Finishing Options
As the machined or deburring
The machined or deburring finish is the standard finish where unwanted attach chips are removed with deburring tools, and sharp edges are chamfered to smooth the surface (3.2 μm).
Bead Blasted
Bead blasting produces a matte texture, removing all the marks of machining tools. It applies to ABS, Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, and Steel parts.
Anodizing
Anodizing involves adding an aluminum oxide coating to aluminum and its alloys. The layers, which come in various colors, increase strength and shield the surface from corrosion.
Powder coating
Powder coating is the electrostatically applying of dry powder to the surface. It produces a thin layer providing excellent resistance to wear, corrosion, and abrasion.
Polishing
Physical rubbing of a metal surface to create a shiny surface is called a polishing surface finish. It increases the reflectivity and does not affect the dimensional stability of parts.
Brushing
Brushing is achieved by applying an abrasive brush to the metal surface, which produces a unidirectional satin finish. And it is not recommended for highly corrosive materials.
Smooth machining
Smooth machining is done by controlling the machining process, such as feed rate & cutting speed. It minimizes the tool marks and risk of corrosion.
Black-Oxide
Black oxide finish reduces surface reflectivity and offers mild corrosion protection. It involves adding a thin layer of magnetite to the surface.
Electro-less Nickel Plating
A thin layer of Nickel is created on the surface from a nickel-containing solution without electrolysis. Electro-less nickel plating provides a shiny appearance, excellent hardness, abrasive, wear, and corrosion-resistance to the substrate material.
Alodine
Provides excellent corrosion resistance property to the aluminum parts with greenish-gold color. It is the low-cost and quick surface finishing approach.
Electroplating
Electroplating increases the hardness of the steel &aluminum parts. It offers excellent corrosion, wears, and abrasion resistance.
Nickel plating
Make the parts super resistive to corrosion. It enhances mechanical strength, hardness, wear resistance, lubricity, and ductility. Nickel plating is applicable in different materials, including Steel, aluminum, copper, and brass.
Passivation
Enhance the appearance and functionality of the parts. After Passivation, parts of Steel and its alloys become super resistive from corrosion.
Yellow Chromate conversion coating
A shiny appearance with goldish color provides excellent corrosion resistance. It is applied on the surface of aluminum, magnesium, and their alloys. A layer of chromate also enhances the conductivity of parts
PTFE (Teflon) Coating
The Teflon layer on the parts offers excellent corrosion resistance, water resistance, and non-stickiness with a non-reactive surface.
Fine machining
The higher-precision machines produce delicate machining surfaces by utilizing sharper tools and regulating feed rate and cutting speed. Surface roughness up to Ra 0.8 μm can be maintained with smooth machining.
Laser Cladding
Provides excellent corrosion, wear, and abrasion resistance. Laser Cladding is also effective for treating minor surface imperfections such as cavities, tiny cracks, and rust damage.
Sanding
Provides a random, non-linear texture with a shiny, high gloss finish. However, it might be unable to create sharp corners and pockets

Technology Overview
What is CNC Milling?
CNC milling is an abbreviation for Computer Numerical Control milling. So, the milling operations are numerically controlled by the computers here. CNC milling machines, like cutting and drilling machines, use rotary tools to cut away at a workpiece into the desired shape. Because a computer controls the movement of tools and other machine parts, there will be no human error, resulting in precise parts with tight tolerance. CNC milling can work with any manufacturing material, from steel to plastic.
The instructions for part creation are generated when we load the CAD file into the CNC milling machines. The computer controls the coordinates and positions along with the tool’s movement. CNC milling is used in many industries Such as automotive, aerospace, defense, Medical, and more.
Principle of CNC Milling
The milling process begins with the positioning of the workpiece and tools. Next, the workpiece is inserted into a holding device, and tools are inserted into the spindle. The CAD file determines the milling direction (horizontal or vertical). Once the tool and workpiece placement is complete, a program is edited and executed. The tools are now moved to create the desired shape based on the instructions.
The milling cutter tools move through the multiple axes to create the parts where several operations other than cutting might be needed, such as drilling holes and slots. A milling cutter can move along multiple axes and make several shapes, slots, holes, and other impressions. Milling machines usually have four directions for operations X, Y, Z, & W. The horizontal movement is represented by X and Y. The Z axis represents vertical movement, whereas the W axis represents diagonal movement across a vertical plane.
Different types of CNC Milling
There are four common types of CNC milling operations. Plane, face, angular, and form milling are all options. These milling operations are selected during manufacturing based on the work piece’s shape requirements.
Face milling uses a tool with teeth on its periphery and face. The peripheral teeth cut the workpiece, and the face teeth finished the surface. The plane of the workpiece is positioned at a right angle to the tool axis.
In Angular milling, the cutting tool is placed in a way that makes a specific angle to the workpiece surface to create a design-angle cut, such as a groove or a dovetail. It is generally applicable when Milling planes are neither parallel nor perpendicular to the tool axis.
The milling of irregular surfaces like curve planes is accomplished by form milling with the help of a special cutter called a formed cutter. Various complex parts needed to be created convex, concave, hemispherical, or other complicated shapes, Thanks to formed milling.
Plain milling, also known as surface milling, is the most commonly used type of milling in which the milling cutter axis is parallel to the surface being milled. It is the best method when a large amount of material needs to be removed.

FAQ
Technical FAQ’s
What is the lowest thickness I can implement into my design to prevent warpage?
We recommend a minimum thickness of 0.5mm for metal and 1mm for plastic. The value, however, is heavily dependent on the size of the parts to be manufactured. For example, if your parts are much smaller, you may need to increase the minimum thickness limit to prevent warpage, and for large parts, you may need to lower the limit.
What is a 5-axis CNC machine?
Five-axis CNC machines can move through 5-axes, allowing the operator to simultaneously mill over five sides of a workpiece.The A, B, and C axes rotate separately from the X, Y, and Z axes. The machine’s configuration or CAD design determines which two of the three additional rotational axes are used.
General FAQ’s
What kind of CNC milling equipment do Prolean use?
