CNC Components: A Practical Guide to Design, Materials, Tolerances and Manufacturing
CNC components sit quietly behind a huge amount of modern engineering - inside analytical instruments, automation cells, medical devices, aircraft subassemblies, energy systems, and high-end consumer products. The reason is straightforward: CNC machining offers a...
CNC Brass Parts: A Practical Guide to Materials, Design, Tolerances, Finishing, and Cost
CNC brass parts are everywhere once you start looking: electrical terminals, valves, pneumatic fittings, knobs, threaded inserts, instrument components, decorative hardware, and countless “small but critical” pieces that keep assemblies working. Brass machines well,...
Machining Magnesium: A Practical Guide to Safe, Accurate, High-performance Parts
Machining magnesium can feel like a cheat code when you need lightweight parts with excellent machinability. Magnesium alloys are among the easiest structural metals to cut, often allowing high material removal rates, good surface finish, and shorter cycle times...
CNC Machining Costs: A Practical Guide to What You’ll Pay
CNC machining costs can feel mysterious because the final price is the sum of lots of small decisions: geometry, material, tolerances, setup time, programming effort, inspection requirements, finishing, and the simple reality of how long the machine is cutting metal...
Component Manufacturers: How to Choose, Specify and Scale Quality Parts
Component manufacturers sit at the quiet centre of almost every product you can name - from industrial sensors and medical devices to aerospace subsystems and energy infrastructure. When they perform well, your production line runs smoothly, your field returns stay...
Machined Plastic Parts: A Practical Guide to Materials, Design, Quality and Performance
Machined plastic parts sit in a useful middle ground between metal components, injection moulded plastics, and additive manufacturing. They can be produced quickly from engineering-grade polymers, hold tight tolerances when designed sensibly, and offer material...
What is AS9100? The Aerospace Quality Standard Explained for CNC Machining & Assembly
What is AS9100? AS9100 is the quality management system (QMS) standard used across the aviation, space and defence supply chain. It builds on ISO 9001 and adds aerospace-specific requirements that help organisations control risk, manage configuration (revision...
AS9100 Machine Shop: How to Find the Right CNC Machining Partner
AS9100 machine shop selection isn’t just a procurement decision, it’s a risk decision. In aerospace and defence supply chains, one late delivery, one uncontrolled process change, or one incomplete set of records can trigger line-stops, rework, customer escapes, or...
AS9100 Machining: Building Confidence in Aerospace-Grade CNC Manufacturing
AS9100 machining buyers are not just looking for a CNC machine shop, they are looking for a controlled, auditable and repeatable process that can survive aerospace-level scrutiny. AS9100 certification is the quality backbone behind many of the most demanding...
