Computer Numerical Control CNC, or Computer Numerical Control, is at the heart of modern manufacturing. On its own, it’s a set of codes stored on a computer. When connected to a machine, those codes accurately guide every move to cut, drill, and shape parts. This has...
Thread Milling In engineering, a thread is the spiral groove on a round surface. It can be on the outside of a rod or inside a hole. You can find cutting threads in small screws and also in large mechanical machine parts. Threads are usually made by cutting, tapping,...
Hot vs Cold Runner Injection Molding Ever wondered about the difference between hot runner and cold runner injection molding? These are the systems used to shape the molten material into products. A hot runner system keeps the plastic melted as it goes through heated...
Rake Angle in Machining The rake angle is a key part of a cutting tool in machining. It’s the angle between the cutting edge and the material you’re cutting. This angle changes how the tool cuts, how strong the edge is, and how the chips come off. Whether you’re...
Swiss Turned Parts Manufacturing Swiss Turned Machining is designed for high-precision work, usually on small-diameter parts. It’s ideal when you need tight tolerances, deep features, and the same results across large production volumes. The machine setup gives you...
