It Is Easy To Make Rapid Prototyping Using CNC Machining

 

Time is of the essence when it comes to new product development, especially for prototype CNC machining. Despite this, not all stakeholders involved in the new product development process truly grasp the challenges that come with ensuring a new product design can meet specs at the right price and lead time.

The following are 5 reasons why you should choose CNC machining for rapid prototyping.

Precise Tolerances
The latest CNC machining processes use cutters that produce parts with tolerances of +.05mm or better. Such precision is more than suitable for most commercial applications and prototypes.

Cost effective
Today’s CNC machining technology is affordable. This considerably lowers production costs over that of more lengthy, traditional methods of the parts needed for accurate prototype creation.

Fast Turnaround
CNC machining is an efficient process that can give you hundreds of units in a very short time. 3D CAD files and raw materials can be quickly transformed into physical prototypes, thanks to the collaboration of machine tools and the latest computer programs.

Easy to Change
By its very nature, the process of product development usually requires some tweaking. Since CNC machining is controlled by a computer program and attached to a computer design file, it’s relatively easy to change and edit your prototype as you continue to improve and develop the design. 

No limitation to materials
While processes like 3D printing generally work with plastic polymers, CNC machining works with a wide variety of different materials. From plastics to metals, developers can test a variety of substances to test performance, longevity, cost and appearance.
