Learn how CNC machining ensures the precision, safety, and consistency required for high-stakes medical imaging components.
This guide will help you get the most out of CAD machining, making your CNC projects smoother and more successful.
In this blog, we offer insights into why our customers place their confidence in us for critical projects.
Choosing the right metal for CNC machining isn't just a design decision; it has a direct impact on performance, reliability, and cost. When a part fails or wears out too quickly, the root cause is often the material. That's why material testing is such a critical step in the process. We'll explore what to consider when selecting metals for CNC machining, and how testing helps verify that choice.
Thread pitch might seem like a small detail, but getting it wrong can cause serious issues, misaligned parts, poor fits, or even mechanical failure. If you're designing or sourcing precision-machined components, knowing how pitch works is essential for ensuring proper fit and function. This guide is here to walk you through everything you need to know.
Automation and lean manufacturing don't have to be opposing forces—when combined through palletisation, they unlock new levels of CNC machining efficiency, minimising downtime and driving precision without compromise.
With so many misconceptions about CNC machining floating around, we thought we'd set the record straight.
Exceptional quality isn't just a 'nice to have'. As a buyer, you rely on quality components for the reliability, consistency and performance of your product. In this blog we take a look at what good quality assurance looks like, so you can make sure you choose a supplier who will deliver the quality you need.
Among the various types of anodising processes, two prominent methods stand out: Hard Anodising and Sulphuric Acid Anodising. In this blog, we delve into the distinctions of each of these finishing processes, comparing their benefits, common applications, and suitability for CNC machined components.
As a buyer of machined components, cost is probably never far from your mind. In this blog, we break down what a CNC machining quote should cover to help you compare quotes between suppliers in the UK.
Quality. Everyone wants it but not everyone is getting it. Here we take you through the main things to look for and questions to ask prospective machining suppliers when it comes to quality.
Have you ever marvelled at the sleek finish on your favourite gadgets? This level of finish is achieved from a process that is part science, part artistry. We're talking about plating. In this blog, we take you through what plating actually is, why you might choose plating, the factors that affect the final plating finish, and how you can allow for plating at design stage.
Delve into the essentials of surface finishing and explore the five key factors every specifier and engineer should consider when deciding on the appropriate surface finish for their CNC machined part.
Delve deep into the art of threads design, manufacturing, and more. In this blog we explore in detail how to select and specify threads for CNC machining as well as draw your attention to key design considerations. We also take you through how Penta machine threads to give you more background for your design.
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.
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.
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.
