5 Common Tolerance Mistakes Engineers Make Before CNC Production5 Common Tolerance Mistakes Engineers Make Before CNC ProductionBy Selina Sun | Marigold Rapid Tolerance is one of the most important parts of a CNC drawing. But tighter does not always mean better. In CNC machining, an overly tight tolerance can increase machining time, inspection requirements and production cos
Why CNC Prototype Quotes Vary Between ManufacturersWhy CNC Prototype Quotes Vary Between ManufacturersBy Selina Sun | Marigold Rapid Have you ever sent the same CAD file to several CNC manufacturers and received very different quotes? This is common when sourcing CNC prototypes. A quote can vary significantly even when every supplier receives the sam
How to Reduce CNC Machining Lead Time Without Compromising QualityHow to Reduce CNC Machining Lead Time Without Compromising QualityHow to Reduce CNC Machining Lead Time Without Compromising Quality By Selina Sun | Marigold Rapid For engineers and procurement teams, CNC machining lead time can directly affect product launches, testing schedules, and production planning. But reduc
When to Choose Swiss-Type CNC vs Standard 3-Axis MachiningWhen to Choose Swiss-Type CNC vs Standard 3-Axis MachiningSmall precision CNC parts are foundational components for medical devices, consumer electronics, aerospace equipment, and industrial automation systems. For mechanical design engineers and manufacturing buyers, choosing between Swiss-type CNC machining
DFM Tips for CNC Threads: Avoid Common Thread Machining FailuresDFM Tips for CNC Threads: Avoid Common Thread Machining FailuresCNC thread features are essential for custom precision machined parts used in industrial, medical, and aerospace assemblies. However, poor CNC thread design and incorrect DFM practices are one of the top causes of broken taps, thread stripping, scrap
Deburr Methods For CNC Parts: Pros & Cons Of Each ApproachDeburr Methods For CNC Parts: Pros & Cons Of Each ApproachCNC machining burrs and sharp edges are one of the most common yet overlooked causes of assembly failure, surface finish defects, and inconsistent part quality. Unremoved CNC burrs lead to scratched mating surfaces, unsafe handling conditions, thread
How Tool Access Affects Feasibility For 3-Axis vs 5-Axis CNC MachiningHow Tool Access Affects Feasibility For 3-Axis vs 5-Axis CNC MachiningMost CNC machining cost overruns and manufacturability issues stem from one overlooked design factor: CNC tool access. Many mechanical engineers design complex part geometries without considering physical tool reach, vertical machining limits, and to
4 Common CNC Materials: Machining, Tolerance & Surface Finish Guide4 Common CNC Materials: Machining, Tolerance & Surface Finish GuideMost CNC machining defects, tolerance deviations, and poor surface finishes happen for one simple reason: manufacturers apply the same machining parameters to every material. Aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, and PEEK are the four most common CNC
