In traditional machining, a skilled machinist manually operates a machine to remove or shape

metal based on specifications provided by designers and engineers, typically conveyed through

an engineering drawing or blueprint.

This process involves the use of turn wheels, dials, switches, chucks, vices, and various cutting

tools made of materials such as hardened steel, carbide, and industrial diamond.

Measurement instruments are then utilized to ensure the accuracy of all dimensions.

In contrast to this manual approach, CNC machining performs the same metal cutting, drilling,

milling, boring, grinding, and other metal forming and removal functions, but it relies on computer

numerical control instead of manual operation by a machinist.

It is automated, driven by code, and developed by programmers, offering precision consistently

from the first cut to the 500th. While traditional machining still has a place, CNC machining,

prevalent in digital manufacturing and low-volume production, allows for easy revisions and

alterations for modifications and different materials.

FAQ's

1. How much do CNC machining materials cost?

The diverse range of materials available for CNC machining introduces variability in costs,

influenced by both the specific material properties and overall characteristics. When opting for

metal parts, Aluminum 6061 emerges as a cost-effective choice.

For budget-conscious projects, ABS stands out as the most economical option. It's essential to

note that machining difficulty plays a crucial role in cost determination.

Materials like stainless steel, being harder than aluminum, pose greater machining challenges,

leading to an escalation in overall costs.

2. The cost of CNC machining a part is contingent on various factors, including:

1. Material: The choice of material impacts costs, with some materials, like aluminum, being

more cost-effective to machine than others such as Inconel, due to considerations like tool wear

and cutting speeds.

2. Complexity: Parts with intricate features tend to be more expensive to machine. The complexity

of surface shapes, for example, directly influences machining costs.

3. Tolerances: Tighter dimensional tolerances increase the cost of CNC machining. It's crucial to

balance precision requirements with cost considerations to optimize overall expenses.

4. Surface Finish: Attaining mirror finishes necessitates specialized tools and machining strategies,

contributing to increased machining time and associated costs.

5. Quantity: The production volume plays a significant role in cost considerations. Low-volume

production tends to be more expensive per part, as initial setup and programming costs are

amortized over a smaller number of parts.

3. What are your tolerances for machined parts?

Our standards for machined parts encompass +.005”/- .005” local tolerances across most metal

geometries and +/- 0.010" for plastics. Notably, these tolerances may vary for larger parts,

particularly concerning flatness after heat treatment.

Achieving an "As Milled" finish for CNC parts necessitates a minimum surface finish of 125.

Fabricated parts adhere to a 0.010” dimensional tolerance and a 1° angular tolerance.

Tapped holes not explicitly marked as features in the CAD model may be machined according

to the specified diameters.

Importantly, surface treatments, including anodization, bead blasting, iriditing, powder coating,

etc., will only be applied if explicitly paid for and acknowledged.
