5-axis CNC machining is an advanced form of subtractive manufacturing that allows manufacturers to create highly complex, high-precision parts in a single setup. Like other CNC processes, it works by removing excess material from a workpiece using cutting tools. Parts can be shaped from different materials, such as metals, plastics, and composites. Product teams can […]

Not every design leads to a successful product, even if it theoretically looks flawless. The difference often comes down to Design for Manufacturing (DFM), aka Design for Manufacturability, which involves considering the manufacturing process from the start. A design that seems perfect in CAD can quickly run into real-world roadblocks once it’s time to start […]

Torlon®, the brand name for polyamide-imide (PAI), is an ultra-high-performance thermoplastic known for its exceptional mechanical strength, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. It has the highest strength and thermal resistance of any melt-processable plastic, with continuous use temperatures up to 260°C. Torlon is often used in extreme conditions, such as aerospace, oil & gas, and […]

Imagine designing a complex assembly with rotating parts that come into contact with each other. You have dialed in your dimensions and tolerances, ordered fasteners, and assembled your prototype parts. But as you rotate the components, they bind against each other, or even make grinding or squeaking noises. In this case, you may need a […]

High-quality hole machining is critical for manufacturing parts with tight tolerances. Holes need to align with precision and accuracy, especially for functional assemblies and engineering fits. Drilling, boring, and reaming are distinct machining processes used to create or refine holes, each offering different levels of precision and surface finish. However, these terms are often mistakenly […]
