CNC PRECISION MACHINING

Machining vs. Stamping 

Machining compares favorably for parts requiring high precision, tight tolerances and high complexity. The stamping process involves pressing flat sheets into a die and is preferred for less precise, less complicated, higher volume parts where cost is an important driver. Machining also is appropriate for a much wider range of metal and non-metallic materials. 

Machining vs. Additive Manufacturing 

Machining can be performed on a wider range of materials and compares favorably for high precision parts needed in larger volumes. Additive Manufacturing, where a part is built up by adding successive layers of materials, excels in small batches and proof concept prototyping, and for parts where porosity and strength are less of a consideration.
