Precision Engineering for Auto & Harley Customization
1. Manufacturing Process Comparison
Shared Core Technologies:
Unique Processing Requirements:
| Component Type | Auto Parts Focus | Harley Parts Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Material Thickness | Thinner gauges (3-8mm) | Heavy-section (5-15mm) |
| Surface Finish | Aerodynamic smoothing | Vintage texture replication |
| Vibration Resistance | High-frequency damping | Low-frequency harmonics |
| Certification | DOT/NHRA compliance | ISO 4209 motorcycle spec |
2. Dominant Manufacturing Methods
A. CNC Machining Advantages
- Auto Applications:
- Aluminum intake manifolds (±0.01mm tolerance)
- Titanium exhaust tips with mandrel bends
- Harley Applications:
