Well you mentioned ball & socket made from delrin & nylon...depending on the dimensions and the need for the ball to snap into the socket and be retained by the socket, I'm thinking that any VMC would be used mainly for roughing a cavity I believe what you'll end up needing is a mold to form the outside surface of the socket, the ball will most likely be a type where it breaks into several parts...your socket will mostly likely be a press mold...I would recommend drawing up the parts or products and then approaching a company that produces prototypes and get recommendations on how best to mass produce the parts. Are you all thinking of medical implants? |
