Manufacturing processes have been around for decades if not centuries. Hence, it is not surprising to see tons of innovations today take inspiration from past works and products. The same thing is happening with modern-day manufacturing. Computer numerical control or CNC technology, for instance, is still maximised today despite being around for more than half a century. And with the constant improvements implemented to the said technology, it remains to be significant to manufacturing processes today. With CNC technology, a tool or device can process raw materials in a programmed pattern to generate parts and products. It maximises software to […]

Computer numerical control (CNC) machining is a type of manufacturing process that many industries can maximise. This process involves the use of software in controlling the movement of the tools for milling, turning, and other machining techniques. Unlike manual machining, CNC machining is preferred by industries as it can generate less material waste. It can also carry out the assembly process quicker than its conventional counterpart. Energy consumption, toxic emissions, and production costs are likewise expected to be reduced significantly with CNC machining. One industry that can take advantage of CNC machining is the medical industry. Benefits of CNC Machining […]

Metals are used by many industries to create a wide array of parts and products. Some industries use them in creating the internal components of machines, while others use them to produce the structural materials of a building. One metal in particular that can be useful for many is stainless steel. Generally, stainless steel is an alloy of iron known for its resistance to corrosion and rusting. It is often comprised of at least 11% chromium, which is further mixed with carbon and other metals and nonmetals. And to make stainless steel useful for many industries, manufacturers would often subject […]

Various manufacturers use metal materials to produce parts and products needed by different industries. One of the reasons why metals are used by manufacturers is they are malleable. This quality allows them to alter their shape and form factor. Durability is another reason why manufacturers use metal materials in producing a wide array of components. Some metals, however, boast more qualities that make them recommended for specific needs. Tool steels, for instance, are carbon or alloy steels that are often processed to produce tools and tooling such as cutting tools, hand tools, knives, and dies. Tool Steels Primary Attributes Manufacturers […]

Before, manufacturers would turn to manual machining processes to produce various parts and products. They would mostly use tools that can remove materials from workpieces, ensuring they boast the right shape, dimensions, and other qualities. Today, however, manufacturers have adopted non-traditional machining processes in carrying out their operations. One machining process that they use is electrical discharge machining. Electrical discharge machining or EDM is a process where materials are removed from a part or workpiece through a series of repeated electrical discharges between the electrodes or the tools and the part being machined. This process is normally carried out alongside […]
