solutions early in the development phase enables companies to bring products to market faster by helping engineers design a product that performs to testing requirements the first time round.

“Having a comprehensive online library of engineered fasteners with accurate 3D models, integrated sample requests and integrated customisation requests all in one place will enable the design engineers to streamline this area of our development process to produce improved outcomes in less time,” commented Anthony Cuteri, Programme Manager, Dell.
