Justway, a leading provider of metal 3D printing services, has expanded its offerings by incorporating CNC (Computer Numerical Control) manufacturing services. With this new addition, the company covers an even wider spectrum of needs in the manufacturing of metal parts, including titanium, stainless steel, aluminum, and tool steel.
The Combination of 3D Printing and CNC
Sometimes, customers prefer their metal products to be manufactured in a more traditional way for various reasons, such as precision, cost, mechanical properties, and reduction of post-processing. Justway offers on-demand CNC milling, wire EDM cutting, and turning services, allowing customers to opt for a subtractive approach instead of an additive one for manufacturing their metal parts.
3D printing offers great advantages in creating complex geometries and manufacturing unique parts or small runs with advanced shapes, but it has limitations in terms of cost per unit and post-processing times. For larger productions or parts with less geometric complexity, CNC manufacturing can be a more efficient and cost-effective option.
Services and Post-Processing Options
Justway not only offers CNC manufacturing services but also provides a full range of post-processing treatments to customize and enhance the parts. These include:
- Anodizing
- Bead blasting
- Powder coating
- Spray painting
- Smooth machining
- Chemical or physical treatments
Customers can also opt for part marking processes, such as screen printing or laser engraving, and have the option to receive standard or more detailed quality inspections, such as CMM inspection or with a report.
"Treatments like anodizing and bead blasting with anodization allow achieving corrosion-resistant finishes with a touch of color, adding even more value to the produced parts."
Available Materials
Justway offers a wide variety of materials to meet diverse manufacturing needs, including metals such as:
- Aluminum
- Stainless steel
- Brass
- Copper
- Titanium
- Tool steel
They also offer machining options in plastics, such as ABS, polycarbonate, nylon, polypropylene, POM, PTFE (Teflon), PMMA (acrylic), polyethylene, and PEEK. Additionally, they work with specialized materials like bakelite, FR4, rubber, and carbon fiber, allowing them to guarantee precision and reliability in a wide range of applications.
Instant Quoting for CNC Services
Just like with its 3D printing services, Justway offers an instant quoting tool for its CNC services, available on its website. Users can upload STEP or IGES files, enabling them to obtain an accurate quote for part machining. This tool is especially useful for getting quick prices and evaluating lead times before placing an order.
One of the standout features of the tool is the option to apply discounts for large quantity orders. For example, when requesting a quote for 50 units of the same part, users can obtain a 50% reduction in the per-unit price. For orders over 100 units, a custom quote is required.
Quoting Process
Once the user has uploaded the files and specified the details, they simply need to click the submit request button to generate the RFQ (Request for Quote), enter the necessary data, make the payment, and await delivery of their parts in fast turnaround times.
Conclusion
Justway's on-demand CNC services perfectly complement its metal 3D printing offering, providing customers with a complete solution for their manufacturing needs. Whether it's complex parts manufactured via 3D printing or mass production with traditional CNC techniques, Justway offers a comprehensive platform to obtain high-quality custom parts.
