Appendices 305 Three basic questions should be asked to evaluate the feasibility of combining parts 1. When the product is being used does one part move with respect to mating parts 2. Must adjacent parts be made of different materials 3. If parts were combined would manufacture assembly of other parts or servicing be made more difficult or impossible If the answer is YES TO ANY PROBABLY NOT FEASIBLE NO TO ALL GOOD CANDIDATE TO BE COMBINED The important principles in combining parts are - Incorporate hinges Use integral springs - Use snap fits - Incorporate guides bearings covers etc - Put electrical and electronic components in .
