Aerospace Machined Bracket — DFM Redesign & GD&T

Report
Challenge: Redesign aerospace machined bracket to improve manufacturability and reduce tolerance stack-up for high-precision assembly. What I did: - Optimized fillet radii (R3) to match standard cutting tools - Single-setup machining direction — eliminated repositioning errors - Depth ≤ 3D on all features to prevent tool deflection - Synchronized hole patterns for one-pass drilling - Full GD&T per ASME Y14.5 with CMM inspection plan Result: 20% faster CNC cycle time · Zero rework on first article · Consistent tolerances confirmed by CMM inspection Tools: Fusion 360 · GD&T ASME Y14.5 · DFM · Tolerance Stack-up Material: Aluminum 6061-T6 · Clear Anodized
