CAD or computer-aided design is the process of creating 2D or 3D models of product parts. It is usually used for engineering digital models. There are many CAD file packages and file formats available, but if you want to generate CAD files for CNC machining, which one should you use File format?

Stainless steel is widely used because of its corrosion resistance. There are many grades of stainless steel, and their formability, strength and workability are different. Grade 304 stainless steel, also known as A2 stainless steel, contains 18% to 20% chromium and 8% to 10% nickel. Grade 316 s

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a material removal or manufacturing technique. It was first introduced in 1770 by Joseph Priestly. However, with the modernization of technology and equipment, this technology is now integrated with computer numerical control (CNC). The EDM process involve

In the process of CNC machining parts, in addition to sharp corners (which are regular geometric figures between two connected surfaces or vertices), you can also choose to design the corners as chamfers or fillets. Understanding the difference between these two phenomena is actually a basic fac

CNC milling processing has a very important position in the machining industry, so what are its characteristics, and what types of parts are suitable for CNC milling processing? Features of CNC milling 1. Flexible And Versatile CNC milling machines and machining centers are suitable for th

In the machining of precision parts, after many parts are processed by precision equipment, there are always some “unsatisfactory” places. Obviously, they are the best processing masters and the best processing equipment. It was confirmed on the machine that everything was so perfect

In recent years, people’s requirements for metal precision machining parts have become higher and higher. While people are pursuing quality, they are also pursuing aesthetics. Therefore, the surface treatment of metal precision machined parts is indispensable. No matter what material it is

Under the condition of rigidity permitting, a larger depth of cut is used for rough machining to reduce the number of passes and increase the productivity of the workpiece. Generally, a smaller depth of cut is used for finishing to obtain a higher surface quality. Influencing the final processin

3 Methods Of Thread Machining On CNC Machining Center Everyone has an in-depth understanding of the benefits of using a CNC machining center to process workpieces. Today, I will share with you the thread processing methods. There are 3 methods for thread machining by CNC machining cent

CNC machining has a very high position in CNC equipment. Many parts processing companies will apply CNC machining centers. So what types of parts can CNC machining process? As we all know, CNC machining centers are suitable for machining parts that are complex, have many procedures, are more dem

Many engineers may know that CNC machining is the most commonly used method in prototype manufacturing due to its speed and versatility. However, certain decisions may add preventable costs to your parts. So this article will talk about ways to reduce the cost of CNC prototype manufacturing. Lis

In the CNC machining process, cooling is essential. Coolant has many uses to ensure that the machine runs efficiently and accurately. Using the correct type of CNC coolant during milling, grinding or turning can prevent overheating and extend tool life. If you do aluminum machining wit

The ideal physical properties and excellent workability of aluminum make it one of the most popular metal choices for product designers. However, even if you have designed aluminum parts or parts, you don’t want to keep making these parts without building a prototype. Aluminum is the most

CNC engraving machine is good at fine machining of small tools, with the ability of milling, grinding, drilling and high-speed tapping. It is widely used in 3C industry, mold industry, medical industry and other fields. This article collects 11 common questions about CNC engraving machining

The manufacturability analysis of CNC machined parts mainly includes three parts: part drawing analysis of the product, structural manufacturability analysis and part accuracy and technical requirements analysis. (1) Part Drawing Analysis ①The dimensioning method on the part drawing should be ad

CNC machining is essentially a subtractive technology for manufacturing prototypes and parts. This means that its operation will result in the removal of material. We can use this process on a range of materials, such as metals and plastics. CNC turning and milling are different from other produ

Thread milling cutters have many advantages, which are more advantageous than wire taps. Thread milling cutters are more than ten times faster than wire taps and have high precision. The surface roughness is good, and the same pitch can be used to process the large and small holes with a knife.

Since CNC machining is a subtractive manufacturing method, there is a huge demand for threaded holes in CNC machined parts. Therefore, thread milling or tapping must be used to cut threaded holes in the part. There are some obvious differences between thread milling and tapping. This article exp

The CNC machining quality is stable, the machining accuracy is high, and the repeat accuracy is high. Under the conditions of multi-variety and small batch production, CNC machining has high production efficiency, which can reduce the time of production preparation, machine tool adjustment and p

Machining error refers to the degree of deviation between the actual geometric parameters (geometric size, geometric shape and mutual position) of the parts after machining and the ideal geometric parameters. The degree of agreement between the actual geometric parameters and the ideal geometric
