3D printing and CNC CNC processing are relatively common production processes in the field of precision machinery processing. There are similarities and different places, such as CNC processing suitable for mass production. It can create many products in a shorter time, and 3D printing takes a few hours to create a product. Compared with 3D printing, what are the advantages of CNC CNC processing? There are mainly the following points:
1. Surface treatment advantage
CNC machine tools provide better surface smoothness than 3D printing, because the materials will not deform during processing. Rigid materials and cutting movements keep the product together, and there are fewer chances of errors or deformation. The surface of 3D printing is poor. The material is bent, distorted or distorted, because the material is layered heating plastic.
Second, the integrity of the prototype is improved
CNC machine tools do not heated materials and transform them. Compared with 3D printers, the material is stronger and has a better structural integrity. The 3D printer must heated the material to build the expected product. The 3D printer may also need to add a foreign body to the mixture to make the prototype, while the CNC machine does not need it.
Third, the prototype design becomes easier
CNC machine tools are more suitable for prototypes that can withstand structural testing because they are carved from materials. They can also use the exact material construction prototype that will be used to make Z end products.
Structural testing and changes will be more accurate because they use the same materials. This can accelerate the production process, because changes will be design rather than materials. The 3D printer does not create a prototype with structural strength, so they cannot conduct physical testing.
4. Price and trading volume do not represent the price
The cost of 3D printing depends on the volume of the required materials. The number of products in Z does not determine the price of the CNC machine. For large orders, 3D printing does not have cost -effectiveness, and this is the situation where CNC machine tools are booming.
