FAI vs CMM Inspection: What Medical Device Teams Need to KnowFAI vs CMM Inspection: What Medical Device Teams Need to KnowFAI (First Article Inspection) and CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) inspection serve different purposes in medical CNC manufacturing. FAI is an inspection process used to verify that the first manufactured part meets the approved requirements. A CM
What Documentation Should a Medical CNC Supplier Provide?What Documentation Should a Medical CNC Supplier Provide?A medical CNC supplier should provide documentation showing that the correct material was used, the machined parts meet the approved drawing requirements, and each batch can be traced. Common documents include material certificates, a Certificate of
CNC Machining Ti-6Al-4V for Medical ApplicationsCNC Machining Ti-6Al-4V for Medical ApplicationsCNC machining Ti-6Al-4V for medical applications helps manufacturers produce custom titanium components with complex shapes, accurate dimensions, and a high strength-to-weight ratio. However, successful machining depends on selecting the correct mate
How We Review a CNC Drawing Before QuotingHow We Review a CNC Drawing Before QuotingFor many engineering teams, moving from a CNC prototype to low-volume production is not a simple question of quantity. The more important question is: When is the design ready to move beyond prototyping? Ordering too many prototypes can increase deve

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
