Is CNC Cutting a Fit?

When CNC Cutting is Right for Your Project

In general CNC cutting may be a good choice for the following situations:

  • Rapid prototyping: No hard tooling means small volumes can be produced quickly and less expensively than methods that require hard tooling.
  • Material waste: Designs that nest well can provide less material waste than die cutting and may help reduce your material cost.
  • Handles small or large parts well: Great for parts that aren’t a fit for die cutting because they are too small or narrow, or are too large for the die press.
  • Short lead times: If you need your parts faster than hard tooling solutions can turn them around, CNC cutting may be the right fit.

Custom Gasket Production

Get custom-engineered gaskets designed specifically for your application's unique requirements, manufactured with tight tolerances for perfect sealing every time.

High or Production Part Volumes

Convert raw materials into precise components with our CNC cutting capabilities that deliver consistent quality at production volumes.

Quick-Turn Prototypes

CNC Cutting is a common choice for quick-turn prototype work since no hard tooling is required and parts can be turned around quickly.

Large Format Parts

CNC Cutting is useful in creating large format parts, as the footprint of the machine offers flexibility, and reducing material waste through part-nesting.

What are your standard tolerances?

Keep in mind that the ultimate tolerances we can meet on a particular design are highly dependent upon the material.

How much does CNC Cutting cost?

The next consideration in what is beginning to feel a bit like a mile long list is your cost. CNC cutting has not traditionally been thought of as the “lowest cost” manufacturing process, but, depending on the situation it can be.

Part nesting: One such instance where CNC cutting can reduce costs is through part nesting. If your part design can be nested in such a way that CNC cutting allows us to produce more parts from the same size sheet of material, then it can reduce material costs significantly.

Small volumes: Because there are no hard tooling costs with CNC cutting, if volumes are low enough, it can be cheaper to produce your parts with digital cutting than die cutting (where there is the additional hard tooling cost to build the die).

Changing designs: During rapid prototyping, design changes are happening frequently. CNC cutting allows a lot of flexibility to update and adjust the part design to be able to quickly test variations in the design. You also won’t have to pay hard tooling each time there is a change to the design.
