This article will break down the key differences between 3D printing and CNC machining, how these methods complement each other, and the applications where each excels.

For precision machinery parts, it is not what material can be processed, if the hardness of the material processed by the precision machinery parts exceeds the hardness of the lathe tool, it will damage the lathe tool, so these materials are not suitable for precision machining. So what are the specific requirements for precision machinery parts processing?

The materials are wrong, all in vain! In order to produce satisfactory products, the choice of materials is the most basic step and the most critical step. CNC machining can choose a lot of materials, including metal materials, non-metallic materials and composite materials.

"CNC machining often has many advantages. From the perspective of automotive, aerospace and consumer applications, it is widely used in the manufacturing of components in these fields. And, in a way, it has similar properties to metal."

Polyformaldehyde, or POM, is a fascinating plastic resin that is widely used in various industrial fields. The aerospace, automotive and electronics industries are important consumers of this polymer. The processing of polyformaldehyde, especially when used in the manufacturing field, can achieve fast and efficient processing. In addition, it benefits users due to its high mechanical strength, stiffness, machinability and variety of grade choices.

In 2023, industrial metals experienced a dismal bear market, with a manufacturing recession triggered by high interest rates spreading around the world and major metal prices falling, with the S&P GSCI Industrial Metals Index down 6% for the year. Since 2024, copper prices have begun a wave of spectacular market, and the current LME copper price once rose to $9,800 / ton, hitting a new high since June 2022; The corresponding Shanghai copper once exceeded the 80,000 yuan/ton mark. Many people believe that copper prices are the "current indicator" of economic prosperity, and that copper prices rise and fall in sync with the macro economy, but this year such a positive correlation seems to have broken down.

In the field of modern manufacturing, CNC (computer numerical control) processing technology has become a powerful tool for shaping various materials, and plastic materials have shown a unique charm in them. Today, let's take a closer look at the beauty of CNC-machined plastics and the significant advantages that this process brings to factory production.
