CNC process selection starts with the part. Features, part shape, 材料, critical dimensions, surface requirements, 数量, and inspection criteria all affect the recommended approach.
CNC milling is commonly considered for prismatic parts and components with machined faces, 腔体, 槽, 孔, profiles, and features at different orientations.
CNC turning is commonly considered for round or rotational parts such as shafts, pins, bushings, sleeves, and components with concentric diameters.
We provide 5-axis CNC machining for projects that require evaluation of complex geometry or features across multiple faces. 工具可达性, 工件固定, datum strategy, tolerance relationships, and inspection needs determine the route.
We provide Swiss turning services for suitable turned-part requirements. Share the material, part length and diameters, 关键特征, 数量, 公差, and acceptance criteria for a complete review.
Material condition and finishing requirements can change cutting strategy, stability, dimensional allowance, protected areas, and the point at which a feature is accepted.
Metals: aluminum, stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, copper, bronze, and titanium.
Engineering plastics: POM / acetal, nylon, polycarbonate, ABS, PTFE, and PMMA / acrylic.
Define the grade, temper or condition, certification requirements, and substitution restrictions. Specific grades and suitability are reviewed for each project.
Options can include anodizing, hard anodizing, chemical conversion coating, blasting, 抛光, brushing, passivation, 电镀, powder coating, painting, and heat treatment.
Specify color, texture, coating standard, masking areas, appearance criteria, and any threads, fits, contact areas, 密封面, or cosmetic faces that need protection.
The most important machining questions often sit between dimensions. Clear functional relationships help the machining and inspection plans work from the same requirement.
Identify functional datums and features that must be controlled in the same setup. Flag thin walls, deep pockets, long overhangs, interrupted cuts, small internal radii, and surfaces that require protection.
General CNC machining tolerance is ±0.01 mm. Actual achievable tolerances depend on geometry, 材料, 工艺, feature relationships, and inspection method. Final requirements are confirmed against the drawing and order.
Apply tighter controls where fit, 运动, sealing, 对齐, or assembly requires them. Show shared datums and cross-setup relationships clearly so they can be reviewed together.
Inspection planning should follow the features that drive machining decisions. 位置关系, 同心直径, 配合面, 螺纹, 以及已完成的界面可能各自需要不同的验证方法.
如果阳极氧化, 电镀, 热处理, 或其他二次工艺改变了特征, 定义验收是在加工前还是加工后进行.
随着项目从首件到重复数量，相同的几何形状可能需要不同的计划优先级.
订单可以从单件开始. 审核集中在几何形状, 材料, 配合, 和功能特征. 在开始时说明原型是否必须代表生产材料或加工完成状态.
我们的目标是在 24 小时内为所有原型项目提供报价. 实际报价时间表将在审核零件复杂性等因素后确定, 数量, 以及加工要求, 我们会提前告知预计时间.
For repeat quantities, process planning also considers setup consistency, inspection frequency, finishing flow, and features that affect repeatability.
Use these questions to prepare a clearer drawing package and choose the right process review.
从主要几何形状开始. Parts defined mainly by faces, 腔体, 槽, 孔, and profiles are commonly evaluated for milling. Parts defined mainly by concentric diameters, 孔径, 肩部, 槽, and threads are commonly evaluated for turning. Mixed geometry may call for secondary operations or a combined route.
Consider a 5-axis review when important features sit across multiple faces, tool access is restricted, or datum relationships become difficult to maintain through repeated repositioning. The route is selected only when it supports the geometry, 工件固定, tolerance relationships, 以及检验计划.
Swiss turning can suit small or slender rotational parts whose length-to-diameter relationship, feature layout, 数量, and tolerance requirements support that process. Secondary features, material behavior, and inspection access can change the preferred route.
Datums define how critical features relate to one another. When related features are split across setups, the machining and inspection plan must account for how those relationships will be maintained and verified.
Yes. Finishing can affect masking, 边缘状态, dimensional allowance, surface appearance, and the stage at which a feature is accepted. Specify the finish, 受控表面, 外观标准, 以及尺寸是应用于加工前还是加工后.
Send your drawing, model, material specification, 数量, critical requirements, 表面处理, 以及检验标准. We will evaluate the project and prepare a quotation based on the available information.
