Secondary machining after CNC machining: heat treatment

When you finish CNC machining a CNC turned parts, your job isn't done. These raw components may have unsightly surfaces, may not be strong enough, or are just part of one component that must be joined with other components to form a complete product. After all, how often do you use a device made up ...

CNC part tolerances every designer needs to know

Tolerance is the acceptable range of dimensions determined by the designer according to the shape, fit and function of the part. Understanding how CNC machining tolerances affect costs, manufacturing process selection, inspection options, and materials can help you better determine product design.1....

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...
