FAQ's

1. How Much Does CNC Machining Cost?

The cost of CNC machining a part is contingent on several factors, including:

1. Material: Different materials come with varying costs. Machining materials like Inconel are

pricier due to increased tool wear and slower cutting speeds compared to more economical

options like aluminum.

2. Complexity: Parts with intricate features incur higher machining costs. Complex surface

shapes, for example, contribute to increased expenses compared to simpler, flat surfaces.

3. Tolerances: Tight dimensional tolerance requirements contribute to elevated costs.

Needlessly specifying tight tolerances on non-critical features can increase CNC machining

expenses without added value.

4. Surface Finish: Achieving mirror finishes requires specialized tooling and strategies,

extending machining time and, subsequently, increasing costs.

5. Quantity: Low-volume production is inherently costlier per part due to the spreading of

initial setup and programming costs over a smaller quantity. Large-volume production offers

cost advantages as these setup costs are distributed over more parts.

2. Tolerance Specifications for Machined Parts

Our tolerances for machined parts are outlined below:

Local tolerances of +.005”/- .005” are applied across most geometries in metals,

while plastics have a tolerance variation of +/- 0.010". Tolerance specifications may vary for

large parts, especially concerning flatness after heat treatment.

For CNC parts with an "As Milled" finish, a minimum surface finish of 125 is required.

Fabricated parts adhere to a dimensional tolerance of 0.010” and an angular tolerance of 1°.

Tapped holes not explicitly identified as features on the quoted CAD model may be machined to

the diameters specified in that model.

Surface treatments (e.g., anodize, bead blast, iridite, powder coat, etc.) will not be applied unless

specifically paid for and acknowledged.

3. Advantages of CNC Machining:

Rapid Prototyping: CNC machining excels in rapid prototyping, facilitating quick iterations and

testing of designs.

Efficient Production: The ability to produce full-scale production parts rapidly contributes to the

efficiency of CNC machining.

Precision and Accuracy: CNC machining ensures a high level of precision and accuracy in

manufacturing, meeting tight tolerances for CNC parts of varying sizes.

Tight Tolerance Machining: CNC machining allows for tight tolerance machining, ensuring

consistent adherence to exact specifications.

Flexibility: CNC machining offers flexibility across production volume, pricing, lead times,

and the choice of materials and finishes, providing a versatile solution for manufacturing needs.
