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:

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.

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

Bead Blasted + Anodized type II

Bead Blasted + Anodized type II

Surface finishingBead blasting cleans and evens out the surface of your custom parts, improving the functionality and cosmetic quality. It leaves a uniform matte or satin texture on machined parts by administering high-pressure glass beads on the components. A solely cosmetic option is available on request.
