In the realm of metal fabrication, milling stands out as the predominant method for material

removal. CNC milling machines, prized for their remarkable precision and accuracy, are frequently

employed in the cutting of various metals.

The outcome of milling varies based on factors like the type of material, its strength,

and hardness. Consequently, milling can yield diverse results and surface finishes. Certain metal

alloys, such as titanium, exhibit exceptional durability, enabling them to withstand even the

harshest environments.

Among the array of metal alloys suitable for milling are aluminum, copper, brass, zinc, bronze,

stainless steel, and standard steel. The process of metal milling encompasses shaping, cutting,

drilling, and tapping.

Product Details

Materials for CNC machining are typically classified into three major categories: plastics,

soft metals, and hard metals. Examples encompass aluminum, bronze, copper, ceramics,

plywood, steel, stone, wood, zinc, and various others.

Materials characterized by ease of manipulation and favorable properties are commonly

preferred over alternative options.

CNC Machining Tolerances

Tolerances are not standardized across all processes and materials.

The final tolerances on your part depend on various factors, such as part size, design complexity,

the number and size of features, materials used, surface finish, and the manufacturing process

employed.

Once your order is confirmed, we conduct a Design for Manufacturing review to identify areas that

may need modification for better manufacturability.

It's helpful if you can specify which areas in your design have critical tolerances that must be met

and which can be adjusted, if necessary, to optimize production time and cost.

How Can I Lower the Cost of My Machined Components?

Costs associated with CNC machining can be categorized into machining time, start-up expenses,

material expenditures, and feature-related costs. To effectively reduce overall costs, it is essential

to comprehend the influence of these factors on the final expense.

1. One of the most effective means to minimize machining time is through the strategic design of

features that can be machined swiftly. This entails making choices such as opting for appropriate

radii for internal corners, reducing cavity depth, increasing wall thicknesses, limiting thread lengths,

and designing holes with standard dimensions.

2. To curb material costs, thoughtful consideration should be given to the size of the initial blank

required and the cost-effectiveness and machinability of the base material. Softer alloys, for instance,

tend to be faster to machine.

3. Start-up costs can be mitigated by minimizing the number of part rotations or repositioning steps

needed to complete the component. This can be achieved by dividing complex geometries into

multiple parts that can be subsequently assembled.

4. In terms of feature costs, it is prudent to employ tolerances only when absolutely necessary,

eliminate all text and lettering, and steer clear of multiple surface finishes whenever possible.

These measures collectively contribute to cost reduction in CNC machining projects.
