Custom CNC Machined Parts Service Lathe CNC Milling Stainless Steel 304 Parts

CNC machining operates on subtractive processes, where the feedstock is machined to its final form

through the removal of material. This includes activities such as drilling holes, boring lots and

pathways, and shaping metal stock into new material with varying tapers, diameters, and shapes.

In contrast to additive manufacturing methods that involve the addition, layering, and deformation

of materials to achieve a specified shape, CNC machining achieves shapes by subtracting material.

This distinction also separates it from injection molding, where material is injected in a different state

of matter using a mold and formed to a specified shape.

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.

Company Profile

FAQ's

1. What tolerances can achieve?

Tolerances are not universally defined and vary based on factors such as part size, design geometry,

the number and size of features, material selection, surface finish, and the manufacturing process.

After order confirmation, we conduct a comprehensive Design for Manufacturing review to identify

areas for potential modification to enhance manufacturability. It is advantageous if you can specify

critical tolerance areas in your design, allowing for adjustments to optimize production time and costs.

General tolerance guidelines are provided for CNC machining in metal and plastic, plastic injection

molding, CNC metals and plastic injection molding materials, metal 3D printing (+/- 0.5mm), and an

expected shrinkage rate of +/- 0.15% for vacuum casting. Clear specifications in the 2D drawings are

essential for precise adherence to manufacturing and technical requirements.

2. How does you ensure the quality of my parts?

After order confirmation, we conduct a thorough Design for Manufacturing (DFM) review to pinpoint

any potential issues that could affect part quality. Incoming materials undergo rigorous inspection

and verification using advanced testing equipment.

Final inspection reports are generated before shipment. Moreover, we provide the capability to share

inspection data in real-time, allowing us to collaborate on addressing any quality concerns that may

arise during the production process.

3. What type of surface finishes does provide?

Our services encompass a wide array of finishing options to attain the desired appearance and texture

for your parts. We offer treatments for metal, texturing specifically for plastic injection mold tools, and

painting for both metal and plastic, among other choices. Discover more about specifying your preferred

surface texture in our blog.

4. Can passivate my parts?

Passivation is a surface treatment that modifies the chemistry of specific metals. Our services include

passivation for purposes such as corrosion protection, increased durability, and enhanced cosmetic

appearance.
