Abstract: Examples of tooling fixtures and methods for manufacturing computing devices are described. According to some examples, a computer component may be shaped using successive steps of forging after deep drawing. In some examples, certain components may be assembled to form sub-assemblies of computer components and the sub-assembly may then be machined to drive closer tolerances. According to other examples, a work holding tool is described which may include a first plurality of individually movable pins for supporting a first surface of a work piece, the tool also having a second plurality of individually movable pins for applying a restraining force over a second opposite surface of the work piece to retain the work piece in position while maintaining it in its natural state.

Abstract: A method for friction stir welding is provided. The method may include compressing mating surfaces of first and second parts against one another in a fixture. One of the first part and the second part may include a first expendable portion and one of the first part and the second part may include a second expendable portion. A rotating pin may be inserted into the first expendable portion, directed along the joint, and removed from the second expendable portion. A conical pin with a threaded outer surface comprising one or more flat sections may be employed in the welding operations.
