Design for Manufacturability (DFM) Guide: Optimize for CNC Machining And 3D Printing
Introduction: The $5,000 Mistake We Caught in 5 Minutes At Samshion Rapid, a client once sent us a complex aluminum housing design. It looked perfect on screen. But our engineers spotted it immediately: a beautiful, completely un-machinable internal corner. Fixing it before production took a 5-minute design tweak. If we had machined it as-is, it would have […]
Understanding Surface Finish Options for CNC Machined Parts
When it comes to CNC machining services, precision is only half of the story. The other half lies in the surface finish—how the part looks, feels, and performs in real-world conditions. Surface finishes not only improve the visual appeal of CNC machined parts but also enhance durability, corrosion resistance, and functionality. If you’re developing a […]
