CNC Machining vs. Injection Molding

CNC machining and Injection molding offer different benefits, and the final choice will depend on things like material selection, scale, and speed of production.

Sheet Metal Laser Cutting

Sheet Metal Stamping

Uses CAD file for production
Allows for cheaper design iteration
Rapid part production (not as fast as injection molding)
Cheaper for smaller quantity runs
Best for harder plastics
Larger variety of materials available
Allows for tighter tolerance and surface finishing

Uses custom mold (requires additional lead time and cost)
Expensive to redesign (requires the creation of new mold)
Fastest part production
Cheaper cost per part with high quantity runs
Ideal for producing parts made from softer plastics
Rubber and flexible materials can use this method

MATERIALS

STEEL ALLOYS

Steel alloys are valued for their strength, durability, resistance to high temperatures, and corrosion. What makes this metal so valuable is the addition of alloying elements. A part’s application and desired shelf life will help determine what amounts of additional alloys are required.

ALUMINUM

Aluminum is one of the most commonly machined metals in the manufacturing sector because of its diverse mechanical properties. It is affordable, lightweight yet strong, durable, corrosion-resistant, and easy to shape, making it a popular choice in the aerospace, medical, and military sectors

PLASTIC

High-quality plastic parts are cheap, durable, and lightweight compared to their metal predecessors. Their increase in popularity across countless industries comes from their lower manufacturing costs.
