Are you familiar with sheet metal fabrication? Sheet metal stock is made from a common flat sheet. and the process of blanking or cutting is when you profiling the unfolded part to create a flat pattern. when the part is formed, then it can be inserted, welded, partly marked, or have some surface treatments. here at CNCLATHING, we want to help you understand why should you use sheet metal, and knowing the tools of the trade will help you be mindful of your design along the way, then we will go into specific design guidelines for sheet metal. so without further ado, let talk about sheet ......

Do you truly understand how we as your manufacturer interpret the drawings? in this article, we want to help answer some of the things about how you can specify in a way in which your communication is heard on the manufacturing whether it’s regarding drawings or specified through your communications with your manufacturer.   When Do You Need To Use Specific Tolerances? There’s variation in the real world, everything that you’re designing for the most part unless it’s at a movie is ther......

Up milling and down milling are two common phenomena in CNC machining. Many people don’t understand the difference between them. Today’s article will talk about the difference between up milling and down milling.The cutting edge of the milling cutter will be subjected to impact load every time it cuts in. In order to successfully milling, we must consider the correct contact mode between the cutting edge and the material when the cutting edge cuts in and cuts off in a cutting. In the milling process, ......

What is the calculation formula of cutting speed? How to calculate cutting speed? Read on this article and get to know formula to calculate cutting process. Cutting Speed Formula When machining a part or a component, the cutting speed formula is one of the most critical criteria to consider. It is possible to boost the mate......

Metal 3D Printing is a technology that has been widely used nowadays, its applications ranging through from aerospace, racing, MIM components to gas and steam turbines. so the first question you might be wondering is why would people be looking to finish a part in the first place? and what’s the desire to change the finish of a metal printed part off of the printer.   When a metal printed part is functional and ready to go, but occasionally there’s a need to optimize that surface or modify it in som......

Mechanical engineering is a broad concept that involves lots of principles and fields. Manufacturing or production is an essential part to understand it. This article will look into the basic definition of mechanical engineering, the task of mechanical engineers, and the difference between additive and subtractive manufacturing. ......

Although vertical and horizontal milling machines come in similar designs, they vary significantly in their capabilities. Best equipment for specific CNC milling parts depending on the requirements, complexity, precision and more factors. To decide which type of milling machine or machining center to choose, here let’s take a look at the complete difference between horizontal and vertical milling machines (vertical mill vs horizontal mill). ......

3D printing technology has been applied in various fields and changed the production mode of many products as it offers several benefits, including faster time to market, greater design customisation and the potential to create new business models. Of course, this includes the field of toy development. As a new type of material, the application of science and technology makes three-dimensional objects by adding materials layer by layer, and fully integrates and infiltrates information, materials, biology, control......
