Stainless Steel

CNC machining is a subtractive manufacturing process, meaning it achieves its final product

by removing material. It involves tasks like drilling holes, creating slots and pathways, and

shaping metal stock into different forms with varying dimensions and designs.

Unlike additive manufacturing, which builds up materials layer by layer, CNC machining

subtracts material to create shapes. It also differs from injection molding, where material

is injected into a mold to form a specific shape.

CNC machining is highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of materials, including

metals, plastics, wood, glass, foam, and composites. This versatility has made CNC machining

a popular choice in various industries, offering efficient and precise fabrication for designers

and engineers.

Product Details

CNC machining can be used for a wide variety of materials, with the most common being

aluminum, steel, brass, ABS, Delrin, and nylon.

But really, almost any hard material can be CNC machined.

Post-processing and surface finishes for CNC machining

CNC-machined parts as they emerge from the machine often exhibit visible tool marks, a feature

that may not align with your specific part requirements.

Fortunately, there exists a multitude of post-processing techniques aimed at enhancing the surface

appearance and elevating attributes such as wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and chemical

resistance.

Methods like anodizing, bead blasting, and powder coating present viable options for refining the

final presentation of your custom parts, allowing you to achieve the desired surface quality and

performance characteristics.

Applications of CNC Machining

CNC machining finds extensive applications across various industries.

It is prevalent in aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics, robotics, agriculture,

and numerous sectors that heavily rely on metal components.

Furthermore, CNC machining is widely employed in the medical device industry, household

products manufacturing, energy sector, oil and gas industry, and various consumer-oriented

applications. It stands as one of the most prevalent and versatile manufacturing processes globally.

FAQ's

1. Cost of CNC Machining

The cost of CNC machining a part can vary based on several factors, including:

1. Material: The choice of material affects the cost, with some materials being more expensive

to machine due to tool wear and cutting speeds.

2. Complexity: Parts with complex features are more costly to machine compared to simpler

designs.

3. Tolerances: Tight dimensional tolerances increase machining costs, so it's essential to specify

them only when necessary.

4. Surface Finish: Achieving mirror finishes requires specialized tools and strategies, which can

add to the overall cost.

5. Quantity: Low-volume production tends to be more expensive per part than large-volume

production due to setup and programming costs.

2. What are your tolerances for machined parts?

Our tolerances for machined parts are typically within +0.005"/-0.005" for most metal

geometries, and within +/- 0.010" for plastics.

However, tolerances may vary for larger parts, especially when maintaining flatness over

extensive sections post-heat treatment.

Regarding the finish requirements, an "As Milled" finish should have a minimum of 125

surface finish for CNC parts.

For all fabricated parts, there is a dimensional tolerance of 0.010" and an angular tolerance of 1°.

Please note that tapped holes not explicitly indicated as features in the provided CAD model may

be machined to the specified diameters in that model.

Additionally, surface treatments like anodizing, bead blasting, iriditing, powder coating, etc.,

will only be applied if they have been paid for and explicitly acknowledged in advance.

3. How long does delivery time and quotation take?

Our delivery time and quotation process are influenced by the complexity of your project.

For low-complexity parts, expect a lead time of 2-3 days. As complexity increases, the lead

time can range from 2-5 days. High-complexity parts may require a lead time of 5-15 days.

Quotation turnaround time varies based on complexity as well. For straightforward designs,

we can provide a quote within 1 business day or even faster. However, for more intricate projects,

the quoting process may take 3 or more business days.

If you have a design that needs assessment and a quote from our team, please don't hesitate to
