Choosing the right CNC motor for your project There are no universal solutions In engineering as every case requires the engineer or designer in order to identify as well as implement the most optimal solution for a specific project’s task, requirements, and budget. Electrical motors are one such area; if the application needs a precise… Continue reading Understanding CNC motors: Stepper vs. Servo Motors
You need an object made, but which is the right tool for the job? 3D printers create objects by extruding and layering up materials in fine increments until the desired shape is complete. CNC machining acts in an opposite process, precisely carving away at raw materials until the desired shape is left. Both processes offer… Continue reading 3D Printing vs CNC Machines
A large number of companies are using Computer Numerical Control (abbreviated as CNC) machines for manufacturing parts from different kinds of material like metal, plastic, composite, ceramic and wood. Like all machines, the manufacturer will give a warranty on the CNC machine, usually for one or more years. They will also provide instructions for maintenance… Continue reading When to repair or replace your CNC machine
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines aren’t a recent invention. History records the first machining process was invented in 1751 using a metal frame to hold a workpiece while it was being worked on. Fast forward to 1952 when MIT researchers developed the Cincinnati Milacron Hydrotel, the first true CNC machine. In 1958 the first patent… Continue reading History of CNC Machines
