Issues to be aware of when CNC machining hard and soft metals

Issues to be aware of when CNC machining hard and soft metals Generally, metals can be divided into “hard metals” (such as stainless steel, titanium, and nickel-chromium alloys) and “soft metals” (such as aluminum, copper, and brass). Each type of metal presents unique challenges during CNC machining. Understanding the differences between machining hard and soft […]

What causes the high cost of CNC machining?

What causes the high cost of CNC machining? As a custom CNC parts manufacturing engineer at Elimold , I’m often asked why CNC machining costs are so high. In reality, cost isn’t determined by a single factor, but rather by the combined effects of technology, operations, and the market. Costs vary depending on the machining

What are the axes in 5-axis machining, and how do they work?

What are the axes in 5-axis machining, and how do they work? The birth of CNC machine tools laid the foundation for the rapid development of modern machining technology, especially in the last decade when CNC machines have evolved from 3-axis to 5-axis. I have every reason to believe that 5-axis machining, and more recently,3+2-axis
