CNC machining and manufacturing of 1215 carbon steel metal parts.

1215 carbon steel has become one of the most popular materials for CNC machined metal parts due to its superior machinability and cost-effectiveness. As a leader in CNC machining and fabrication, we specialize in transforming this free-cutting steel into precision components for a variety of industries.

What is the CNC machining process?

You can optimize your design for computer numerical control (CNC) machining by following a few simple steps. Following design for manufacturing (DFM) principles will help you better utilize the diverse capabilities of CNC machining. However, this can be challenging due to the lack of unified standards within the industry.

CNC machining is a subtractive manufacturing technique. In CNC machining, various tools that rotate at high speeds (up to thousands of revolutions per minute) are used to remove material from a solid block to produce a part based on a CAD model. This type of machining is suitable for a variety of materials, including metals and plastics

CNC machined parts have high dimensional accuracy and tight tolerances, suitable for both mass production and one-off jobs. Compared to 3D printing, CNC machining is considered the most cost-effective way to produce metal prototypes.

What is 5-axis CNC machining?

Five-axis CNC machines are able to move the tool or part along five axes simultaneously, making it possible to manufacture parts with complex geometries. Multi-axis CNC machines provide an additional two rotational axes, thus eliminating the need for multiple machine setups and increasing machining efficiency.

What are the advantages and limitations of 5-axis CNC machining?

Five-axis CNC machining keeps the tool tangential to the cutting surface, allowing more complex and efficient tool paths. This machining method not only improves the surface finish of the part, but also reduces the machining time.

It is true that five-axis CNC machining has its limitations. Basic tool geometry and tool access restrictions still apply, for example, parts with internal geometry may not be machined. In addition, the cost of using such a system is generally higher.
