The advantages of precision parts production by CNC lathes

1. Numerical control forming
​
When starting a new plastic injection molding project, plastic prototype parts ensure that the product design is correct. For most plastic parts, CNC machining prototypes will provide the accurate testing required. Precision parts processing on CNC lathes enables you to test the shape, fit and function of injection molded parts without the need to produce injection mold tools.

2. Small-batch production

Because all you need is a suitable CAD file, CNC lathe precision parts processing is very good for a small number of parts. Since there are no molds to create, you can save money and time by directly creating products on a CNC machine tool. This makes CNC machining highly suitable for processing less than 100 pieces (once it exceeds 200 pieces, it becomes cheaper to produce parts by injection molding).

3. Fast turnaround time

Unlike in plastic injection molding where the mold is produced first, there is no such requirement in CNC machining. Once your documents have been uploaded and approved, production can start immediately. This has greatly shortened the production time.

4. High-quality parts

There are many advantages in precision parts processing with CNC lathes. This is a more precise process than manual processing, providing accurate repeatability. Because the computer controls the movement of the machine, the machine tool can move precisely and simultaneously on the axis, thereby generating complex, three-dimensional shapes, which is almost impossible to achieve through manual processing. These qualities make CNC machining an excellent manufacturing process for jobs that require high precision or high repeatability.

We usually control all tolerances within ± 0.2mm to 0.3mm. If it is very important to have strict tolerances in your key areas, you can specify that we hold tolerances exceeding 0.01 ".

For plastic components, due to the available materials and the production process itself, CNC machining can produce more robust parts than 3D printing. Therefore, they can withstand the same conditions as injection-molded parts.
