CNC machining software is necessary to translate your drawings and CAD models into code. CNC stands for computer numerical control. Meaning that computers read the code and run the manufacturing […]

The demand for stainless steel is increasing at a whopping 5% each year. In 2019, its global production reached over 52 million tons. At present, a wide number of industries […]

Mechanical engineers are supposed to work using only CAD programs and books, aren’t they? No, not really. There are plenty of great resources available online. So we decided to list […]

CAD is an acronym for Computer-Aided Design. It refers to the method of using computer software to create virtual models of proposed products. There is a variety of CAD software […]

Alloy metals can exist in different phases. Phases are physically homogeneous states of an alloy. A phase has a precise chemical composition – a certain arrangement and bonding between the […]

Oxyfuel cutting is one of the available methods to fabricate parts from thick metal plates. Commonly, the upper limit for a manufacturer is around 150 mm but the thicknesses can […]

Flame cutting is a thermal metal cutting method. Its primary advantage is the ability to cut very thick metal plates – usually up to 150 mm. In extreme cases, the […]

CNC machining is a highly utilised subtractive manufacturing technology. Computer numerical control systems offer less need for manpower and higher levels of automation. One of these automated fabrication methods is […]

In short, CNC machining is a metal fabrication method where written code controls the machinery in the manufacturing process. The code determines everything from the movement of the cutting head […]

Metal cutting can be categorised into two – mechanical and thermal cutting. Plasma cutting is a thermal cutting method where ionised gas is used for cutting the metal. It is […]
