DFM Tips for CNC Machining

This series was filmed and edited by Keaton Bowlby

At SendCutSend, we do our CNC machining a little different than your typical shop. In this episode of Cutting Corners with Jim and Jake we walk through SendCutSend’s CNC Machining process and (DFM) Design for Manufacturing tips that will help you get better parts faster and avoid unnecessary costs.

We cover what file type is needed for SendCutSend CNC milling (hint, it’s STEP) and the common design mistakes that we see from customers. Just a few of the things we touch on are internal corner radii, deep pockets, tool reach, collisions, edge breaks, tolerances and more.
