It can be hard to predict how much a wire forming job will cost. There are many different variables that go into the cost of wire forming<\/a>. If you\u2019re on a budget, you may be looking for ways to reduce wire forming costs without sacrificing the quality and function of your parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using cheaper wire forming materials<\/a> is an obvious way to lower your wire forming costs. Yet, cheaper materials can affect the quality of your parts. The good news is that it\u2019s possible to use the best quality materials and still save money on wire forming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many different ways to reduce your wire forming costs. We rounded up the best ways that won\u2019t compromise the quality and performance of your products. Before we start, we want to mention that wire forming is the best method to use if you want to save money. It’s a much cheaper and quicker method than hand-bending or air-bending. It’s because you don’t need any extra tooling. So if you’re set on wire forming, you’re already on the right path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Use Lower Tolerances<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lower tolerances equal greater savings. It’s because the tighter the tolerances, the more accurate everything has to be. That means more stringent standards and more thorough inspections. This adds a lot of time to the production process, which means you would have to pay more money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can open up the tolerances without sacrificing the integrity of your pieces, do it. That will keep the costs down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Put As Many Bends As Possible Into The Same Plane<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In wire forming, you bend a wire around a tool. The faster you complete the job, the less expensive it will be. So if your part needs bends on different planes, the process slows down quite a bit. It’s because the pieces will need to be run through the machine more than once. That means higher production costs for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that there’s an easy way to avoid the need for bends on different planes. It’s to try and put as many bends as feasible into the same plane. By “plane”, we mean one side of the wire. If you can bend the wire around a tool one time to complete the job, all the bends are on one plane. If you can keep bends in the same plane, you reduce the number of operations involved in forming your wire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Dimension All The Wire Bends On An Interior Angle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When designing your pieces, be sure to dimension all the wire bends on an interior angle. That means the plane that comes in contact with the tool during the wire bending process. Doing this keeps the costs down. It’s because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
