Manufacturing CNC Machined Parts - From Raw Material to Product

#cncmachining #hubs In this video we'll go over the different process steps CNC machined parts go through while being manufactured. At the end of the video, you'll understand the CNC lifecycle and apply it to your own product development process. We'll discuss G-code programming, loading the blank, deburring, surface finishes, and more.


00:00 Intro to this video on the process steps of a CNC machined part

00:18: The design. First, we touch upon the design. This needs to be optimised as much as possible before it goes into production.

00:44 Coding. Second, creating the G-code into the CNC machine.

00:56 Loading material/blank into the machine. Third, it's time to place the material, or blank in the CNC machine.

01:28 Machining. Next, the CNC Machining itself. Here we go over tool changes and the different types of machines to consider.

02:00 Cooling. After that, we quickly explain the need for cooling during the CNC machining process.

02:32 Deburring. Deburring is up next. Here, we explain why deburring is needed and how this can be done.

03:03 Quality control. Second last is quality control. We'll discuss manual and automatic quality control and it's pros and cons.

03:50 Surface finishes. Finally, surface finishes. here we explain why surface finish consideration could be important for your design.

04:21 Outro
