Stainless steel is a type of versatile engineering material and is well known because of its corrosion and heat resistance. Among the stainless steel alloy family, 304 and 316 are commonly used in various applications. Here we’ll compare different types of stainless steel grades: 304 vs 304L vs 316 vs 316L. All of them contain principally iron but differ in chemical composition and properties. ......

Let’s break down all the different filaments on a scale of usability, printability, and demand for that filament. we’re ranking it with data, usability, how applicable the material is for different applications, how usable it is across a wide field of uses, printability, how much of this material going to be to work with daily, get to work reliably, and demand. so if you need a 3D print service what is the likelihood that you’re going to get requests for this actual material?   Best of Best –......

There are all types of 3D printers like FDM, DLP, SLA, etc. but what’s the difference among them? here at cnclathing, we’ll show you how these various types of 3D printers vary, what materials do they use, and which ones have the best for detail, and how to choose among them in different scenarios.     What Does FDM, DLP & SLA Stand For? Most people have seen an FDM printer, that’s the one where the filament is on a roll gets heated up and squirted out to make your parts bit by bit. wha......

When you choose a caliper measuring tool, which type is the best option? People have different preferences and calipers come in varying features and specifications. In this article, we are going to analyze the details of dial calipers, digital calipers and vernier calipers. Starting from the working principle, more importantly, dial vs. digital vs. Vernier caliper, what’s the difference between them? What is Dial Ca......

With the improvement of social and economic level, related industries put forward strict requirements for machining, and the market competition of machining technology is becoming more and more fierce. At present, information technology has entered into various industries, and the field of mechanical manufacturing is no exception. The application of CNC technology improves the efficiency of mechanical processing. With its advantages, it has become an important measure in mechanical manufacturing and processing, a......

What Is A CNC Vise? If you grew up woodworking or you’re in your local hardware store, what you think of as a Vise probably looks a lot different than what you see in a machine shop. one of the first differences is the profile and the shape of the vise. we prefer what’s often called a CNC vise. these are Vises that have flat and ground sides. this lets you do two key things: you could rotate the vise up on its side or you can use those precision flat edges to easily tram in the vise, whether you&#......

3D printing and injection molding are two common processing techniques, but their process principles are indeed different. According to your project requirements, these two technologies can help you make and produce quickly. They all have their own advantages and both of them will bring benefits to your manufacturing process, which is why it is necessary to understand the differences between them. So in this guide, we analyze the difference between 3D printing vs injection molding from many aspects.   ......

What Is Window Machining?  Window machining lets us really simplify a lot of fixturing, especially the fixed stream for that second or third operation by letting the material serve as the fixture itself and that’s done so with tabbing. tabbing is oftentimes where you’re holding on with a vise or a dovetail and you want to self-fixture that material machining the part down to there’s one final tab holding that part on.  Window Machining On 3-Axis Machining With 2D Contour Tabbing, & Hot ......
