1. What Is CNC Machining?

CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control, a manufacturing method often referred to as CNC machining or manufacturing.

There is another similar term NC which refers to Numerical Control. Therefore, NC machining means Numerical Control machining.

What is CNC machine?

A CNC machine is a computer-controlled device that integrates the functionalities of manufacturing machinery with a computer program control system. To create a part, the control system converts a drawing prepared by a machinist into G-Code instructions. These digital instructions drive and govern the machine’s actions and movements , enabling it to produce the desired part through either additive material processing or subtractive material processing methods. The manufacturing process is fully automated based on the programmed instructions, eliminating the need for manual intervention.

2. What Dose CNC Machining Mean?

CNC machining, or CNC manufacturing, is a manufacturing process and method in which a machinist designs a computer controlled program and input it into a CNC machine which will subtract material from a workpiece with appropriate tools, to create a custom part.

This processing has become an important method for manufacturing a wide range of parts for its versatility, from gringder to lathe, from mill to CNC router. Advantage of CNC machining lies in it can accomplish effectively complicated manufacture in a single procedure which would require multiple machining operations. Therefore, increase efficiency, lower cost.

3. What is a Tool for CNC Machining?

A tool in CNC machining refers to the cutter or blade mounted on the spindle of a CNC machine. It functions as a subtractive tool that removes material from the workpiece when the spindle rotates, driven by a motor. The rotational speed of the tool is controlled by the CNC machining program’s instructions.

4. What is CNC Machining Software?

CNC Machine can work out a desired part just because it can read a numeric code, which is decoded by a software from original product design. The said software is known as CAD-CAM, acronym of “Computer Aided Design & Computer Aided Manufacturing”.

Therefore, the function of CAD-CAM software is for turning the product drawing into a language for the CNC machine to execute.

Main information contained in the language is toolpath, speed, tool depth, etc. Such information will be transmitted to machine controller and drive motors run, CNC machining manufacture then starts.

5. What Are Involved In CNC Manufacturing?

To produce a desired part using CNC machining, the following preparations are essential:

1) Part Drawing: Designed using CAD software.
2) Programming: Creation of the CNC program, often in G-Code.
3) Workpiece: The raw material to be machined.
4) Tool: The cutter or blade for material removal.
5) Jig or Fixtures: To securely hold the workpiece in place.
6) Dimension Measurement Tools: Such as calipers, tape measures, and dial indicators.
7) Auxiliary Tools: For setup and adjustments, such as wrenches.
8) CNC Machine: The equipment to execute the machining process.
9) Stable Power Supply: To ensure consistent machine operation.

17. Factors Influencing Pricing for CNC Machining

When you consider CNC machining for parts in your projects, the following factors should be taken into account. Understanding these factors can help you make informed decisions and manage your budget effectively. Here are the key elements that influence pricing for CNC machining:

1) Material Selection

Material Cost:

Different materials have varying costs. Metals like titanium or specialty alloys are more expensive than common metals like aluminum or steel. Similarly, engineering plastics can be more costly than standard plastics.

Machinability:

Some materials are easier for machining than others. Materials that are difficult to machine, such as hardened steels or certain composites, require more time and specialized tools, increasing the cost.

2) Part Complex Geometries

Design Intricacy:

Parts with complex geometries, tight tolerances, or intricate features require more machining time and sophisticated equipment, thus higher costs.

Number of Features:

The more features in a part, such as holes, slots, or threads, the more operations are needed, these will increase machining time and cost also.

3. Tolerances and Precision

Tight Tolerances:

Parts with tight tolerances need slower machining speeds, more precise tooling, and additional quality control measures, all of which add to the cost.

Surface Finish:

Achieving high-quality surface finishes requires additional machining processes and time, increasing the overall cost accordingly.

4) Production Volume

Quantity:

Higher production volumes can reduce the cost per part due to economies of scale. However, low-volume or one-off production runs are typically more expensive per unit because setup costs are spread across fewer parts.

Batch Size:

Larger batch sizes often lead to cost savings due to reduced setup times after spreading across whole batch and more efficient use of materials and machinery.

5) Machining Time

Cycle Time:

Cycle time, the time required to machine each part, directly affects the cost. Longer cycle times due to complex geometries or hard-to-machine materials will increase the price.

Setup Time:

Initial setup time for the CNC machine, including programming and setting up fixture, is a fixed cost that is amortized over the production run. Shorter runs will have a higher per-unit cost due to the setup time.

6) Tooling and Fixtures

Tooling Costs:

Custom tooling and fixtures needed for specific projects add to the initial cost. High-wear materials or complex parts may require more frequent tool changes or specialized tools. Therefore, resulting higher production cost.

Fixture Design:

Custom fixtures designed to hold parts during machining are necessary for complex or precision parts, increasing the initial setup cost.

7) Post-Processing Requirements

Secondary Operations:

Additional processes such as heat treatment, sandblasting, anodizing, powder coasting, or assembly add to the overall cost. Each secondary operation requires additional time, materials, and sometimes specialized equipment.

Quality Control:

Extensive quality control measures, including in-process inspections, final inspections, and testing, will increase the overall project cost.

8) Lead Time

Rush Orders:

Expedited services often come with a first production arrangement. Short lead times require prioritizing the job, which can disrupt normal production schedules and increase costs.

Standard Lead Times:

Projects with flexible timelines can be scheduled more efficiently, potentially reducing costs.

9)Labor Costs

Skilled Labor:

The experience and skill level of the machinists and engineers involved affect the cost. Highly skilled labor ensures better quality but may come at a higher price.

Conclusion:

Pricing for CNC machining services is influenced by a combination of material costs, part complexity, production volume, machining time, tooling and fixtures, post-processing requirements, lead time, labor costs. By understanding these factors, you can better anticipate the costs associated with your CNC machining projects and make decisions to optimize your budget.
