A CNC model is a CNC prototype created before a product is produced, also known as a model. According to different materials, it can be divided into aluminum CNC models and plastic CNC models. With the development of modern industry, more and more industries are paying attention to investing in research and development. To adapt to rapid market changes, it is necessary to advance and accelerate the product development phase using the CNC model. How do you create a CNC model? Here are some tips to help.
Preparation for a CNC model
1. Prepare for 2D Drawing and 3D Model
For 2D and 3D files, the design can be created using various tools such as Illustrator, Rhinoceros, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, SketchUp, etc.) All files must be scaled to the actual size and units that
2. Determine the material
Different materials are used in different industries. It is important to choose the right material for your CNC model. When selecting material for a specific application, several factors must be considered. The most important include:
The. Mechanical function or appearance test
The intended use of the products influences the final material used. If a mechanical function is to be performed, the material may need to have greater strength. If it is only used for optical testing, there are more options.
B. Crowd
Quantity is one of the most important factors in determining the material. Different processes are suitable for different quantities, and different processes use different materials. Take aluminum, for example: die casting uses ADC12, while CNC milling uses Al 6061. If the quantity is 2,000 parts, die casting is much faster and saves money. In this situation, the ADC12 is an option.
w. Cost

3. Determine the surface finish
Various surface treatments are used in CNC modeling. Surface treatment is the formation of a surface layer with special properties on the product surface of a material by chemical or physical means. Surface treatment improves the appearance, corrosion resistance, hardness, wear resistance, strength and other properties of a part.
Some common finishes for CNC machined parts can be considered, such as: For example, rough machining, anodizing, powder coating, sandblasting and painting, etc.
Choose a supplier for your CNC model
Consider the following questions before making a decision.
(1) Qualifications
A qualified company pays more attention to quality control and customer satisfaction.
(2) Duration of establishment
The longer a factory has been founded, the more experience it has.
(3) Technicians and equipment
Technical equipment and qualified personnel are important components of a CNC factory and have a significant influence on the smooth operation of the CNC factory.
(4) Does the CNC factory experience meet your needs?
Having a supplier specialized in your needs brings many benefits. This allows you to expand your knowledge, accelerate your product development and increase your professionalism.
(5) Customer service
Dealing with customer complaints is a central point in evaluating suppliers. Making mistakes is not a bad thing, it's more a matter of how you handle the mistake.
