The answer is 3D printing will not replace CNC machining in the foreseeable future.

The reason is they actually have different purposes which complement each other.

3d printing vs cnc machining china

3D PRINTING
3D printing is a form of add-on or additive manufacturing.

It makes use of parts being produced layer by layer with substances such as plastic or metal powders, plastic filaments or resins.

Its energy source is either a laser or a heated extruder which creates decks or layers of these materials by solidifying them to finally form the finished part.

The joy of 3D printing is in your ability to create freedom of shape, its accuracy, speed, and its ability to cut on costs and to decrease the weight of certain parts.

It is also applicable in several industries.

3D printing has various advantages over traditional printing but its technology has not yet been developed for mass production.

CNC MACHINING
CNC machining represents subtractive manufacturing.

Theoretically: this means to deduct from an original piece.

The process starts with a block of material (called a blank);

Then;

CNC machining starts to cut away material until the finished part is created.

Cutters and spinning tools are important parts of the procedure to shape and mold the original piece.

Somewhat like sculpture or pottery.

CNC machining is best for low to mid volume production and has splendid dimensional accuracy.

It works well with many materials including wood, metals, and plastics.

CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control.

WHAT 3D PRINTING AND CNC MACHINING HAVE IN COMMON?

Both are compatible with a wide variety of materials.

These include plastics and metals.

China 3D printing Is more adaptable to plastics like ABS, nylon, polycarbonate. and acrylic for now;

but some companies have sought to introduce technology that will allow more usage of metals in 3D printing.

Some advanced 3D printers have the capacity for jobs on sand and ceramics.

CNC machining is more in tune with metals;

especially aluminum, stainless steel and titanium,

but companies have also sought the adaptability of plastics to CNC machining.

3D PRINTING AND CNC MACHINING WORK TOGETHER

There are materials such as super alloys or TPU (flexible material) which cannot be made with CNC milling,Cnc Turning,etc

but should be created with 3D printing.

After the super alloy has been produced, the deductive or sculpting magic of CNC will then work its way through the material.

CAN WE COMBINE THE TWO?
Yes.

There are companies now that are attempting to merge the great qualities of 3D printing and CNC machining into one dual purpose

equipment.

The Zmorph 2.0 SX is introduced as a CNC equipment but is also a 3D printer.

It has 3 axes and a print head because of its interchangeable heads.

Then there is Mooz which is marketed as a 3 in 1 3D printer.

THE FUTURE

3D printing is simpler.

No operator is required when the file is prepared, and the part orientation, fill and supports are executed.

CNC machining needs a skilled machinist to choose usage of tools.

cutting path, and repositioning of the material.

CNC machining requires cleanup after use because it cuts and sculpts away from the material until the desired form is established.

Whereas 3D printing doesn’t leave any mess behind because all the parts created are needed because they are all new productions.

Both 3D printing and CNC machining will be here to stay.

The former is in the creation of new products (additive property);

while the latter is in the creation of something out of something.

3D printing is more proficient with plastics. sand and ceramics while CNC machining does wonders with both stainless steel or metals.

Technology will keep in evolving until the two technologies will be merged and they will be adaptable to mass production.

The two processes now are just confined to low and mid production projects.

But the future of SLS 3D printing or fdm 3d printing or SLM 3D Printing is much brighter because costs from its operations have become even cheaper than third world cheap labor.

And the expenses keep decreasing with the potential of a 3D printer in most homes in the not so distant future.

3D printing can also make the costs of commercial goods much cheaper because it can create duplicates of these products.

Thus, it has become competition.

Also known as machining is a process that uses rotary cutters to shape material in a way that will benefit the end user. In most cases, this is a process that removes material from the stock in order to produce the necessary part. There are a wide variety of cnc machining operations that are available, some of which provide larger parts and others that provide smaller parts for mass production. Of all the different processes used in industry, it is one of the most common, and is a necessity for almost any other industry because of the variety of parts that can be produced.

Although there are number of different types of equipment that can be used for machining, one of the more per sites is known as precision CNC machining,. CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control, which uses a computer to control the milling device as it is working. In its more basic application, it works to remove material from the stock piece along a single axis. This is often done for engraving applications or for use in diesinking. CNC machining may also be combined with a number of different types of tools, such as a bull nose cutter. When used in conjunction with these other tools, it can improve the precision of the milling device while at the same time, maintaining the same working speed.

Be-cu.com have over 20 years’ experience in die casting, and Be-cu.com can guarantee you of high-quality casts. Be-cu.com will be your partner for all your machining,metal forging and finishing requirements. Get in touch with use to discuss your needs.

Some precision CNC machining, devices work beyond the single axis that was already discussed. This allows for more control over the milling process and for more dynamics in the finished product. Some of the more advanced milling machines include the multi-axis machine. This is a machine which includes multiple accesses to allow for a work piece that is mounted horizontally to be rotated and worked from a wide variety of angles. It helps to add dynamics to the precision CNC machining device and offers more to the end-user.

Even though Be-cu.com have the experience in machining of die castings that are produced at out foundry, Be-cu.com also deal with machining and finishing components that have been cast by other processes that Be-cu.com cannot manage at out our facility. Be-cu.com can also provide you with machining services from solid or extrusion. It does not matter the volume that you require, Be-cu.com can deliver.

The metal casting technology uses steel molds and cast iron that enables the zinc and aluminum castings to be manufactured more cheaply and accurately in comparison to sand castings. The tooling costs are a fraction of those required when dealing with pressure casting. The rapid chilling allows for quality mechanical properties while the non-turbulent filling guarantees the manufacture of castings that can be treated with heat with little porosity. Be-cu.com have the experts and experience to ensure that your designs are optimized. This will allow for the elimination of components that would add unnecessary costs to the gravity casting. The innovative press trimming functions of the tool also minimize finishing costs. Be-cu.com also provide solidification and finishing simulations through the use of software and computer technology.

Be-cu.com have a variety of casting machine that is run by microprocessor controlled hydraulics. This automates the movement of the die, leading to an improvement in consistency and the production speed. The machine also has hydraulic movement and tilt pouring that can go up to four axes. Be-cu.com also have facilities where Be-cu.com produce sand cores. This is used in creating of complex internal shapes.
