May seem like a dumb question, but is there a limit to the thickness of a part? Or maybe a better question would be, at what point are you wasting money to produce a robust part with similar dimensions to the original? Especially in a part that requires being bolted down?
The cover that is being made was probably originally stamped in steel, molded in plastic, or cast aluminum. And while the CF is capable of being much thinner, I can imagine other reasons to keep it the same thickness, for instance if a bracket were to be mounted off the same bolts, and alignment was critical..etc.
Is there any merit or detractors to just making the part dimensionally exact to the original?
Thank you.
