Importance of CNC Machining
Besides the fact that CNC is high-tech and advanced, there are a ton of important benefits and factors that make it extraordinary. One of the best factors would be the accuracy and precision of the products manufactured. Since it’s run by software, errors are minimal, and a lot of times, there’s no need for further […]
Electro Chemical Machining
This is another style of machining that uses electricity to make cuts—more specifically, holes. You’d want to opt for this when you’re set on creating a smooth, aesthetically pleasing surface finish, free of flaws. This happens through reverse electroplating (and it’s capable of cutting unique shapes and angles that other machines can’t. It’s a cold […]
Broaching
In this kind of machining, you’re working with a tool called a broach, that’s essentially a cylindrical tool with teeth that are in increasingly larger sizes down the length of the tool. It cuts through material in two kinds of methods, push or pull. The former uses a vertical press-type machine, and the latter can […]
Working Principle of CNC Machining
CNC machining is a manufacturing process that is typically categorized as a subtractive process or a process that’s primary goal is to remove material from a workpiece to achieve the desired form and measurement. There are many different categories of CNC machining but the most common are laser cutting, CNC turning and milling, CNC grinding, […]
Applied Industry of CNC Metal Parts
Applications of CNC metal parts are huge and wide ranging from the aerospace, automotive to medical devices, electronics industry even across oil & gas manufactures products defense instrument super communication mixed energy constructing water vehicles consumer resources as well guy food manufacturing mining environmental connected ongoing lines. CNC, precision machined metal parts play essential functions […]
Sawing
If you’re looking for a way to create shorter lengths and cuts, sawing is it. There are tons of saws available, whether you need band saws that can slice through soft or hard materials, like band, hacksaw, and circular models. The speeds at which they can cut also vary, and it will depend on the […]
The Precision of Plastic CNC Milling Compare to Injection Molding
The precision of Plastic CNC Milling often surpasses that of injection molding. CNC Milling typically offers exceptional precision, often with tolerances in the range of 0.001 inches, making it suitable for producing highly accurate and intricate plastic parts. In contrast, while injection molding is efficient for high-volume production, its tolerances may be slightly lower due […]
Planing
If you have large, flat surfaces you’re working with that’ll be processed further, planing is a great place to start. This method uses linear toolpaths to make cuts and carve off material with a cutting tool. Then, down the road you can send the workpiece off for things like scraping, once this is complete.
Limitations That CNC Milling Have on the Shapes of Plastic Products
CNC Milling, while highly versatile, does have limitations when it comes to the shapes of plastic products it can produce. Some of the limitations include: Undercuts: CNC Milling may have limitations in producing parts with complex undercuts, which require specialized tooling and can increase production costs. Intricate Internal Cavities: Extremely intricate internal cavities can be […]
Electric Discharge Machining
Also called EDM, for short, electric discharge machining releases electric discharges that create tiny craters into the surface of your workpiece. The quick succession of these fiery arcs leads to complete cuts (and gives it its other nickname, spark machining). It’s a nice option if you need to create complex geometrical shapes, especially when you’re working with […]
