There are many sheet metal materials suitable for prototyping, commonly used are: cold-rolled sheet SPCC, hot-rolled sheet SHCC, galvanized sheet SECC, SGCC, copper, aluminum plate, aluminum profile and stainless steel. Different materials have different wear resistance, corrosion resistance, electrical...
Usually one heat treatment process is in place before or after parts being CNC machined. So what is the role of heat treatment?
It mainly has the following four functions:
1. It can improve the hardness of materials. For example, quenching, carburizing quenching, etc.
2. Remove the internal stress...
Designing purposes:
Jig, fixture and gauge are designed to improve the machining accuracy, production efficiency and operations’ safety.
Design considerations:
The general service time of jig, fixture and checking gauge is long. Mold type tooling mainly considers points are the service life, maintenance...
To get high quality product, on time delivery as well as reasonable cost, proper CNC processing methods should be chosen. Usually there are 5 CNC process methods are widely adopted in prototyping industry.
1. Turning
Turning is to clamp the work-piece firmly on the rotating plate or mandrel....
In mechanical manufacturing process, including prototyping industry, sandblasting is a very common and very mature surface treatment technology, such as: Mold sandblasting to remove mold cutter grain, rust, or get rust prevention function; Plastic mold factory to do fine etching; Sandblasting before...
What is Customer Experience?
It is a collection of users, products and services. If you ask someone what their user experience is with a product, they might say "good, cheap, good quality, blabla" because there are so many things.
In the Internet era, user experience is becoming more and more critical...
For broaching, tapping, deep hole drilling, high precision and high strength processing, proper cutting fluid is to be chosen to ensure the quality of processing. We develop one selection reference based on the material of cutting tool for your cutting fluid selection reference.
High speed steel...
What are the main finishing methods of sheet metal products?
Because some sheet metal material does not have anti-rust and anti-corrosion capabilities or we need to remove some processing traces for beautiful appearance or to gain better processing capability for next processes, we have to do some...
There are many kinds of prototypes and many methods of processing. Usually the material used in prototyping can be divided into 3 categories.
Metal material
It covers aluminum, magnesium alloy, steel, copper, etc. In fact, in our real life they are more common. Moreover, it has to show not only...
