Electroplating and electroless plating are both metal finishing processes used to coat a metal surface with a thin layer of another metal. What are the differences between them and what are their advantages/disadvantages? Electroplating vs Electroless Plating: What's the Difference? ......

Choosing the right type of finish can enhance the aesthetic appeal and properties of the metal. Here we’ll walk you through different types of metal finishes, and the popular, cheap, and durable options. Different Types of Metal Finishes ......

With CAD software, designers can create 3D models to specify the details of CNC machining parts. Converting a 2D drawing to a 3D model can be a complex process that requires a good understanding of AutoCAD. Below we’ll get into the steps for switching 2D and 3D drawing, the process of creating a 3D CAD and best free software. ......

Compared to 3D drawing, the 2D file is simpler and more cost-effective to use, but it has some limitations. Today we want to introduce what is a CAD 2D drawing with the steps for creating it. Also, let’s take a look at the pros and cons of 2D drawings. What is a CAD 2D Drawing? ......

When working with brass on a CNC machine, it is important to use the right cutting tools, speeds, and parameters. What is the best brass for CNC turning and machining? What are common brass-turned parts? Let’s get into these basics. Is Brass Good for CNC Turning? ......

The sharpest cut in the world is not a metal forged cut, but a watejet cut. Water jet is a device that uses ultra-high pressure water to form a high-pressure mixed jet through siphoning diamond sand for cold cutting. Mainly composed of high-pressure pumps, CNC machining platforms, and jet cutting heads. The application range of waterjet cut is very wide, from metal materials to non-metallic materials, from natural materials to artificial materials, from food to daily necessities. In this article, we take a brief ......

Water jet cutting is a process technology that uses high-pressure water flow to cut materials. This technology uses high-pressure water flow to increase the water pressure intensity to 400 megapascals. The water flow increases the water flow speed to 800-1000 meters/second through a special nozzle, and then applies high-speed impact force on the material surface to cut the material. The water flow used in water jet cutting can add abrasive to increase the cutting effect and expand the range. This technology not o......

Perpendicularity is an important control in GD&T and CNC design, it can ensure the machined part fit and function as intended. In this article, we’ll focus on perpendicularity definition, measurement, symbol, and the difference between perpendicularity and squareness. What is Perpendicu......
