14 Proven Design Tips to Reduce the Cost of CNC Machining

14 Proven Design Tips to Reduce the Cost of CNC Machining

GuideCNC machining is a versatile and precise manufacturing process, but it can also be expensive. The good news is that there are several design strategies you can employ to significantly reduce the cost of your CNC machined parts without sacrificing quality. Here are 14 proven tips to help you optimize your designs for cost-effective CNC machining:

Robot joint parts

Robot joint parts

RoboticsThe application of aluminum alloy in robotic joints is extensive, primarily benefiting from its lightweight nature, high strength, wear resistance, and excellent processing properties.

Cosmetic standards

Help CenterIn CNC machining, surface treatment standards are established to ensure that parts meet specific functional, aesthetic, or durability requirements. Below are some common surface treatment standards and their applications

Acetal Copolymer (POM-C)

Acetal Copolymer (POM-C)

POM (Delrin/Acetal)Acetal (POM-C) is the easiest to machine engineering plastic. Ideal for parts with high stiffness, low friction and very low water absorption.

Brass C38500 | 2.0401 | CuZn39Pb3

Brass C38500 | 2.0401 | CuZn39Pb3

BrassBrass C38500 (CNC) is a highly machinable alloy with good tensile strength and natural corrosion resistance. Ideal for parts that require low friction.

PEEK

PEEK

PEEKPEEK (CNC) is an engineering thermoplastic with excellent mechanical and thermal properties. Can be used to replace metal parts. Biocompatible.
