Processing plastic parts at HamakyuEPP
As we know, 3D printing and CNC technology have been developing for a long time in the production of parts, including plastic. Each method has advantages and disadvantages and how are they similar and different? Let's find out together

1.CNC machine

A computer connected to a CNC machine will control them to move on the plastic sheet to create the desired shape.


Advantages of CNC machines

1.Excellent repeatability. Once a machine is programmed, the product it produces must be very consistent.

2.Very good accuracy.

3. Economical and shorter time compared to 3D printing in large quantities.

4. Material choices are much larger than those available for 3D printing.

5. Machining can produce different surface finishes.

6. Machined parts have significantly better mechanical properties than printed parts.


Defect

1. CNC machines create geometric limitations compared to 3D printing.

2. A lot of waste is generated, including a large amount of discarded material shavings.

3. Labor costs increase.

4. For many parts, ineffective processing due to incorrect machine settings leads to wasted costs, time, and effort.

2. 3D printing

3D printing is a process in which additives are added to layers of molten plastic until the part is completed.

Application of 3D printing technology

Recognizing the properties of the application is key to manufacturing under 3D printing technology. However, they will not be strong when processed by die casting method. Other essential physical characteristics may also be affected. However, 3D printing technology allows the production of complex models quickly.

Advantages of 3D printing technology

1. Speed: A complex design can be built from a CAD model and rapidly produced in a few hours. This allows design verification before investing in production.

2. Low labor costs: Most 3D printers only require one operator to press a button. The processes are then completely automated.

3. Efficiency: Low investment costs, uses less energy than CNC machines, low carbon emissions.

Defect: 3D printing is not suitable for high-volume production; Durability and other properties are reduced; Strength and other qualities are damaged; Raw material input options are growing, but still limited; Higher raw material costs; There is a size limit on the parts that can be printed.

Choosing the best way to manufacture plastic parts is largely influenced by their physical requirements as well as the quantity needed. Some parts can be made cost-effectively using 3D printing. An order for hundreds of parts is probably the best solution for a CNC machine. If a higher weight product is needed, pressure molding should be considered. Once it takes time to build the mold, it can produce thousands or hundreds of thousands of parts quickly and at optimal cost.

As a leading company in the field of imported plastic supply, we always have pressure molding and extrusion molding plastics. The CNC machine system is fully equipped and can process details with precision and uniformity. You can be completely assured about the quality of plastic parts such as bolts, gears, wear compensation pads, pistons, truck linings, mud scrapers or unprocessed plastic in bars, sheets, rolls...
