Selecting standard tolerances, understanding the material and prioritizing tight tolerances for the right components will help to balance cost and precision in the machining process. Choosing CNC ...

CNC machining of plastics typically involves cutting or carving into dense materials, resulting in a lower overall mass. Many manufacturers engaged in such processes must work within modest budgets.

CNC might seem like magic. After all, an engineer need only design a part, send it through some CAM software, and then let the CNC machine do it’s thing and automatically cut a part. But that’s not ...
