For precise and cost-effective CNC routing, follow key design guidelines like optimizing tool diameter, minimizing thin walls, and ensuring proper fixturing. These tips help streamline production, reduce waste, and improve part quality, making your projects faster and more efficient.
| Guideline | Specification |
| File Preparation | Use vector files (DXF/SVG) with closed paths for clean CNC Routing results. |
| Part Orientation | Align parts to maximize material yield and simplify the CNC Routing path. |
| Minimum Inside Radius | Maintain a 0.125″ (3.2mm) radius for smooth and stable CNC Routing cuts. |
| Tool Diameter Limits | Keep tool diameter under 1/3 material thickness for accurate CNC Routing precision. |
| Minimize Thin Walls | Maintain at least 1/4″ (6mm) wall thickness to prevent vibration during routing. |
| Nesting Clearance | Leave at least one tool diameter space between nested parts for structural integrity. |
| Kerf & Compensation | Factor tool radius into designs for accurate dimensions and CNC Routing cuts. |
| Fixturing & Tabs | Use tabs to stabilize parts; ensure secure fixturing for CNC Routing. |
| Avoid Over-Constraining | Simplify part geometry to ensure stable and cost-effective CNC Routing setup. |
At Yicen Precision, we offer a variety of CNC routing surface finishes designed to meet the aesthetic and functional needs of your parts. Whether you need a smooth, polished finish or added protective coatings, we have the right option for your project.
Rough finish is ideal with bigger bits and higher feed rates and results in a more textured surface.
Fine bits will also produce a smooth finish when the speed is lower to reduce roughness in order to produce a clean surface that is polished.
Routine sanding of tools after routing creates a more homogeneous look and finishes wood and plastic, which is preferable.
The finish type can be matte finishes which are produced by slowing cutting speed or particular tooling to produce a slight non-reflective surface.
The Bead blasting involves the use of abrasives such as sand or glass beads to produce a plain, rough surface on the metals and plastics.
Polishing is a finishing process of coating a surface, especially an acrylic, metal, and plastic surface, with finer abrasives to give it a mirror-like polish.
Flame polishing is mainly applied to acrylic and plastics in which heat is used to flatten and give the surface a gloss to eliminate tool marks.
Depending on the process, the anodizing process improves corrosion resistance and gives aluminum a matte or a glossy finish.
