When designing a part, it is best to think ahead of time about which process will be used to manufacture the model and optimize accordingly for that production process. Among them, the most common processing methods of plastic parts are CNC processing and injection molding. So how do we choose between these two processes? Plastic CNC VS Plastic Injection Molding CNC Machining CNC machining usually starts with a piece of material, and after several removals of the material, a set shape is obtained. CNC plastic processing is one of the main ways of making prototypes at presen......

Because of their high security and convenience, smart locks have begun to enter the whole family and become the smart choice for many families. However, the residual fingerprints on the smart lock panel are a headache for users. Once the fingerprints remain, the panel will be dirty. It must be cleaned regularly, and secondly, leaving your fingerprints exposed will always make people feel unsafe. In response to this situation, some smart lock manufacturers have begun to use CNC engraving technology, which not only makes the locks more beautiful and elegant but also ensures that there is ......

Reduced manufacturing costs are frequently the primary objective in CNC processing, whether you want to build a single prototype or prepare for mass production. Fortunately, as a designer, your selection will have a significant impact on the final cost. You may produce optimized components while minimizing costs and meeting design criteria by using the “Design for Machinability” approach described in this article. What factors influence the price of CNC parts? The cost of CNC machined parts is determined by the following factors:Processing time: The longer it takes......

In this day and age, when user experience is very important, more and more phone, laptop, and wearable device makers are putting effort into the shell materials. Just in the field of mobile phones, engineering plastics are slowly being replaced by metals for the casings of phones. Throughout the history of mobile phone shells, there have been a lot of different combinations, like plastic and metal, glass and metal, all plastic, all glass, etc., but none of them have been as popular as all metal materials. The all-metal mobile phone is better to touch in many ways, and it looks and feels......

When developing components using numerous technical polymers (such as PVC, POM, PEI, or PEEK), 3D printing is not possible. There is no dependable and cost-effective printing formula for these polymers. However, CNC plastic processing allows you to simply design any form of plastic based on the customer’s needs. Special materials for 3D printing are often expensive, and production costs are depending on the amount of materials used, implying that the cost of larger or more pieces is greater, but CNC processing plastic is a more convenient and cost-saving procedure. Following that,......

Aluminum alloy materials are the most used materials in CNC machining. In order to overcome the defects of surface hardness and wear resistance of aluminum alloy parts, expand the scope of application, and prolong the service life of aluminum alloy parts, surface treatment technology has become a part of the CNC machining of aluminum alloys. An indispensable part and anodizing technology are widely used and mature. After anodizing the surface of aluminum alloy accessories, their functionality and decoration can be enhanced. Anodizing can achieve any color except white, and can also achi......

For computer enthusiasts, the metal texture of the mechanical keyboard and the sound of the mechanical equipment are a kind of enjoyment for keyboard users. The modeling design of the mechanical keyboard frame is one of my favorite hardware configurations, especially the glaze color, which is very intoxicated when the computer is typing. Nowadays, DIY keyboard has become a great pleasure for computer enthusiasts, and preference for design schemes is becoming more and more important. Sometimes, it is a headache to choose a suitable......

ABS generally refers to ABS plastic, which is a terpolymer of acrylonitrile (A), butadiene (B) and styrene (S). The relative content of the three monomers can be changed at will to make various resins. ABS has the common properties of three components. A makes it resistant to chemical corrosion and heat, and has a certain surface hardness. B makes it have high elasticity and toughness. S makes it have the processing and molding properties of thermoplastic plastics and improves electrical properties. Therefore, ABS plastic is a “tough, hard and rigid” material with easy access......
