Rapid CNC Prototyping Wide Material Options Tight Tolerance More Reliable Strength And Fitting Testing
High Precision CNC Milling is a type of conventional manufacturing technology that uses the high-speed rotating cutting tool to precisely remove the unwanted material from a solid workpiece. The cutting tool is usually held in a spindle and moving along multiple axes (3,4,5 axes) to create various structures, shapes and features. Here are some key features and advantages of CNC milling:
High Precision: CNC milling are capable of producing highly precise and accurate parts with tight tolerances, often within 0.01 to 0.1 mm, or more tighter one. This makes CNC milling ideal for applications that require high precision and accuracy, such as defense, aerospace, medical devices, and automotive, etc.
Fully Automation: CNC milling machines can be fully automatic, this means it can work for a intended time without human intervention. This reduces the cost for manual labor and increases efficiency and productivity.
Great Customization: CNC milling machines can be programmed to produce highly custom parts for exact details and specifications, which brings the great design flexibility and customization. This is especially important for the industries that require unique or specialized parts.
Compared with Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies for Rapid Prototyping & Manufacturing, CNC Machining is a great choice for Rapid Prototypes manufacturing for its real and cheap raw materials, high precision, wide material and surface finishing options, usually economical manufacturing cost, and fast turnaround. Here are part of the benefits of CNC machined prototypes:
Wide Material Options. So far the material options for AM technologies are relatively limited, such as ABS, PP, PMMA, Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Titanium with all simulated material properties, while CNC machining works nearly all common solid plastics, metals, woods, composite materials, etc.
Wide Surface Finishing Options. Due to material property features, AM technologies produced prototypes can not apply some surface finishing techniques for some materials, such as chrome plating finishing for AM ABS prototypes which will lead to deformation because of its weak high-temperature resistance.
Fast Turnaround. Manufacturing complex geometry and details is the key advantage for AM technologies over CNC machining, and for the parts with simple geometry and details, CNC machining could take shorter time than AM technologies to finish the prototypes, especially for the low volume prototypes manufacturing.
Though a variety of Additive Manufacturing techniques are used for Rapid Prototyping, CNC is still the leading Rapid Prototyping process in China for material advantages and cheap labor here. No matter big or small size, simple or complex design, mechanical or appearance verification, CNC is the competitive option.
Quality and Service are the true reasons that HONKIA survives and grows up in the market since our establishment. We saw some of our competitors are making money by playing around the quality and then lose the market faster than we think. We do know that is not a sustainable business pattern.
We are a professional supplier. We know what we are doing. We keep a very stable quality level for years. Thanks to our professional production and technical team, our qualified products rate is 99.75% and we are constantly improving it, we hope our clients can get what they paid for.
How does HONKIA compare to other suppliers on price?
Compared to other Chinese suppliers, we choose not to compete on price but to offer the high level of quality, rapid response, and professional results. That’s why some customers cooperate with us for many years, compared with the price, they need a reliable partner to avoid serious losses caused by annoying after-sales service or even the trouble of finding no one.
What if I am not completely satisfied with the parts I receive?
HONKIA will free remake or amend the returned parts that you are not completely satisfied, or refund the full arrived payment, though this is rarely happened in the past. Any disputes based on a subjective or unilateral determination shall be discussed and negotiated to reach a reasonable result. Our continuing business relies on earning your confidence in our ability to meet and exceed the reasonable expectations.
