About Project
CNC milling is still one of the most popular technologies for machining engineering metal parts.
CNC machining offers distinct benefits like pinpoint precision 鈥 just a few micrometers on every axis 鈥 which in turn has implications for achieving a superior surface finish without the need for supplementary processing.
When it comes to tolerances, CNC machining will also typically outperform 3D printing as a 鈥榟eat and reform鈥 process isn鈥檛 required. Additionally, CNC machining is great for heavy-duty (literally heavy materials) end-use parts.
Solution
- Step 1: The CAD model was examined and transformed into a CNC-compatible format with the software AutoCAD.
- Step 2: A most suitable type of CNC machine was chosen according to the complexity of the product design and the cost of the workpiece.
- Step 3: Certain operations were configured and the G-codes were input on the machine. The workpiece was mounted on the machine as well.
- Step 4: The workpiece got shaped and the holes were drilled automatically. It would be inspected during and after the machining process for quality assurance.
