Do you think CNC machining is just loading a drawing and pressing "go"? Think again. While  5-Axis CNC machines are marvels of automation, the difference between a good part and an amazing part often lies in subtle, easily overlooked details. Here are 10 critical factors that might be you ignore before.

The Marking Dilemma

In manufacturing, part identification not only for appearance, but also for achieving specific functions such as traceability codes, safety labels, and branding, all of which impact the product lifecycle, compliance, and user experience. Therefore, we have to choose silkscreen or laser marking process from the cost, durability, material compatibility, and scalability, etc. Sometimes a small mistake of the marking can even lead to a rejected a batch of parts, supply chain delays and a 200% cost over. This blog teaches you how to choose between these two processes based on our factory data.

Introduction: The Critical Crossroads

In precision engineering, selecting the right aluminum alloy can mean the difference between optimal performance and catastrophic failure. 6061 and 7075 – two of the most widely used alloys – sit at opposite ends of the aluminum spectrum. While 6061 offers versatility and economy, 7075 delivers aerospace-grade strength. Yet misapplying either can lead to costly redesigns, premature failures, or bloated budgets.
