CNC metal milling vs wood milling Computer numerical control (CNC) metal milling is a renowned machining method across industries for accuracy, versatility, and efficiency. The diversity of metals and non-metals for CNC milling is as wide as the possible parts. There...
Tapping Metal In CNC Machining Ever wondered how those perfectly formed threads are generated? Tapping metal is a key link in the chain of manufacturing processes, whether it’s a tiny screw hole in a smartphone or a heavier bolt thread in an aircraft part. The...
Injection molding flash is a visible defect on plastic parts. Flash is the small plastic layer popping from the mold where two mold halves meet. Interestingly, flash can also occur in other places where there is a gap, plastic material overflow, movable cores and...
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) establishes a system to provide precise design details and communications. It allows engineers and manufacturers to handle dimensional variations and geometrical irregularities. The US military began developing...
Injection-molded parts usually measure a wall thickness between 1 and 5 mm. The proper thickness selection depends on three main factors: plastic material properties, functional requirements, and mold flow performance. The part performance requires you to keep the...
