What's The Project Challenge For The Projects?
The main challenge is the product thickness is 60–90mm, and the feature is heterogeneous — all parts need to be assembled and serve a functional purpose.
Our engineering team must use extended cutting tools, along with 5-axis and 3+2 axis CNC milling machines to complete them. When rotating to different angles, all thread holes must be precision-machined to ensure proper assembly.
How To Understand and Make The Parts?
First, we conducted a careful design overview to understand the parts and suggest improvements when possible. Then, we applied Positive Material Identification (PMI) to test the composition of the alloys used in the tools and parts.
The first run of prototypes was CNC machined from aluminum in a 5-step process:
- CNC Program the Machines
- Engineering Review and Improve the Codes
- Mount the Workpiece on the Machine and Adjust the Setup
- Monitor Production and All Functions
- Adjust the Cutting Programs When Necessary
These practices are typically repeated in any CNC machining project; the cutting programs used are unique for each part. We had to consider things like machine type, part geometry, tool type, and raw material.
The prototypes were sent to our model shop and trusted partners for polishing to achieve a reflective and shiny appearance, powder coating for a more durable protective finish, and silver anodizing to create a beautiful clear finish that enhances resistance to corrosion and wear.
How To Develop and Manufacturing CNC Machining Aeroplane Parts
Most aeroplane parts CNC machining includes rapid prototype and volume production. When making 2–4 prototypes, the feature and material require us to specify the material supplier — such as 7075, 7475, 2024, and more.
Aeroplane parts require us to consider the whole process: from single part machining, surface coating, to assembly. This is a very complex process, so our engineering team prepares a detailed DFM report before production.
We are dedicated to rapid prototype and low-volume production for aeroplane parts, providing fast feedback and delivery with high quality. These aeroplane features require us to use 5-axis CNC milling to complete.
When you have aero parts CNC machining inquiries or customized parts requirements, send your inquiry to our email. Our engineering team will discuss every production detail with you — whether you need 1 pc or 50+ pcs, we provide the best cost-effective support.
Tell us your requirement or expectation, and our team will serve it for you. You can start a new project now.
What's The Surface Finishing Can Be Done After CNC Machining?
After most of the aeroplane parts are CNC machined, we provide excellent finishing options:
- Shaft House & Engine Mount Parts: After CNC turning and lathe, we apply polishing and hard anodizing to achieve an aesthetic finish.
- Tube Fittings: Completed with a 3+2 axis CNC machining center, then hard anodized to protect the surface.
