CNC machining is widely used in manufacturing complex shape, high precision components. The machining list by CNC includes:
1. Enclosure Machining(Case Accessories)
Enclosure usually has many cavities inside, which is designed as container to carry complex components in industry such as automobile industry and aviation industry. Automobile engine cylinder, Gearbox, Machine tool main Axle Box, Diesel engine cylinder, Gear pump Shell, are some representatives of enclosure.
2. Parts with Complex Curved Surfaces
As the weight or other special requirements, for some industries, their designer dedicated to make their product small and delicate, which the components usually come out with complex curved surfaces. These surfaces would be difficult to machine in the past, but now, they are easy to achieve by CNC technique.
3. Irregular Shape Parts
Irregular shape part always combines most point, line, surface multi-station mix machining. To this kind of parts, CNC machining shows its great advantages.
4. Prototype Sample
We can manufacture not only large volume customized parts by CNC machining but also small volume or prototype sample. Benefits from CNC machining, we can get a real prototype sample to verify the design.
Factors Bears on the Cost of CNC Parts
Are you looking for CNC machining company to manufacture your part? Are you estimating the cost of your parts? Are you thinking the way to cut down the CNC machining cost? Here, we are going to talk about the 4 factors which bear on the cost of CNC parts.
1. Machining Time: Machining time is often the main cost driver in the CNC Machining Service. Typically, the longer machining time usually brings higher manufacturing cost.
2. Demanded Quantity: The volume significant bears on the part costs. The more volume is an opportunity to reduce the unit price.
3. Material Cost: The selection of bulk material greatly affects on the overall part cost. Optimizing your design, while selecting the best economy material without affect the product's application, this is a good solution to cut down costs.
4. Other Manufacturing Cost: If your part have special requirement such as tight tolerance, high glossy, thin walls etc, all these will enhance the machining difficulties, which leads to the higher CNC machining costs.
