Professional Prototype Machining: A Comprehensive Guide from Concept to Realization In today’s rapidly evolving manufacturing industry, the swift development and validation of product prototypes have become increasingly crucial. Prototype machining, a method that swiftly transforms design concepts into tangible models, has become an indispensable part of the product development process. This article delves into various
Advantages of CNC Machining Prototypes and 3D Printing Prototypes From a real-life experience shared by one of our project managers, who has been frequently asked by clients throughout the year: “Would the cost be lower if we use 3D printing for this item?” Generally, 3D printing tends to be more cost-effective, with quicker turnaround times.
Dealing with Surface Blackening in CNC Machined Aluminum Alloy 1. Causes of Deformation in Aluminum Alloy Parts Processing (1)Deformation due to internal stress in the blank. (2)Deformation caused by cutting forces and heat during machining. (3)Deformation caused by clamping forces. 2. Technological Measures to Reduce CNC Parts Processing Deformation (1)Reducing Internal Stress in Blanks: Use
The difference between 3D printing and CNC machining 1. Differences in materials The main materials for 3D printing include liquid resin (SLA), nylon powder (SLS), metal powder (SLM), gypsum powder (full-color printing), sandstone powder (full-color printing), wire (DFM), and sheet (LOM) etc. Liquid resin, nylon powder and metal powder occupy the vast majority of the
About Prototype Preface We discussed the prototype in the previous issue, and we will talk about it again in this issue, mainly focusing on the mainstream prototype processing technology on the market. Why is there a prototype? In the process of designing industrial products, after the designer has completed the design drawings, one of
How to improve the precision of CNC lathe processing The emergence of CNC lathes is a major advancement in the industry. It can better solve the processing problems of complex, precise, small batches and changeable parts. It is a flexible and efficient automatic machine tool. When machining with a CNC machine, a process analysis
It is an ordinary afternoon, and the 2fprototypes factory was busy with Rapid Manufacturing production as always. Surprisingly, today is a bit different… All of engineers of 2fprototypes are busy packing, loading and shipping for a customer from the UK. This is a CNC machining project in units of years. First of all, thank you
