CNC machining and 3D printing are both processing technologies that have received much attention in recent years. CNC is subtractive manufacturing and 3D printing is additive manufacturing. Although these two processing technologies are very different at the production level, they are both used in production. Before the product model is used for verification, how should companies choose between the two mature model production processes, 3D printing and CNC processing, if they want to make prototypes? 3D printing can process multiple parts at one time, directly import 3D data maps, and generate data through calculations. Computer data can be directly transmitted to the machine for printing. During this period, no personnel is required to operate, only the operating room is constant temperature and humidity throughout the day. Read more
