CNC Milling is a type of machining method that uses 3-axis and 5-axis machines to remove unnecessary parts to achieve the desired shape. It processes by carving out resin blocks.
CNC Turning is a machining method that rotates the workpiece and applies a fixed cutting tool to shave it. It is mainly suitable for machining cylindrical parts. With a composite lathe, it is possible to machine complex shapes in one machine by combining lathe and milling operations.
| Material | Description |
|---|---|
| ABS | ABS is a popular choice for prototyping due to its excellent balance of strength, toughness, and ease of processing. It can be easily machined, 3D printed, or injection molded, making it suitable for a wide range of prototypes, from consumer products to automotive components. |
| POM | POM (Polyoxymethylene) is a preferred choice for prototyping precision parts and mechanical components due to its excellent stiffness, low friction, and wear resistance. It can be easily machined or injection molded, making it suitable for creating prototypes of gears, bearings, and moving parts in various industries. |
| PP | Polypropylene is a versatile thermoplastic polymer that is highly appreciated for its excellent chemical resistance, elasticity, and fatigue resistance. This makes it a prime choice for creating prototypes that require durability in bending and flexing, such as living hinges, containers, and automotive parts. PP can be processed through various methods, including machining, injection molding, and 3D printing, allowing for flexibility in prototyping applications across industries. |
| Nylon | Nylon is a family of synthetic polymers, known for its high strength, temperature resistance, and abrasion resistance. These properties make nylon an ideal material for functional prototypes that must withstand wear and tear, such as tool parts, functional gears, and high-stress components. It can be processed by machining and is particularly well-suited for 3D printing, providing prototypes with a fine balance of strength and durability. |
| PEEK | PEEK is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic with exceptional mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistant properties. It is often used for advanced prototypes that require robustness in harsh environments, such as aerospace, medical, and automotive applications. PEEK can be machined and 3D printed to produce prototypes that must maintain structural integrity under high temperatures or in chemically aggressive environments. |

Liquid casting material is injected into the silicone rubber mold in a vacuum environment.
The silicone mold is cut open into a male and female mold, and the master model is removed.
The master model is fixed to a wooden frame and silicone is poured to create a mold.
