iTWire - 10 Steps to Machining CNC Parts

Product News: A team of engineers and manufacturers join forces to help anyone in need of these items of precision. In this discussion, we will tackle how they create CNC parts for your manufacturing project. But before that, let’s discuss what CNC parts are and why do you need them.

Engineers and innovators create CNC parts to comply with a specific requirement that no existing parts can achieve. These requirements include safety and precision considerations; that is why they utilize custom CNC machining services.

Before creating CNC parts, designers and engineers will search for an alternative, such as a similar part that other designers use. But it’s not possible in some instances, such as when standard ones are either too expensive or not readily available. Those moments will help an engineer decide that custom CNC parts creation is a better option.

After determining which parts are standardized and customized, the engineers will decide on the shapes and dimensions of the customized ones. The purpose is to match everything from the assembly to the end-user. They will determine their designs after the following considerations:

Designing CNC parts will depend on the geometry and the sizes of every feature. The designer will tell the machinists about the measurements and geometries in the form of drawings and models. The designer will also decide the tolerance or closeness to a dimension so that the machinist will keep the part as precise as it should be.

The shape is as important as the composition of the CNC parts. That is why the designer will also determine the material of every machine for it that their designs would use. After that, the machinist will know every subtractive process that the material will undergo to create the custom part.

Not every shape and dimension is achievable using the same CNC machining process. That is why the designer will most likely update their design after learning about available CNC processes within their budget. That is why a good designer will save time when considering machining processes before starting the part design.

Machining services near you are also unique to each other. They have their own set of equipment and staff with specific specializations. Knowing which shop to contact for a CNC process is valuable, but knowing a shop that can offer the best CNC services will significantly benefit your project.

After touching bases, the CNC machine shop will confirm every part design they promise to produce. They will also declare a lead time for your machined parts. It’s a great option to decide to order around a hundred machined parts since it’s the optimum volume for CNC processes.

This step means telling the CNC machine where to go and what to do. The process is in the form of CNC programming. Machine shops have experts who use the programming language called g code, which CNC machines can understand. That way, the machinist can tell the machine where the cutting tool should move.

You might be hearing the terms mentioned above when discussing CNC machining. It is because CAD or computer-aided design concerns the creation of the visual model of the CNC parts. On the other hand, CAM or computer-aided manufacturing uses geometrical data from CAD to create the piece.

Creating a machined part is far from pressing a button and waiting for the machine to finish its job. CNC machines are clumsy without the help of an excellent machinist. Thus, here is an overview of how machinists tell the machine how to create your CNC parts.

It's risky to use the program on the actual material without checking the program first. That is why the material loaded on the steps earlier would be for trials only. The purpose is to check if the program will create your CNC parts’ desired shape and dimensions.

Now, here is the fun part! It's time for machining every custom CNC parts you requested. When you have unique pieces, you will repeat from step 5 up to this step, and the cycle goes on until the process is finished creating all the parts.

Checking if your machined parts met all the design requirements is crucial, especially when your CNC parts have high precision. Another part of this step is surface finishing when appearance, smoothness, and position requirements are present. It is labour-intensive and costly work; that is why machinists don't recommend surface finishing unless necessary.

This step only happens when you need extreme specifications for your project. The machinist will either modify your part is slightly or recreate it from scratch after a mistake. If everything works smoothly, you can proceed to the next step.

This exciting part is when you receive a notification about your CNC parts that are about to arrive. The machine shop will enclose each piece carefully so you can receive everything in a near-perfect state. After receiving your CNC machined parts together with the standard components, you are now ready to assemble your project.

PROMOTE YOUR WEBINAR ON ITWIRE It's all about Webinars. Marketing budgets are now focused on Webinars combined with Lead Generation. If you wish to promote a Webinar we recommend at least a 3 to 4 week campaign prior to your event. The iTWire campaign will include extensive adverts on our News Site itwire.com and prominent Newsletter promotion https://itwire.com/itwire-update.html and Promotional News & Editorial. Plus a video interview of the key speaker on iTWire TV https://www.youtube.com/c/iTWireTV/videos which will be used in Promotional Posts on the iTWire Home Page. Now we are coming out of Lockdown iTWire will be focussed to assisting with your webinars and campaigns and assistance via part payments and extended terms, a Webinar Business Booster Pack and other supportive programs. We can also create your adverts and written content plus coordinate your video interview. We look forward to discussing your campaign goals with you. Please click the button below. MORE INFO HERE!
