- Machining Methodology
Our CNC Machining Process
We apply hybrid CAM strategies that combine high-speed tool paths, synchronized rotation, and in-cycle probing for precision across tight-tolerance dental features.
Advanced algorithms optimize tool paths, minimizing tool wear, reducing cycle times, and improving surface finishes. This involves strategically planning the sequence of movements and cuts to enhance efficiency.
Modern CNC machines often utilize 5-axis or even 6-axis capabilities, allowing for complex geometries and intricate shapes. This reduces the need to reposition the part, ensuring higher accuracy and a more refined finish.
CNC machines may integrate adaptive cutting strategies, where cutting conditions (speed, feed, depth of cut) adjust dynamically based on real-time sensor feedback or cutting force monitoring. This helps prevent tool breakage and ensures optimal material removal rates.
Specialized techniques like high-speed machining enable faster spindle speeds and advanced feed rates. This increases material removal rates while maintaining fine tolerances and reducing thermal distortion.
Some CNC setups incorporate in-process measuring systems (like laser scanners or probe-based systems) to check the part’s dimensions as it’s being machined. These systems can send real-time data back to the machine, allowing for automatic adjustments during production.
CNC machines with automated tool changers enhance efficiency by switching tools automatically without operator intervention. This allows for uninterrupted multi-operation machining without downtime, improving productivity in complex jobs with several cutting tools.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ
Check all our Frequently Asked Questions in CNC Machining
Frigate applies dry machining or coolant systems with medical-grade lubricants to prevent contamination during part production. We maintain dedicated tooling for titanium and stainless to avoid cross-material debris. Each machined part undergoes ultrasonic cleaning and Class 10,000 air-blow-off stations before packing. This prevents biofilm buildup and reduces reprocessing time for OEMs. Our workflow meets hygiene and cleanliness standards essential for patient-facing components.
Frigate uses synchronized CNC turning and helical interpolation for accurate thread profiles on titanium and stainless implants. We validate each thread pitch and angle using profile gauges and optical comparators. To prevent microburr formation, we apply minimum chip load cutting with multi-pass thread generation. As a result, the threads engage smoothly with mating parts while ensuring biocompatibility and repeat assembly integrity.
Frigate minimizes tool-to-part heat transfer by using high-speed, low-force cutting strategies and optimized spindle cooling. During extended runs, we use staged roughing and controlled finishing paths to stabilize temperatures. Materials like PPSU and zirconia receive shorter cycle passes with dwell time management. This ensures dimensional stability in features under 0.5 mm, commonly seen in scalers, tips, or brackets.
Frigate links each part with a unique traceability code embedded either through laser marking or QR labeling. Our MES (Manufacturing Execution System) records all parameters including material batches, tool paths, and inspection logs. Real-time syncing with quality records enables OEMs to retrieve any part’s data instantly. This system supports ISO 13485 traceability requirements and simplifies audit readiness for regulatory compliance.
Frigate performs multi-stage quality checks starting from in-process probing to post-machining CMM verification. We use optical vision systems to inspect submillimeter features and edge radii on dental tips or implant threads. Surface roughness is measured using contact and non-contact testers to meet Ra values under 0.4 µm. All inspections are logged against serialized part IDs, ensuring full quality documentation for each production lot.
