Custom CNC milling offers manufacturers the ability to swiftly create CNC prototypes and robust

machined components for diverse applications. When choosing materials for CNC machining,

it's essential to note that only stainless steel provides corrosion resistance.

For lightweight products, consider low-density metals such as aluminum, beryllium, titanium,

and magnesium alloys.

CNC milling machines excel at producing highly accurate and precise prototypes quickly and

efficiently, making them an ideal choice for product development. By utilizing computer-aided

design (CAD) software to generate a 3D model of the prototype, CNC milling machines can then

fabricate a physical representation of that prototype.

This enables designers to create and evaluate a single prototype to refine and perfect their

design before proceeding to mass production.

Materials and alloys capable of withstanding high machining temperatures encompass titanium,

stainless steel, nickel, and tantalum. Lastly, it's crucial to consider material costs for custom

CNC milling projects, as these costs impact the overall project expenses.

Product Details

CNC machining materials are generally grouped into three primary categories: plastics, soft metals,

and hard metals. This classification includes materials such as aluminum, bronze, copper, ceramics,

plywood, steel, stone, wood, zinc, and various others.

Preference is often given to materials that are considered easy to work with and possess

advantageous properties compared to alternative options.

CNC Machining Tolerances

Tolerances are not standardized across all processes and materials.

The final tolerances on your part depend on various factors, such as part size, design complexity,

the number and size of features, materials used, surface finish, and the manufacturing process

employed.

Once your order is confirmed, we conduct a Design for Manufacturing review to identify areas that

may need modification for better manufacturability.

It's helpful if you can specify which areas in your design have critical tolerances that must be met

and which can be adjusted, if necessary, to optimize production time and cost.

FAQ's

1. Understanding CNC Machining Costs:

The cost of CNC machining is determined by factors such as complexity, quantity, and lead time.

To obtain an accurate cost estimate, we recommend submitting a 3D CAD model.

This allows us to provide an interactive quote and offer design for manufacturability (DFM)

feedback. Notably, our use of proprietary software and automated fixturing processes eliminates

upfront non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs.

This approach ensures that even for quantities as low as 1 to 200 parts, CNC machining remains

a cost-effective option. While prices may be comparable to or slightly higher than 3D printing,

CNC machining provides enhanced material properties and surface finishes, making it a valuable

choice.

2. CNC Machining Parameters: A Brief Overview

Machining parameters in CNC are primarily established by the machine operator during the

generation of G-code. Key parameters include the build size and accuracy of CNC machines,

distinguishing them notably from 3D printers.

CNC milling systems boast a substantial build area, with the capability to machine parts up to

2,000 x 800 x 100 mm (78” x 32” x 40”). Meanwhile, CNC turning sys

tems specialize in machining parts with a diameter of up to Ø 500 mm (Ø 20’’).

Precision and tight tolerances are hallmarks of CNC machining. Achieving accuracy levels

surpassing half the diameter of an average human hair (± 0.025 mm or .001’’) is well within

the capabilities of CNC machines. In the absence of specified tolerances in the technical drawing,

operators typically machine parts with an accuracy of 0.125 mm (.005’’).

3. Surface Texture in CNC Milled and Turned Parts

In the realm of CNC machining, the general surface texture of as-machined milled parts typically

exhibits a roughness of approximately 3.2μm (1.6μm for relatively new machines). On the other

hand, turned parts can achieve a finer surface with a roughness of 0.8μm. Notably, this level of

surface quality is attained without the need to adjust the machining speed.
