function, such as:
Attachment
Pivoting
Manufacturing
Storage
Design reinforcement
This is another reason why looking at the exact model matters.
Not every “tiny hole” on a nail clipper serves the same purpose.
A Small Hole Can Also Reduce Material
From a manufacturing perspective, removing a tiny amount of material can sometimes make a component lighter or easier to produce.
However, manufacturers don’t generally punch holes into mechanical components without considering how the opening affects strength.
The location matters enormously.
A hole near a high-stress point must be carefully engineered.
That’s
There’s more to discover. Continue to the next page for the rest of this article.
