CNC PROTOTYPE MACHINING

CNC PROTOTYPING SERVICES IN CHINA

CNC rapid prototyping is used to create plastic prototypes and metal prototypes, which allows your design team to closely simulate the final product appearance and function, and also reflecting the validity of physical dimension and the ease or complexity assembly work, and yet give the space to modify and optimize design.

We custom-configured our CNC milling machines and CNC turning lathes for complete integration with all the CAD/CAM software systems, to significantly streamline and simplify all of our CNC machining processes. Our advanced CNC Prototyping are very efficient in keeping up with clients’ demanding production schedules while being able to handle the operation of various machining projects that require precise tolerances, special materials, complex parts, and optimal efficiency.

3-axis machines for short production runs or simple components, flexible 4, 5-axis configurations for precision machined components, and optimized workflows of NC programming and tool path, all go beyond traditional setups and machining practices, and ensure us to perform complex machining tasks in specifications on time.

5-AXIS CNC MILLING CAPABILITIES

When mentioned a standard 5-axis machine, it refers to the number of directions in which the cutting tool can move, that after setup the cutting tool moves across the X, Y and Z linear axes and rotates on the A and B axes, simultaneous milling and machining, and with high-quality surface machined finish. This allows the complex and intricate parts or parts featuring multiple sides can be processed up to five sides of a part in a single setup. This supports design engineers to design multifaceted parts that can enhance the functionality and performance of the final product without limited process.

As many parts produced in prototype shops these days require five-sided machining, 5-axis milling and machining services are in high-demand for various applications in a wide range of industries including aerospace industry, steamer industry , car refitting industrial as well as energy production industries. Machining benefits include higher-quality surface finish, positioning accuracy, and short lead time while creating a tremendous edge for new business opportunities.

Advantages of 5-Axis CNC Milling

High-quality surface finish: It is feasible to produce high-quality machined finish parts with the use of shorter cutters with a higher cutting speed, which can reduce the vibration that frequently occurs when machining deep cavities with a 3-axis process. It makes a smooth surface finish after machining.

Positioning accuracy: 5-axis simultaneous milling and machining has become crucial if your finished products must adhere to strict quality and performance specifications. 5-axis CNC machining also eliminates the need to move the work piece among multiple workstations, thereby reducing the risk of error.

Short lead times: The enhanced capabilities of the 5-axis machine results in decreased production times, which translate into shorter lead times for production compared to the 3-axis machine.

CNC Machining Material Selection

ADVANTAGES & APPLICATIONS

Advantages of CNC Machining

• Wide selection of materials, no need to compromise with raw material because parts can be CNC machined directly out of engineering plastics and metals.
• Highly accurate and repeatable, CNC machining allows for high accuracy and excellent surface finish and/or details.
• Fast turnaround, CNC machines can be used 24 hours a day continuously, only being turned off for maintenance.
• Economical for short run of production parts that require wide range of operations to be performed. Scalable volumes from one to 100,000.
• Prototypes generally large and bulky parts are economical by CNC prototyping compared to rapid prototyping processes because most of RP proprietary materials are expensive.
