Complex Toolpath Programming
Efficient toolpath creation for intricate designs poses a significant challenge in CNC machining. Advanced techniques, such as adaptive machining and 5-axis operations, require a deep understanding of cutting dynamics and sophisticated programming. Inadequate programming can lead to inefficient processes, increased cycle times, and potential damage to the workpiece or tooling.
Thermal Distortion Management
Heat generation during CNC machining can result in thermal distortion, affecting dimensional accuracy and surface integrity. Effective heat management involves implementing cooling strategies, such as flood or mist cooling, and selecting appropriate tool materials and coatings. Understanding the thermal properties of both workpieces and tooling is essential for maintaining precision throughout machining.
Integration with CAD/CAM Systems
Seamless integration between Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) systems is vital for achieving precision. Common issues include file compatibility and data translation errors, which can compromise design intent and lead to discrepancies. Expertise in both systems is necessary to minimize errors and ensure accurate representation of CAD models in the CAM software.

A clear glass-like plastic. Reasonable wear and tear properties. Great for outdoor use.
Acetal
Delrin 150
Delrin 100
Resin with good moisture resistance, high wear resistance, and low friction.
Garolite G10 (FR4)
Garolite G10 (non-FR)
Garolite G11 (FR5)
Constructed of an epoxy resin with fiberglass fabric reinforcement, also called epoxy-grade industrial laminate and phenolic, this material offers high strength and low moisture absorption.
High-density polyethylene is a moisture and chemical-resistant plastic with good impact strength. The material is outstanding for outdoor applications as well as watertight containers or seals.
Offers increased mechanical strength, rigidity, good stability under heat and/or chemical resistance.
With almost twice the tensile strength of ABS, polycarbonate has superior mechanical and structural properties. It is widely used in automotive, aerospace, and other applications that require durability and stability.
PEEK
PEEK (USP Class VI TECAPEEK)
PEEK GF30
Offering excellent tensile strength, PEEK is often used as a lightweight substitute for metal parts in high-temperature, high-stress applications. PEEK resists chemicals, wear, and moisture.
Has excellent electrical properties and little or no moisture absorption. It carries light loads for a long period in widely varying temperatures. It can be machined into parts requiring chemical or corrosion resistance.
This material surpasses most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures. It resists most solvents and is an excellent electrical insulator.
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. A general-purpose material. It offers a unique combination of wear and corrosion resistance, low surface friction, high impact strength, high chemical resistance, and does not absorb moisture.
Polyvinyl chloride (Type 1) is a highly chemical-resistant synthetic plastic. PVC is commonly in environments exposed to liquids or requires electrical insulation.
ULTEM 1000
ULTEM 2300
ULTEM (Polyetherimide) is a stiff, robust, performance-grade thermoplastic that can operate continuously in high-temperature environments (up to 340°F). It has one of the highest dielectric strengths of commercially available thermoplastics, making it an excellent electric insulator. Since ULTEM is also resistant to chemicals, easily cleaned, and does not absorb moisture, it is often used for medical applications.
