What is the process of CNC plastic machining parts?

The modern industry is able to produce extremely complex shapes and materials with excellent properties from metals. CNC plastic machining is a process that allows for their dynamic deformation without affecting the integrity of the materials. Plasticity is nothing more than the ability of metals or their alloys to deform. As a result of such treatments, many useful products can be obtained.

These are, among others: sections, bars and pipes, forgings, sheets and wires. These are not all possibilities. There are more advanced methods for obtaining even more complex components used in various industries. What processes help in obtaining the above products or semi-finished products?

Machined plastic components deformation processes

It is possible to change the physical and chemical properties of the product due to plastic working. This will come in handy in various industries. Similar effects can also be seen in the surface and structure properties.

What are the mechanisms that facilitate obtaining CNC machining plastic parts with the desired properties? In the process of such plastic working, deformation mechanisms such as forging, drawing, pressing and even rolling can be implemented.

Forging is a hot or cold process. It consists in industrial physical action on a given material by means of impacts and or pressure. This mechanism is mainly used in production on an industrial scale.

Drawing is used in cold or hot forming

The mechanism is based on the systematic stretching of a given material until the desired effects are obtained. The entire process should take place without the side effect in the form of unnecessary splinters or chips.

Bending of metal or its derivatives should be performed after it is heated or cold. As a result, it will be possible to create a change in the shape of the material without deforming its other dimensions.

CNC machining has revolutionized the manufacturing industry. All because it allows you to reduce production costs, it is an economical and effective method. So let’s find out what it is and what other advantages it has. It will all be included in this text.

Machining on CNC presses – what is it and how does it proceed?

It’s worth starting by deciphering the mysterious abbreviation CNC Computerized Numercial Control and translates as Computer Numerical Control. Therefore, this abbreviation applies to numerically controlled machines.

 It also shows that the machining process is carried out using a computer using modern software. Machining on CNC presses, such as, for example, edge, hydraulic or servo-electric presses is otherwise known as metal forming.

Modern technology used in CNC machines enables the creation of complex shapes and details. The whole process usually takes 3 steps. It begins with computer design, then it is time to process the design, and finally it is completed, i.e.

CNC machining

It is important to remember about such elements as: the type of material to be processed, the technical capabilities of the machine tool, the available tools and the correct selection of parameters at an early stage – of programming the machine. After the device remembers these details, the production of the series will run more efficiently and without unnecessary interruptions.

In each case of plastic working of metals, the size and shape of a given element are permanently changed by exerting pressure on it. During its duration, the structure of the object also changes, and thus its mechanical properties (it has greater durability and strength.)
