Types of CNC Milling Machines
There are various types of CNC milling machines, including vertical and horizontal machining centers, and gantry mills for different machining tasks and workpiece sizes. 5-axis machines enable intricate part milling while micro-milling machines excel in precision for small components. The choice of machine depends on the specific job requirements, including material, part complexity, size, and […]
Design Considerations for Powder Coating
When surface finishing a product with powder coating, there are some key design considerations that must be taken into account, such as: Tolerances & coating thickness Material surface Color Cost Tolerances & coating thickness: The thickness of a typical powder coat adds .006”-.012” of surface thickness, which can throw off some low-tolerance builds or […]
