CNC Machining Service

Machined prototypes and production parts delivered on time

Renderfact CNC Machining

At Renderfact, we use advanced equipment to offer you a variety of CNC machining services including milling, turning, swiss machining, surface grinding and much more. Regardless of the manufacturing process used to create the end-use part, CNC machining is widely used by designers as a means of creating early and late-stage prototypes with short turnarounds times. Prototyping in CNC allows designers to rapidly iterate ideas without expensive tooling or longer wait times. Compared with other rapid prototyping methods, rapid CNC machining allows us to get tighter tolerances in prototypes in real materials fast. Using our state-of-art 3, 4 and 5-axis CNC machining centers, our team of engineers and machinists program the equipment to optimize cutting time, surface finish and final tolerance to meet your specifications.

CNC Prototyping is the preferred option to bring new design to life among the other rapid prototyping methods unless the products are designed for 3D printing or other methods only.

Below are some of the benefits of CNC Machining and How it Works!


Advantages of CNC Machining

Rapid Prototyping

The sheer range of materials available, inexpensive per unit cost, and speed of production makes CNC a great option for prototyping as well as production. Because CNC can be applied to virtually any material and it is perfect for rapid tooling as well, i.e., creating variety of parts, molds and fixtures.

Production and scalability

Once the parameters and specifications of a part been entered into a CNC machine, it can consistently execute huge quantities and offers flexible scalability. High-quality finish, vast material options and precise tolerances have made CNC a favorable technology for parts that are end-use.

Cost Effectiveness

Since the CNC is so accurate it reduces errors from the manufacturing process and eliminates unnecessary waste. Reduced Piece-Part Price with Higher Quantities. Lower your part cost when you order higher volumes of production parts. Low investment in tooling and preparation costs

Precision

The digital template and autonomous machining of CNC practically eliminate human error and achieve accuracy within 1/1000th. High-quality finish, vast material options and precise tolerances have made CNC a favorable technology for parts that are end-use.

Safety

Any hazardous safety issues, such as a jam or other machining error, is only detrimental to the machine and not a safety issue for the operator, unlike conventional open guard machining.

Selection of materials

This means that, with a few exceptions, standard CNC machines can work with the most common rigid materials used for medical appliances, tools and end-use parts. These include stainless and mild steels, aluminum, titanium and engineering-grade plastics like PEEK.

CNC Milling Services

The CNC milling machine combines the accuracy of computerized controls to rotate and position multi-point cutting tools. CNC milling machines are built for precise manufacturing and repeatability which makes them perfect for rapid prototyping and low-to-high volume production runs. CNC milling is a subtractive manufacturing process. It starts by fixturing a block of metal or plastic material inside the CNC mill. Using G-code, the CNC machine is programmed to rapidly mill out parts from the block of raw material until you have the final shape you want.

Our 3- and 5-axis CNC machines are equipped with various toolsets to maximize efficiency and production speed. For intricate and complex geometries, a 5-axis CNC milling machine will move along three linear axes while simultaneously moving along two rotational axes. CNC mills can also work with a variety of materials from basic aluminum and plastics to more exotic ones like titanium — making them the ideal machine for almost any job. When the run is complete and your required surface finish is applied, parts are ready to be packed and shipped.

CNC Turning

Like CNC mills, CNC lathes can be easily set up for high repeatability, which makes them great for everything from rapid prototyping to low and high-volume production. CNC Turning is a manufacturing process in which bars of material are held in a chuck and rotated while a tool is fed to the piece to remove material to create the desired shape. A turret, with tooling attached is programmed to move to the bar of raw material and remove material to create the programmed result. This is also called “subtraction machining” since it involves material removal.

Our Multi-axis CNC turning centers allow for multiple machining operations to produce cylindrical parts with external and internal features, such as slots, tapers, and threads, etc. making them a cost-effective option for complex geometries that would otherwise require multiple machines or tool changes in a traditional machine. Render fact’s turning capability will allow you to produce highly accurate, high quality parts to meet even your most demanding requirements.

CNC Swiss Machining

Image

A Swiss CNC machine is a modern precision manufacturing machine that can produce extremely small parts quickly and accurately. CNC Swiss turning machines have a sliding headstock that operates with a guide bushing, which provides excellent stability for the bar stock while complex slots, holes, threads and multiple diameters are machined into the workpiece. CNC (computer numerical controls) allow our Swiss turning equipment to be highly automated, providing consistent, precise parts at tight tolerances from the first component off the machine to the final production unit.

Swiss machines have exploded in popularity within precision manufacturing. The combination of high precision and high production volume make Swiss machines a critical piece of equipment for shops that want to produce a large volume of small and intricate parts with little margin for error. Render fact’s Swiss Machining capabilities allow producing high quality and extremely precise parts for industries such as aerospace, electronics, firearms, automotive, hydraulics, and medical.

Brass Parts

Brass machining is used in a wide variety of applications and industries, including medical, electrical, plumbing, and even consumer goods. Companies prefer small brass turned parts and components because it is one of the easiest materials to machine, it is cost efficient, and extremely durable. Machined brass fittings are often used in electronic hardware because of its low strength and weight properties. Additional brass machining applications include engineering, plumbing, and steam work because machined brass fittings have a low friction coefficient and high corrosion resistant properties.

Finishes

Renderfact provides surface finishes on all CNC parts, including anodizing, electroplating, bead blasting, polishing, brushing, powder coating, and painting.

Anodizing improves corrosion resistance, enhancing wear resistance and hardness, and protecting the metal surface. Widely used in mechanical parts, aircraft, and automobile parts, precision instruments, etc.

Bead blasting results in parts with a smooth surface with a matte texture. Used mainly for visual applications and can be followed by other surface treatments.

Powder coating forms a durable, wear resistant and corrosion resistant layer on the surface of parts. Powder coating can be used to apply colors to parts and is compatible with any metal.

Electroplating can be functional, decorative or corrosion-related. Many industries use the process, including the automotive sector, in which chrome-plating of steel automobile parts is common.

Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface, either through physical rubbing of the part or by chemical interference. The process produces a surface with significant specular reflection, but in some materials is able to reduce diffuse reflection.

Brushing is a surface treatment process in which abrasive belts are used to draw traces on the surface of a material, usually for aesthetic purposes. Most commonly applied to aluminum.

Painting the surface of a part improves its aesthetic appearance and can provide brand recognition to consumers. In addition, painting can have a protective effect on parts.
