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......

Blind Hole Machining Guide: What Is a Blind Hole, Types of Holes, and Tapping Tips

What Is a Blind Hole? Types of Holes and CNC Hole Machining Explained In CNC machining, few operations challenge process control and tool stability as much as blind hole machining. A blind hole is a hole that terminates at a defined internal depth rather than breaking through the opposite surface. Because the cavity is enclosed at the bottom, chip evacuation, thermal behavior, tool wear, and dimensional accuracy become far more difficult to manage compared to through-hole machining. These constraints ......

Laser Marking Services — Process, Benefits & Applications

Laser marking is an essential technology in today’s precision manufacturing environment. It enables permanent, high-contrast identification on metals, plastics, ceramics, and advanced engineered materials—making it a preferred method for part traceability, branding, and regulatory labeling across countless industries. From industrial components to consumer electronics, the need for durable and high-resolution marks has never been greater. For companies seeking professional-grade results, JLCCNC offers......

From STP File to Finished Part How Online CNC Machining Brings Your CAD Model to Life

Driven by intelligent manufacturing and industrial internet, CNC machining is innovating from traditional mode to digitalization and visualization. As the “international language” for product data exchange, STP file (STEP/STP format) has become the core bridge connecting design and manufacturing due to its high compatibility and integrity. In this article, we will explain how to realize the whole process management from STP files to finished parts through online visualization technology, covering key ......

Rivet Guide: What Is a Rivet and How to Remove Rivets Properly

Rivets are one of the oldest and most reliable methods for joining metal parts. Even with modern welding and adhesives, riveting continues to be valued for its simplicity, strength, and consistency — especially when heat or distortion must be avoided. But what is a rivet, and how does it function in sheet metal assembly? A rivet is a cylindrical fastener with a head on one end and a tail on the other. When inserted into aligned holes, the tail is deformed using a riveter, creating a permanent mechanic......

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 ......
