This "beauty" is our Part of the Week. Let's take a look!
WHAT'S THIS?
We often talk about 5-axis machining and the capabilities today truly are amazing. But we don't always show how it all comes together to create a complicated part. Let's fix that.
THAT'S COOL!
Our customer works in the food industry, so Delrin POM plastic (Polyoxymethylene) is an excellent, food-safe choice.
This unassuming block of plastic is destined for greatness.
Of course, before we start cutting, we create the CAM program to make sure the results will match the customer's drawings. Here's a short video snippet.
But wait, there's more.
Next we see the program in action.
We promised you more. This is more.
And here is the final result.
Each hole angle is precious and unique. Like Polyoxymethylene snowflakes.
For the particular application demanded by our customer's own customer, part requires each hole to have a different angle which is seen in the picture above.
Traditional 3-axis machining techniques cannot accomplish this, but today's 5-axis machines (plus EMI's talented machinists!) enable previously impossible geometries, on demand.
If you need a complicated part moved from CAD to completion, reach out and start a discussion with EMI's team.
ABOUT POW!
Each week we will feature something we've been working on. We hope you'll find these posts informative.
