What Steps Are Taken To Minimize Waste In CNC Machining Processes?

Design optimization, material management, strategic machining, tool maintenance, and waste recycling minimize waste in CNC machining. Waste in CNC machining refers to surplus or residual material produced during the machining process. Waste can take many different forms, including chips, shavings, scraps, and leftover material. The residue left behind after material is removed to form and produce the required pieces or components is known as waste in CNC machining. Reducing waste is crucial for maximi......

What Is a CNC Lathe? Everything You Need to Know About CNC Lathing

(AI-generated) CNC lathes remain one of the most important machine types in modern manufacturing, powering industries from automotive to aerospace with accuracy, speed, and repeatability. If you're researching CNC lathing for your next project—or comparing CNC lathe machines, CNC machine lathes, or even trying to understand what is a CNC lathe—this guide gives you everything you need to make informed decisions. And if you're looking for fast, reliable machining services, JLCCNC provides high-precision......

CNC Plasma Cutting: Machines, Process & Cost Breakdown

What Is CNC Plasma Cutting? (AI-generated) CNC plasma cutter slicing a steel sheet with a bright, controlled plasma arc. Most people don’t realize this, but plasma isn’t just “hot.” It’s hotter than the surface of the sun, literally. So when a CNC plasma cutter fires up, you’re basically steering a controlled piece of miniature lightning through a sheet of steel. No wonder it slices metal like it’s peeling an orange. CNC plasma cutting is the fast, loud, no-nonsense way to slice through metal. Simple ......

CNC Machining Bronze: Techniques, Alloys, and Design Best Practices

What Is CNC Machining Bronze? Close-up of raw bronze billets and machined bronze parts on a clean industrial workbench, showcasing metallic texture in a real machining workshop. CNC machining bronze is exactly what it sounds like, cutting, shaping, and finishing bronze alloys using controlled, high-precision toolpaths. Bronze behaves differently from aluminum or steel: it's heavier, tougher in a good way, and surprisingly stable when you're chasing fine tolerances. Most shops treat it as a premium mat......

Guide to Precision Ceramic CNC Machining: Processes, Parameters & Best Practices

Ceramic CNC Machining: Key Process, Parameters & Tips What Is Ceramic CNC Machining? CNC machine using a diamond tool to cut a ceramic part in a clean industrial workshop. Ceramic CNC machining is the process of cutting, shaping, and finishing advanced ceramics using precision CNC equipment. You see it everywhere high heat, electrical insulation, or extreme wear resistance is required, aerospace seals, semiconductor fixtures, medical implants, cutting tools, all the usual suspects. Ceramics behave not......

9 Sheet Metal Cutting Problems and Solutions

Ask any metal shop foreman, and they’ll tell you, cutting is where problems start if your setup isn’t dialed in. Burn marks, warped sheets, rough edges, and mismatched dimensions don’t just mess up the part, they snowball into delays, rework, and scrap loss. Whether you’re using a high-powered sheet metal cutting machine, a CNC system for metal cutting, or precision laser cutting, one small parameter off can mean the difference between a clean cut and a ruined sheet. In this guide, we’ll break down 9 ......
