Use copper design, processing and surface treatment requirements

Copper is a truly versatile metal. Copper has a naturally beautiful, shiny finish, making it ideal for artwork, kitchenware, kitchen backsplashes, countertops, and even jewelry. It also has excellent materials and electrical properties, and is suitable for complex engineering parts, such as EDM elec...

When, why and how to switch from die casting to CNC machining

When to choose CNC machining instead of castingIf you start with die casting, why choose to redesign your parts and use CNC machining instead? Although casting is more cost-effective for high-volume parts, CNC machining is the best choice for low to medium-volume parts.CNC machining can better meet ...

How to determine the material suitable for CNC machining?

The raw metal or plastic material used for the part is as important as the processing method of the part; choosing the wrong one may unnecessarily increase the cost of the part. For example, titanium, the darling of superalloys and aerospace, is difficult to machine, and parts made of it are almost ...

5 mistakes to avoid when designing machined parts

Upload the CAD model to our automatic quotation and design analysis engine, and our CNC machine will mill or process your parts in one day. However, for all the technologies that make it possible, the human factor is still crucial and is often the culprit for the recurring problems we see in cold fo...

6 ways to optimize the design of CNC machining parts

1. Hole depth and diameterIn most cases, the hole is interpolated with an end mill, rather than drilled. This machining method provides great flexibility in the hole size of a given tool and provides a better surface finish than a drill. It also allows us to use the same tools to machine grooves and...

Three quick tips for CNC tools and machining

When it comes to CNC machining, time is money. For low-volume production, part setup, programming, and machine running time often far exceed material costs.Understanding how the geometry of the part determines the machine tool required is an important part of minimizing the number of settings a mech...
