Quality issues in manufacturing often come down to one thing: precision. When you're producing high-spec components for aerospace, medical, or defence industries, even the smallest deviation can create major problems. That's why more manufacturers are turning to Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) to keep their quality consistent and their processes reliable.

With options like 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis milling, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the technical jargon. In this blog, our Milling Team Leader David demystifies these terms, and reveals the advantanges and disadvantages of each.

When your components are exposed to moisture, chemicals, or saltwater, choosing corrosion-resistant materials is key to ensuring long-term reliability. Selecting the right corrosion-resistant metal helps protect both performance and your bottom line. This guide explores the best corrosion-resistant materials for CNC machining in harsh environments. You'll learn which corrosion-resistant metals offer the most durability, and when each is the most suitable.
