Raw Materials for CNC Machining
Raw materials for CNC machining are chosen based on many factors. The machining process requires a level of accuracy and finish to fit a specific application or fit in a larger part. That can make selecting your raw material a difficult decision.
Machining Plastic Parts
Machining Plastics Parts can be injection-molded, cast, printed, or machined. Molding is most often used for high-volume part production.
Cutting Approaches
Cutting approaches can bring to mind a few different options when considering how to raw material but, typically, refer to the feeds and speeds of CNC programming to achieve the precision cut.
Micromachining
Recent manufacturing trends are turning the phrase, “the bigger the better,” on its ear. Micromachining takes advantage of the high precision, speed, and repeatability of CNC machining to create intricate components smaller than the human eye can appreciate
