Injection molding vs extrusion Injection molding and extrusion are some of the common plastic forming processes in the market. Both methods use a die to manipulate material, but that is almost as far as the similarities go. While extrusion produces continuous...
Types of Milling Tools Among so many types of milling tools, sometimes, it becomes challenging to choose the right one. The wrong cutter increases machining cost, reduces tool life, and affects part quality. To better avoid this issue, you should consider surface...
Large CNC Machining Machining large parts or components presents challenges with traditional techniques. These components demand large size, weight, and complexity beyond the capacity of conventional machines. However, this problem is resolved with the use of large...
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,...
