But is there an NRE (non-recurring engineering charge) to do that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well if the Zipper Fin heat sinks are from ATS, the answer is NO. The ATS selection of pre-tooled zipper fin profiles provides reliable cooling at significant cost savings for customers. Zipper fin heat sinks are a cost-effective and lightweight alternative to other high fin density solutions, especially for high-volume production. <strong><em>ATS pre-tooled zipper fin profiles have no NRE<\/em><\/strong> (non-recurring engineering charge) to offer further savings for customers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.qats.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/zipper_fin_heat_sinks_pic1_350x197.png\" alt=\"ducted aluminum heat sink with zipper fin\" class=\"wp-image-5785\" width=\"478\" height=\"269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qats.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/zipper_fin_heat_sinks_pic1_350x197.png 350w, https:\/\/www.qats.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/zipper_fin_heat_sinks_pic1_350x197-300x168.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more about our heat sinks made from Zipper fins, please visit our Zipper Fin page on our web site:  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.qats.com\/ATS-Zipper.aspx\">ATS Zipper Fin Heat Sinks<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A common question we get asked is: &#8220;Do Zipper Fin Heat Sinks Need to be Tooled and is there an NRE?&#8221; The short answer is yes.
