In the world of CNC machining, precision is paramount. One key aspect of achieving precision is specifying tolerances. Tolerances define the allowable variation in dimensions for a given part. In this blog post, we will explore what tolerances are, why they matter in CNC machining and how to effectively specify them for optimal results.

Designing an electronic enclosure isn’t always straightforward, and keeping costs down can be crucial for making the end product financially viable. From material choice to surface finish, there are decisions made across the whole manufacturing process where you may be adding unnecessary costs. 

When it comes to CNC machining, data sheets are often relied upon by designers to guide their decision-making process. However, they do have their limitations in the context of CNC component design. Learn about these limitations and how to overcome them.

Exploring some common issues that may have arisen with your once reliable, existing CNC machining supplier. From quality and consistency concerns to communication gaps and inflexible approaches, we shed light on the signs that indicate it might be time to consider a new supplier. We delve into the reasons behind these frustrations and help you navigate the process of finding a more reliable CNC machining partner.

If your machined components arrive with quality issues, this may not be simply a problem with your supplier producing components to drawing. In reality, quality issues are a symptom of a bigger problem. Find out why this occurs and ensure it doesn't happen in the future.

Under pressure to cut spending? Struggling to maintain quality standards? The increase in raw material and energy costs is pushing up the price of CNC machining, but knowing what other aspects of your project will affect price can help you to keep costs down.  

Components for ocean technology applications need to meet two major criteria. How can you ensure your design will meet these criteria? Read more in this blog.

If you're designing an electronic product, particularly one with a plastic housing, there's a good chance you'll need a heatsink. This blog will take you through the key design considerations to achieve the best efficiency and value for money.

Flow measurement is an exacting science, be it the measurement of a liquid or a gas. There are many different applications, and designs vary accordingly, but there are commonalities in their machining requirements. Read on to find out more.
