Should I Use Blind Holes or Through Holes in My CNC Design?

Choosing between blind holes and through holes isn’t just about geometry — it’s about balancing cost, functionality, and manufacturability. After machining thousands of precision parts for aerospace, medical, and audio applications, we’ve seen how this single design decision can impact everything from production cost to assembly complexity. Use blind holes when you need hidden fasteners, […]

When should I use wire cut EDM instead of CNC machining?

In manufacturing, precision is vital. The ability to shape and cut materials with high accuracy can be the difference between a successful product and a costly mistake. One technology that has revolutionized precision machining is Wire Cut Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM). But what exactly is Wire Cut EDM, and how does it work? Let’s dive in and find out.

Should You Bore or Ream That Precision Hole?

In CNC Machining, one of the processes that exemplify this need for precision in precision manufacturing is the boring machining process. Boring is a method of enlarging a hole that already exists or cast using a single-point cutting tool. It is a crucial process in manufacturing, used to achieve greater accuracy of the diameter of a hole.

How to avoid deformation in CNC machining?

Aluminum is susceptible to deformation during CNC machining. With proper experience and techniques, you might find a product that meets your specifications. We’ll look at choosing the appropriate tooling, adjusting cutting speeds and feeds appropriately, and taking steps to ensure proper chip evacuation.
