Steel Milling Parts

CNC machining is a process involving different types of machines, all utilizing computer-controlled

tools to precisely remove material from a workpiece. The advantage of this computerized control

is that CNC machining offers significantly increased speed, precision, and accuracy compared to

traditional machining methods.

Product Details

CNC machines are employed across a diverse range of materials, each having its optimal set of

machining parameters (speeds and feeds) for successful processing.

The most prevalent materials include:

1. Metal:
Metal stands out as the most frequently utilized material in CNC machining. CNC machines have

the capability to cut nearly any type of metal, from free-machining brass to high-performance

nickel superalloys like Inconel. Metal machining caters to various applications, ranging from injection

molds to the production of shafts and gears.

2. Plastic:
Although the majority of plastic parts are manufactured through injection molding, CNC machining

finds application in producing specific plastic components. Common materials include ABS

(acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), nylon, and polycarbonate. Plastic machining applications encompass

valve bodies, bushings, and the creation of injection molding prototypes to assess the overall

functionality before investing in costly molding tools.

3. Wood:
CNC routers are predominantly used for wood cutting and are generally more cost-effective than

standard metal-cutting CNC machines. Wood CNC machining is commonly employed for decorative

purposes, with applications such as furniture, window frames, and ornamental panels.

4. Foam:
Polyurethane foam, whether closed or open-cell, is frequently employed in CNC machining applications.

CNC routers can cut foam blocks to create secure packaging for high-value products.

An example is the use of foam in toolboxes to ensure the tools remain secure during transportation.

5. Composites:
CNC machines are regularly employed in processing composite parts. Composites may include

materials like aramid, fiberglass, or carbon fiber, which are highly abrasive to cutting tools.

Aerospace and marine composite components undergo machining for tasks such as adding fastener

holes and general trimming after the molding process.

CNC Machining Applications

CNC milling machines offer unparalleled capabilities, enabling the creation of intricate designs

with exceptional precision. This accuracy makes CNC milling one of the most advanced

manufacturing techniques. Here's a glimpse into the diverse range of parts that can be

crafted using CNC milling machines:

stringent requirements of the medical industry for quality and accuracy.

5. Oil and Gas Machine Parts: Manufacturing critical parts like valves, rods, and pins for the oil

and gas sector, ensuring durability and performance in challenging environments.

6. Prototyping and Modeling: Rapid prototyping and modeling for product development, allowing for

the efficient testing and refinement of designs.

7. Sculptures: Artistic creations and sculptures, showcasing the versatility of CNC milling in

transforming digital designs into tangible forms.

8. Furniture: Crafting precise components for furniture, ensuring quality and consistency in the

production of intricate designs.

9. Woodworking: Precision woodworking, enabling the creation of detailed and finely finished

wooden components.

The adaptability of CNC milling machines spans a broad spectrum of industries, making them

indispensable in the manufacturing of parts that demand both intricacy and accuracy.

FAQ's

1. How much does CNC machining cost?

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

To obtain a precise cost estimate, we encourage you to submit a 3D CAD model, enabling us to

provide an interactive quote accompanied by design for manufacturability (DFM) feedback.

Our use of proprietary software and automated fixturing processes eliminates upfront

non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs, making CNC machining a cost-effective choice for quantities

as low as 1 to 200 parts. While prices may be comparable or slightly higher than 3D printing,

CNC machining delivers superior material properties and surface finishes.

2. Why choose CNC machining?

The decision to leverage CNC machining is driven by its attributes of speed, accuracy, and

versatility. This manufacturing solution excels in delivering end-use parts across different volumes

with notable efficiency, eliminating the need for substantial investments in hard tooling or intricate

set-ups.

3. How long does a quotation take?

Under normal circumstances, we endeavor to respond to Requests for Quotation (RFQ) within a

couple of days from the time of submission. Should there be any unforeseen delays in the quotation

process, we commit to informing you as soon as possible.

4. How does compare to other suppliers on price?

Unlike Chinese suppliers who often compete on price, We chooses a different approach. While our

prices may not be the lowest, we prioritize delivering the highest levels of quality, rapid response,

and professional results, setting us apart in the market.
