What is a Minimum Blank Size?

A Minimum Blank Size refers to the smallest size of a sheet or piece of material that can be used in a manufacturing process, such as stamping or cutting, to create a specific part or product. This size is determined by the dimensions of the final product, the type of material being used, and the specific manufacturing process. It is important to calculate the minimum blank size accurately to minimize waste and reduce production costs.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ MBS = (50 + 2 \cdot 2) \cdot 1.5 = 81 \]

The Minimum Blank Size is 81 mm.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ MBS = (100 + 2 \cdot 3) \cdot 2 = 206 \]

The Minimum Blank Size is 206 mm.
