company news about Five Common Misconceptions about Custom CNC Machined Parts

In industrial manufacturing, CNC machining is widely used due to its high precision and efficiency. However, many customers often have some misunderstandings when customizing CNC machined parts, which affects the final processing quality and efficiency. Here are five common cognitive misunderstandings:
1. Inadequate detail in the drawings
Many customers provide drawings that lack necessary dimensions, tolerances, materials or special requirements, leading to deviations during the processing. Complete and clear technical drawings are the prerequisite for high-quality customization.
2. Ignoring material properties
Different materials perform very differently in CNC machining. For instance, aluminum is easy to machine, plastic is prone to deformation, and stainless steel consumes more cutting tools. If customers are not aware of the material properties, it may affect the accuracy of their choices and quotations.
3. Pursuing Unnecessary Precision
Some customers mistakenly believe that "the more precise, the better", but overly strict tolerance requirements can significantly increase costs and processing difficulties. Reasonable precision should be set based on actual functional requirements.
4. Ignoring post-processing techniques
Surface treatments such as anodizing, electroplating, and sandblasting play a crucial role in enhancing the performance and appearance of parts, but they are often overlooked. It is recommended to consider the required post-processing at the initial design stage.
5. Believing that shorter delivery times are always better
While prompt delivery is important, overly tight deadlines may compromise quality or increase costs. Reasonably arranging the production cycle helps ensure quality and control the budget.
Avoiding these common pitfalls can help customers complete CNC customization projects more efficiently and ensure the best balance between product quality, functionality and cost.
