CNC Machining: Strengths and Applications
CNC machining removes material using cutting tools, making it ideal for:
- Tight tolerances
- Complex 3D geometries
- Thick materials
- Structural components
Best for:
Mechanical assemblies, automotive components, medical devices, construction parts.
Laser Cutting: Strengths and Applications
Laser cutting uses a focused beam to cut flat materials quickly and efficiently.
Advantages include:
- High-speed production
- Clean edges
- Minimal material waste
- Cost-effective for flat parts
Best for:
Sheet metal components, brackets, panels, enclosures.
