Aluminum CNC Turning Design Guidelines
Aspect
Guideline
Material Selection
Choose appropriate aluminum grade based on strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability.
Feature Size
Maintain minimum feature sizes for accurate machining.
Wall Thickness
Ensure uniform wall thickness to prevent distortion and achieve optimal machining results.
Internal Cavities
Design proper draft angles and radii for easy removal of machined parts from molds.
Fillets and Radii
Add fillets and radii to sharp corners to avoid stress concentration and improve part strength.
Tolerances
Specify necessary tolerances based on part function and machining capabilities.
Surface Finish
Indicate desired surface finish (e.g., smooth, textured) for aesthetic and functional purposes.
Undercuts
Minimize undercuts to simplify machining and prevent complex tooling requirements.
Threads and Holes
Follow thread and hole guidelines for optimal thread engagement and accurate hole dimensions.
Tool Access
Ensure adequate tool access for machining, considering tool lengths and angles.
Avoid Sharp Transitions
Smoothly transition between different features to avoid stress concentration and improve aesthetics.
Test Prototypes
Create prototypes to test design before full-scale production, allowing for adjustments if needed.
