In the rapidly evolving electronics market—from high-end smartphones to automotive dash cams—the demand for precision camera covers and lens housings is exploding. Manufacturers are facing a critical challenge:
How to produce millions of high-precision aluminum parts with consistent quality while keeping costs low?
What is Cold Forging?
Cold Forging is a metal forming process performed at room temperature. Instead of cutting metal away, a Precision Cold Forging Machine uses high pressure to squeeze the metal billet into a die.
Net-Shape Manufacturing: The metal flows into the shape of the camera cover, creating a "near-net shape" part instantly.
Superior Strength: Unlike CNC, which cuts through the metal's grain structure, cold forging aligns the grain flow making the camera cover significantly stronger and more durable.
Why Cold Forging is Perfect for Camera Covers
Aesthetics & Anodizing: Cold forged aluminum (like AL6063) has a dense surface structure, which is perfect for anodizing . This ensures the camera cover looks premium on a smartphone.
Thin-Wall Precision: Modern High-Speed Cold Forging Machines (like [Your Brand Name] presses) can achieve incredibly thin walls required for compact lens designs without sacrificing strength.
Complex Geometries: With advanced die design, you can forge complex mounting features and threads directly, reducing secondary machining needs.
If you are a manufacturer of electronic components or automotive parts, transitioning to cold forging is not just an upgrade—it's a necessity to stay competitive.
