초록 ▼

Examples of tooling fixtures and methods for manufacturing computing devices are described. According to some examples, a computer component may be shaped using successive steps of forging after deep drawing. In some examples, certain components may be assembled to form sub-assemblies of computer components and the sub-assembly may then be machined to drive closer tolerances. According to other examples, a work holding tool is described which may include a first plurality of individually movable pins for supporting a first surface of a work piece, the tool also having a second plurality of individually movable pins for applying a restraining force over a second opposite surface of the work piece to retain the work piece in position while maintaining it in its natural state.

1. A machining method for shaping an enclosure for a consumer electronic device that is formed of plastically deformable metal, the method comprising: providing a retaining force by a fixturing device that supports a curved region of the enclosure in a non-deformable manner, the fixturing device having adjustable support members that are supported by upper and lower portions, wherein the adjustable support members independently move relative to each other and to both the upper and lower portions such that a first set of the adjustable support members conform to a first curved surface of the curved region, and a second set of the adjustable support members conform to a second curved surface of the curved region that is opposite to the first curved surface;applying a tensile force, by a deep drawing press having a contact area, to a first portion of the first curved surface corresponding to the contact area, wherein the tensile force causes the first portion to stretch to form a protruding feature having walls having a first thickness and that extend away from the second curved surface; andapplying a compressive force in a direction opposite of the tensile force, by a forging press, to the second curved surface, thereby causing the walls to compress such that the walls have a second thickness that is greater than the first thickness. 2. The machining method of claim 1, wherein, subsequent to applying the tensile force, the walls of the protruding feature have an exposed curved edge. 3. The machining method of claim 2, wherein applying the compressive force causes the plastically deformable metal to compress in such a way that the exposed curved edge sharpens to form an exposed angular edge. 4. The machining method of claim 3, wherein the exposed angular edge has a greater thickness than the exposed curved edge. 5. The machining method of claim 1, wherein the retaining force applied by the adjustable support members to the first and second curved surfaces is less than one pound of force. 6. A method of shaping an enclosure for a consumer electronic device having a curved region, the method comprising: providing a retaining force by a holding tool that supports the curved region of the enclosure in a non-deformable manner, the holding tool having adjustable support members that are supported by upper and lower portions, wherein the adjustable support members independently move relative to each other and to both the upper and lower portions such that a first set of the adjustable support members support a first curved surface of the curved region, and a second set of the adjustable support members support a second curved surface of the curved region that is opposite to the first curved surface;applying a first force to a first portion of the first curved surface in a first direction that is generally perpendicular to a central plane of the enclosure to form a protruding feature in the first portion, wherein the protruding feature includes walls having a curved flanged surface that is defined by a major dimension and a minor dimension; andapplying a second force to the walls in a second direction generally opposite the first direction to decrease the major and minor dimensions so that the curved flanged surface approaches a sharp flanged surface. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein prior to applying the first force, the method further comprises: forming a hole within the first portion of the first curved surface. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein a first press is aligned with the hole prior to applying the first force. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the protruding feature has a substantially rectangular perimeter subsequent to applying the first force. 10. The method of claim 6, wherein the second force is applied to an exposed surface of the walls. 11. The machining method of claim 1, wherein the compressive force is applied to an exposed surface of the walls. 12. The method of claim 6, wherein the adjustable support members are locked at heights that conform to the first and second curved surfaces prior to applying the first and second forces.
