Punching has been very helpful in providing holes in sheet materials. After all, this forming process utilises a punch press that forces the punch through the workpiece by creating a hole. Some examples of sheet materials that can undergo the punching process include sheet metals, paper, vulcanised fibre, and some types of plastic sheets. Principles […]

Machining is a type of material removal process that creates specific products on a part by removing and cutting away any unwanted material from the workpiece. This process is typically done and performed by computer numerical control (CNC) milling machines or CNC turning machines. Other pieces of equipment that can conduct machining include drill presses […]

Steel is commonly used in a wide variety of applications that require framework strengthening and structural support. Roads, buildings, bridges, airports, and other infrastructures are often built with steel because of its reliable strength and fracture resistance. Aside from the construction industry, steel is also used maximised in manufacturing appliances, equipment, and tools that are […]

Most manufacturing industries use tooling products as part of their daily processes. These tools are intended to cut, remove, or any other actions that will be applied to certain areas in a workpiece before proceeding to the next steps of their whole fabricating process. One factor that affects their quality is the material used in […]

Machining processes like drilling, turning, or mining are all available to effectively create and produce hard materials, especially the metal ones. However, most of them cannot produce intricate and sophisticated parts and components that are needed for certain applications. Fortunately, one known machining process that can create intricate metal parts or components is electrical discharge […]

One metal fabrication process that is frequently used by numerous manufacturers is punching. Punching basically removes any scrap slug from sheets of metal or metal workpieces whenever the punch material enters the punching die. Holes and openings are typically left whenever the punching process is done. Punching’s ability to leave and produce different hole shapes […]

Precision machining is a type of technical manufacturing that helps create and design parts, tools, machines, and other hardware intended for modern manufacturing. Products of precision machining are intended to maintain process controls and tolerances even under tight environments and specifications. This type of manufacturing process is often utilised in creating small parts of a […]

A lot of industries are now utilising CNC machining since it only reduces manual labour works and overall costs. This process also produces precise, high-quality products under a short time, which makes it more efficient than its manual counterparts. This efficiency even extends to the fact that CNC machining can be used in different applications. […]

Different industries have been utilising various types of punches for their works for a long time now. Punches are usually made from a hard metal rod with a pointy tip at one end and a dulled end at the other. They are often used in conjunction with other tools like hammer and chisel to cut […]

Once upon a time, professional engineers would research every detail of a piece so that they can craft it perfectly. After all, these engineers have the main task of optimising complex processes or systems by developing, improving, and implementing integrated systems of people, knowledge, and many more. While professionals are still needed to do the […]
