Precision machining is a growing trend among machine shops and experienced machinists, and it’s not a lost manufacturing process. We know the importance of precision machining in manufacturing precision parts; components of many tools and applications in various industries.
Precision machining has overcome the traditional methods and is estimated to surpass $94.42 billion by approx 2026. Every industry relies on machined parts using precision machining to:
● Create custom machined parts from raw materials
● Helps to fabricate metals into individual components
● Machine cast parts straight from the mould
But what is the reason precision machining is so effective? How does it help you to make better-machined parts?
This article helps to identify how precision machining is better for creating the products, and how your company can use it for high volume requirements.
Let’s Begin With The Benefits Of Precision Machining:
#1. Fast turnaround time
The turnaround time gets reduced during precision machining because of the use of advanced software capabilities. Now, it’s easier for the machinists to go from a design to the finished product in an easy way.
Using a precision manufacturing process reduces the manual work. It helps to reduce the design time, which use to take months now can be completed within weeks.
Our experts understand our clients and works towards their specifications. Our team offers turnaround services and delivers quality machined parts according to the client’s deadline. That is why our service adds value to our clients in various industries.
We produce accurately machined parts with high tolerances by leveraging precision machining that helps us to perform repetitive tasks. We ensure that our components remain consistent even during the larger runs.
Another advantage of precision machining is that it requires little or no supervision and works non-stop with the same accuracy in replicating the same machined part.
#2. Ideal for prototype designs
The prototype design is necessary before finalizing the manufacturing of the machined parts. Prototypes are designed with the product specifications.
Our team provides prototype machining services for smaller and independent manufacturers where the companies are developing new products. Our experts believe in high-quality parts, made right the first time. We deliver prototypes that match the design intent.
No company wants to take the risk when they are producing a high volume of machined parts. Therefore prototype design testing is an ideal thing to do.
At Machining Design Association, we produce parts with our subtractive manufacturing process. With us providing parts from prototype to high production it becomes a seamless transition. We make manufacturing simplified with cost-effective options aligned to the customer’s needs.
#3. Less labor and it lowers costs
Since precision machining provides a fast turnaround time and most of the work is done by the CNC machine, there is less need for manual work. It improves the reliability that is crucial in the manufacturing process.
It’s common sense that there would be less chance of human error during the process when there is less human input in the process. But you cannot neglect the human presence during the precision machining process. The machine shops require skilled employees during high volume production.
It helps the company to reduce the number of laborers that are necessary to work on the machinery. It reduces the overall cost of the parts that is manufactured.
Most industries require tight tolerances for their precision machined parts, and it is a costly manufacturing process depending on the machines used. With the implementation of precision machining, manufacturing machined parts with high tolerances has become affordable.
#4. Precision machining can handle most complex projects
Precision machining takes care of complex projects that are of high volume. Most of our clients know that at MDA, we work on complex projects that allow our clients to have access to
Low-cost production.
Precision machining helps to deliver 3-D dimensional shapes that are complex and not possible with traditional machining methods. Plus the precision machining has the repeatability capability allowing companies to produce the material with no defects and variation. These companies include medical industries, aerospace industries and oil and gas industries.
Reasons highlighting the importance of precision machining in the machine shops
● Ideal for qualitative and quantitative production: This is possible with the help of precision machining. The machine shop’s machinists can produce components in high volume while maintaining the quality.
● Helps to stay ahead of the competition: There is competition across all areas in machining. A machine shop must do everything possible to differentiate oneself from their competition. Making sure that the latest equipment is used, the most up to date software and having qualified personal. Not all machine shops are the same.
Summing It Up
Precision machining is a very important aspect in any machine shop. In providing quality parts at very competitive prices; our customers, have a competitive advantage. Knowing that parts will arrive on-time and without defect, assures that their end user will be happy. It takes so many parts to keep the gears turning. If one part is defective or not available, the wheel will stop turning. Machining Design will partner with you to assure that the precision machine parts that you order will be to your satisfaction.
