3+2 Axis CNC Machining: How It Works and Why It Matters?

Image
  If you need China CNC machining services , look no further than HLH Prototypes. We offer CNC machining for rapid prototyping and end-use manufacturing to provide precise parts quickly and cost-effectively. The process starts with a billet or solid block of material, and we cut away at it precisely with a series of drill bits and tools to form the part according to your design. As seasoned machinists, we offer a range of axis machines to meet every need. 3+2 machining is a specialized technique that combines the precision of 3-axis milling with the flexibility of 5-axis machining. In this process, a cutting tool is tilted and locked in a fixed position while the worktable rotates on two axes. This is distinct from full 5-axis machining, where the tool rotates continuously. 3+2 machining is also known as 'positional 5-axis machining' due to the fixed position of the cutting tool. In this blog, we share how 3+2 axis machining works and its importance to your manufacturing ...

Key Benefits of Using Plastic Molding for Pallet Production

Image
  Plastic pallets help companies boost productivity and efficiency in transporting, storing, and organizing goods. These rigid structures are critical to the logistics and supply chain industry, offering many benefits over pallets made from wood and other materials. The way they're made makes them cost-effective, lightweight, hygienic, and incredibly durable. At HLH Prototypes, we manufacture these products using injection molding in China . Plastic injection molding has revolutionized how pallets are made and used. It enhances efficiency, reduces waste, and optimizes accuracy. If your business specializes in making plastic pallets and you want a quick and reliable way to manufacture them, read on to discover how injection molding can benefit your production runs. Increased rigidity Injection molding can deliver plastic parts with high rigidity. This is ensured by a stable clamping system and stress analysis, promoting sustained parallelism, precision, tilting, and reduced m...

FDM Rapid Prototyping: A Closer Look at Fused Deposition Modeling

Image
  Are you interested in fused deposition modeling or FDM 3D printing? It’s among the additive manufacturing technologies we offer here at HLH Prototypes. Explaining FDM 3D printing Fused deposition modeling is one of the most common and versatile 3D printing technologies. It works by building parts with plastic filament extruded through a nozzle, ensuring it’s laying on the build chamber layer per layer. This allows FDM 3D printing to create parts with complex geometries. That said, the process has restrictions that require using support materials for overhanging features. At HLH Prototypes, we take the time to remove these supports during post-processing to ensure clean and accurate parts. We can finish FDM 3D-printed parts to a higher standard using various post-processing techniques, such as polishing and sanding. When to use fused deposition modeling FDM can build functional parts and prototypes from a range of materials, so we recommend it for fast and cost-effecti...
