When Should You Choose CNC Over 3D Printing?

• High Precision & Tight Tolerances: CNC machining delivers exceptional accuracy, often achieving tolerances as tight as ±0.005 mm, making it ideal for parts requiring precise dimensions and fit.
• Superior Surface Finish: CNC-machined parts typically have smoother surfaces right off the machine, reducing or eliminating the need for additional finishing processes.
• Material Versatility: CNC supports a wide range of materials, including metals (like aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium) and engineering plastics (such as PEEK and Delrin), allowing for selection based on strength, heat resistance, or other specific properties.
• Cost-Effective for Medium to Large Batches: While CNC can handle low-volume production, it's most economical when producing multiple units, as setup costs are distributed over the batch, reducing the cost per part.
• Functional Prototypes & End-Use Parts: CNC machining is suitable for creating parts that will undergo mechanical stress or high temperatures, ensuring durability and performance.
