Machining high-hardness materials is one of the more demanding challenges in precision CNC manufacturing. Hardened tool steels, alloy steels, stainless steels, and other high-strength materials generate greater cutting forces and heat than many softer materials. As hardness increases, controlling tool wear, vibration, thermal deformation, and dimensional variation becomes increasingly important. For components requiring tolerances of ... Read more

A well-designed CNC machined part is not only defined by its dimensions, tolerances, and material. The way a component is designed can have a major impact on machining time, tooling requirements, achievable tolerances, surface finish, production cost, and overall manufacturing reliability. This is where Design for Manufacturability (DFM) becomes important. Design for CNC machining means ... Read more

Precision tolerances are the currency of CNC machining. They define how accurately a machined part matches its design specifications. For engineers and product designers, understanding what tolerances are achievable – and at what cost – is essential for designing manufacturable parts that meet functional requirements without unnecessary expense. At Cixin Machinery, we routinely hold tolerances ... Read more

For decades, the manufacturing industry operated under a simple rule: high volume meant low cost, and low volume meant high cost or outright rejection. Many traditional machine shops would not even quote projects under 500 или 1,000 pieces. This created a significant barrier for startups, research teams, and established companies developing new products. Low-volume CNC ... Read more

Selecting the optimal material for a CNC machining project is one of the most critical decisions in the product development process. The right choice balances mechanical performance, machinability, cost, and lead time. The wrong choice can lead to part failure, budget overruns, and delayed launches. At Cixin Machinery, we work with engineers and product designers ... Read more
