CNC Machining: Versatile Solutions for Mass Production in Various Industries
CNC machining may be among the oldest manufacturing technologies, but it is still widely used for making prototypes and end-use parts and products. Today, many companies can build a rapid prototype with CNC machining for the aerospace, automotive, sports, fashion, medicine, and food industries.
With technological advancements, CNC machines are becoming more affordable, sophisticated, faster, and reliable for making a wide range of products, no matter how simple or complex the designs are. This benefits product developers and engineers constantly innovating to make better mass-produced products. This blog lists just 3 of the many items that can be manufactured in high volumes using CNC machining.
- Custom automotive parts – Part customization allows the automotive industry to meet the increasing demand for high-quality, reliable, and durable metal or plastic components for custom vehicles. An automotive manufacturer may choose to build a custom end-use part or rapid prototypewith CNC machining. It can be anything from side mirrors, door handles, dashboards, grilles, or console panels. In addition, customization gives product designers the freedom to tailor the parts to functional or customer requirements.
- Aerospace components – In the aerospace industry, consistency and precision are critical for manufacturing parts and prototypes. This sector also requires detailed records of each part’s manufacturing history for audit purposes. CNC machining meets these stringent requirements by adhering to ISO 2678 standards for tight tolerances, ensuring both safety and quality. Additionally, CNC machining is capable of producing strong yet lightweight components, like bearing housings and spacers, that are ideal for aerospace applications.
- Medical devices – CNC machining is ideal for producing parts for medical equipment and devices, as the process is configurable for increased repeatability and accuracy. As such, it is used for custom medical instruments, surgical implants, and orthotics. Additionally, CNC machines can process specialized FDA-approved materials without requiring extensive post-processing.
