  • Publication number: 20120240401
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a heat sink is disclosed. A board having a first width is transported to a machine tool. The board is punched to form multiple sheet bodies. A bent part is formed on a terminal end of each sheet body having a second width. A first combined part protrudes from the bent part. A second combined part is hollowly disposed on the edge of the bent part as an indentation corresponding to the first combined part. The bent part is bent to stand correspondingly to each of the sheet bodies. Each sheet body is cut to form multiple heat dissipation fins. The second width is equal to the first width. When the heat dissipation fins overlap with each other, the first combined part of one heat dissipation fin is connected to the second combined part of another dissipation fin.
