Qu'est-ce que l'usinage CNC ?

CNC machining, or Computer Numerical Control machining, is a subtractive manufacturing process widely used across various industries. It excels at creating high-precision and complex parts from a solid block of material, ideal for applications requiring high accuracy, such as aerospace components, medical devices, and intricate molds.

CNC programs guarantee consistent part production across batches. This minimizes human error and ensures every component meets your exact specifications, crucial for high-volume manufacturing and maintaining quality control.

CNC machines can handle a wide range of materials, from traditional metals like aluminum, steel, and titanium to engineering plastics, composites, and even wood. This allows you to select the material that best suits your project's needs in terms of strength, weight, and functionality.

Unionfab CNC Machining Finishes

Anodizing
Anodizing, primarily used on aluminum, employs electrochemical principles to create a layer of Al2O3 (aluminum oxide) film on the surface of aluminum and its alloys. This oxide film offers unique properties such as protection, decoration, insulation, and wear resistance.

Unionfab CNC Machining Design Guidelines

FonctionnalitéRecommendationReason

Tolérances

Use tight tolerances only when necessary

Engineers often specify stricter tolerances than necessary. Stricter tolerances increase machining time and cost.

Text

Avoid small or raised text

Adding text increases costs, especially if it's small. Opting for recessed rather than raised text.

Walls

Avoid tall and thin walls

Thin walls are prone to breaking and warping. Use 3:1 width-to-height ratio and add draft angles.

Internal Corners

Minimize sharp corners, use radii

CNC tools are cylindrical, so radii ensure proper machining. Make sure radius size > tool diameter.

Tool Sizes

Design with standard tool sizes

Custom tools are expensive and increase lead time.

Feature Alignment

Maximize alignment with machine axes

Features aligned with X, Y, Z axes require fewer tool changes and setups, reducing cost.

Unionfab CNC Machining FAQs

Qu'est-ce que l'usinage CNC ?

CNC machining, or Computer Numerical Control machining, is a manufacturing process where a computer controls automated machinery to remove material from a solid block of metal, plastic, wood, or foam. This subtractive process precisely sculpts the material into a desired final shape.

CNC Machining: Pros and Cons

cnc machine tools

Rapid Prototyping: CNC machining is ideal for creating rapid prototypes, allowing for quick design iterations and testing before mass production. This reduces development time and costs.

High Precision and Repeatability: CNC machines achieve exceptional accuracy and consistency, essential for complex parts and tight tolerances. This translates to reliable performance and efficient assembly in the final product.

Wide Range of Materials: CNC machining can handle a vast array of materials, from soft plastics to high-strength steels and exotic alloys. This versatility allows for the creation of parts with the optimal properties for each application.

Complex Geometry Manufacturing: CNC machining excels at creating intricate shapes and features that would be difficult or impossible with traditional machining methods. This opens up design possibilities and allows for more functional and innovative parts.

Automation and Efficiency: CNC machines are computer-controlled, enabling unattended operation and reducing human error. This leads to increased production speed, lower labor costs, and consistent quality output.
