Guidelines and Trend Reports

Why do surface roughness limitations affect your choice of high-precision CNC machining services? In surface metrology, surface roughness is a component of surface finish (surface texture). It is quantified by the deviation of the actual surface normal direction from the ideal shape. A larger deviation indicates a rough surface; a…

How can DFM analysis reduce the cost of CNC machined parts and the risks associated with final mass production delivery? Many companies requiring custom precision CNC machined parts face two frustrating problems: excessively high production costs and product structures that are simply impossible to machine. In fact, the crux of…

How can we optimize the price of custom prototype parts and minimize design delivery risks through pre-production design facilitation (DFM) reviews? Based on Elimold’s years of experience manufacturing custom prototype parts (over 10,000 different projects), approximately 90% of development delays and cost overruns in prototype parts are due to design…

Practical design techniques for precision CNC turning parts CNC turning is a machining process that uses a computer-controlled lathe to cut rotating workpieces. It is an essential process for manufacturing cylindrical parts (such as shafts) and one of the most common processes for manufacturing custom precision parts. However, the design…

Basic principles, design, DFM (Design for Metalworking), and summary of failure cases for copper electroplating of CNC parts Many products with high-power signal output utilize numerous CNC-machined parts with copper plating for conductivity and electromagnetic interference shielding. Therefore, the use of copper-plated CNC structural components in such products is not…
