Understanding CNC Machining
CNC machining stands for Computer Numerical Control machining, a method where computer-controlled machine tools precisely remove material from a workpiece. This computerized control results in faster, more precise, and accurate machining compared to conventional methods.
At Baranar Rapid, we utilize advanced equipment to provide a wide range of CNC machining services, including milling, turning, EDM, wire EDM, surface grinding, and more. Our imported 3, 4, and 5-axis CNC machining centers, operated by skilled machinists, can produce turned and milled parts using various plastic and metal materials. Additionally, our robust supply chain allows us to scale according to project requirements.
Applications of CNC Machining
Our precision CNC machining services are employed in producing complex finished parts, components, and tools for plastic injection molding or pressure die casting. Additionally, CNC manufacturing is utilized for secondary operations such as drilling, tapping, and milling on machined parts or components from other processes. Among CNC machine tools, CNC mills are the most common and versatile multi-axis machines used in our daily operations at Baranar Rapid.
What Are the Different Types of Rapid Prototyping?
Prototypes can range from simple to complex, depending on how accurately they need to represent the intended final product. Low-fidelity prototypes may be crafted from basic materials like paper, plastic, modeling clay, styrofoam, or balsa wood. These models are inexpensive and quick to produce, serving primarily to provide a visual concept of the design and to facilitate size comparisons with other components.
