vs. Other Processing Methods
vs. CNC Machining
Advantages of CNC Milling/Turning:
- Excellent for cylindrical parts and components.
- Ideal for producing prototypes in a cost-effective manner, especially for lower quantities.
- Capable of handling a wide range of materials, including difficult-to-machine materials.
Disadvantages of CNC Milling/Turning:
- Less versatile than CNC machining in terms of the complexity of shapes that can be produced.
vs. 3D Printing
Advantages of CNC Milling/Turning::
- Optimal for creating cylindrical and round parts with high precision.
- Suitable for a wide range of materials, including hard-to-machine ones.
- Cost-effective for lower quantities.
Disadvantages of CNC Milling/Turning::
- Limited to rotational or cylindrical geometries.
- More manual intervention may be required, potentially leading to inconsistencies in multi-part projects.
vs. Injection Molding
Advantages of CNC Milling/Turning::
- High precision, especially for cylindrical and round parts.
- Can handle a wide range of materials, including hard-to-machine ones.
- More cost-effective for low quantity runs.
Disadvantages of CNC Milling/Turning::
- Limited to rotational or cylindrical geometries.
- More manual intervention may lead to inconsistencies in multi-part projects.
