CNC (Computer Numerical Control) is the advanced industrial equipment pre-programmed to meet different machining requirements. These machines produce a precise output based on the specifications of the work piece. There are various kinds of CNC machines used today. One of them is CNC turning machine

Do you know that a wide range of daily used objects are produced by CNC machines? The machining technique is known as CNC machining. Precision CNC machining is a procedure that employs advanced software such as Computer Aided Design (CAD), and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM). With the help of th

The term “5 axis” usually refers to the ability of a CNC machine to move a tool in five directions.  In 5 axis machines, the centers are capable of rotating on two additional axes, namely A and B. With the help of 5 axis machining technique, it becomes easier to move a tool or a part along 5 differ

Sheet metals are used in countless everyday objects including cars, planes, building roofs, for equestrian purposes, and more. This suggests that sheet metal has become a backbone of the modern day applications. The reliability of a product depends on the quality of sheet metal used. This means the

Today, very often we hear the term “sheet metal”, which is nothing but metal rolled into thin sheets. Various products, such as automobile bodies, furnaces, gutters, roofing, and air conditioners are created using sheet metal. These products are created by punching, cutting, bending, or

Design for Manufacturability, commonly abbreviated as DFM is the term synonymous with the design of products in such a way that they are easy to manufacture. In the previous post, we have discussed tips for DFM of sheet metal. In this post, we will discuss tolerance, and quick tips for designing ot

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a controlled metal-removal process, having two electrodes (one being the work piece) separated by a dielectric liquid that is used to remove metal by means of electric spark erosion. The electric spark is used as a cutting tool to cut the work piece to produc

Milling and turning operations were always in demand, since the beginning of metalworking. Earlier, they were performed using two separate machines. However, today, these tasks are performed through a single multitasking equipment. What is turning and milling technology? How a single milling and tu

Today, American customers are slowly warming up to the idea of “Made in the USA” concept. What does it mean? From 1940’s through 1960’s, America was a lead player in the manufacturing sector. In 1960’s, only 10% of goods were imported into America. Over the years, Amer

This year, BDE Manufacturing Technologies (BDE) celebrated the Manufacturing Day by opening its doors to local high school students. These students are enrolled in pre-engineering and machine tool courses. Are you interested to know about the importance of the Manufacturing Day? Or the highlights o

A machine shop is a place where different types of machine tools and cutting tools are used for machining. However, placing an order for products with a machine shop is an intricate process. When you plan to buy products or parts from any machine shop, you should be very alert and take into account

Most of us know that casting is a manufacturing process in which a molten material is poured into a mold to acquire the desired shape. Upon solidifying, the part is removed from the mold. This part is also referred to as a casting. Various materials can be used in the casting process to create diff

There are certain technical terms that we use, however, do not know their exact meaning, or why are they used. Consider CNC machining. There are so many technical terms associated with the specifications and capabilities of the CNC machining. Do you know the meaning of each and every term? Probably

Manufacturing is an important factor in success and progress in various industries. However, these manufacturing needs aren’t the same in every industry. There are several manufacturing techniques for an industry. This means a customer may get confused about the appropriate selection. This post enl

As we look forward to 2018, now is a right moment to honor all relationships and good things that helped us grow in 2017.  We know you might be busy with decorations at home or office, countless to-do’s, and party preparations. Here at BDE, Inc., we are working on a variety of projects, which need

Manufacturing techniques are constantly evolving in various industries. OEM’s in these industries are constantly working hard to improve their competitiveness and productivity. In the previous post, we have seen some popular manufacturing processes adopted by manufacturers in the automotive, medica

CNC machining is not a new technology, but 3D printing is. Over the years, 3D printed objects have gained popularity among technology addicts and novices. This new technology has a lot to offer and is making its presence felt in various production environments. All this doesn’t mean that CNC machin

Precision CNC machining has made a great impact on most industries. Many people are ignorant of the fact that precision machining is already part of their lives. Today, businesses realize that they can only survive in the changing environment if they adopt technical advances. What are the different

CNC-milling machine tools are used to shape metals and other solid materials to desired specifications. Computers aided programs to control and drive these machine tools. They are known for their wide range of cutting abilities, which allow conducting several complicated operations such as indexin

In the last post, we have discussed the required skills and responsibilities of the management and design team of a CNC milling service provider. As a continuation, we will now discuss the other major departments and their roles and responsibilities.  • Planning: Good planning determines succ
