🔬Product Technology Development Trend

Have you recently come up with a custom part design, or do you need to manufacture a part with special requirements? If so, the next steps are to hire a manufacturer, send over your 3D computer-aided design (CAD) file, receive a fair product quote, and manufacture your product, right? Not exactly.

The truth is that a lot can go wrong if your product is not correctly designed for manufacturing from the onset. For instance, you might incur huge manufacturing costs or defects that render your product useless. Therefore, there are several things and design tips that you must first understand before creating your 3D CAD and reaching out to that manufacturer.

This article covers all of these and more. It will serve as a guide to help you prepare for your project quote.

Some Design Guidelines for Custom CNC Machining

Here are some helpful design guidelines to help you achieve high-quality parts and reduce your manufacturing costs.

#1 Cavities

You should design cavities and pockets to have a depth that is less than four times the cavity width. This is because end mill tools have limited cutting length, so you might experience tool deflection and vibration when fabricating cavities with a smaller depth-to-width ratio.

However, if your product design requires a larger depth-to-width ratio, you will need specialty cutting tools, which might incur additional manufacturing costs.

#2 Wall Thickness

Thin walls are prone to vibration during CNC machining, which lowers machined parts’ achievable tolerance and accuracy. Therefore, as a rule, you should design metal parts to have a minimum wall thickness of 0.8 mm, while plastic parts should have a minimum wall thickness of 1.5 mm.

It’s possible to achieve thinner walls, but it usually comes with additional manufacturing costs.

#3 Holes

You should design holes to have standard diameters. This allows you to use standard drill bit sizes to create these holes and eliminates the need for specialty end mill tools. We also recommend that the depth of the hole is less than four times the end mill’s nominal diameter to minimize tool deflection.

#4 Tolerances

Tolerance is the allowable amount of variation in the size of a machined part that will still allow for it to function properly.

Product designers usually specify tolerances to manufacturers by stating the permissible limits of variation in a physical dimension. You can specify tolerances using the “±” symbol (pronounced “plus or minus”) and accompanied by a value, for example, ±0.05 mm. For instance, say you plan to fabricate a part with two holes (having a diameter of 21 ±0.25 mm), as shown in Figure 4.

In such a scenario, it simply means you permit a deviation of 0.25 mm extra (or less) than your standard diameter value. So, if your manufacturer fabricates a hole with a diameter of 21.25 mm or 20.75 mm, it won’t affect the proper function of your part.

CNC machines are among the most accurate manufacturing technologies, capable of achieving tight tolerances of up to ±0.04 mm. However, keep in mind that tighter tolerance requirements typically result in higher manufacturing costs.

Choose the Ideal Surface Finish

Although the CNC machining process is subtractive, it does a great job of producing parts with excellent surface finishes. The “as-machined” surface finish refers to machined parts coming straight from the CNC machines. These parts retain the accuracy of the manufacturing process and require no additional costs.

If your parts require additional post-processing options like anodizing or powder coating, then you can expect a higher project quote from your manufacturer.

Under the general trend of energy transformation and sustainable development, more and more families are beginning to pay attention to home energy storage systems, especially the application of home energy storage batteries. As a professional manufacturer of battery energy storage products, GreenMore is well aware of the importance users attach to energy independence, electricity cost control and environmental protection needs. So, is it worth it for families to use energy storage batteries? This article will provide you with an in-depth analysis from multiple dimensions.

1. What is a household energy storage battery?

Home energy storage batteries are devices that can store electrical energy and release it when needed, usually used in conjunction with solar photovoltaic systems. GreenMore's home energy storage batteries include wall-mounted energy storage batteries, stacked energy storage batteries, integrated energy storage batteries and other forms, with capacities ranging from 5kWh, 10kWh, 15kWh, and 20kWh, and support customized capacity to meet the electricity needs of different households.

2. Why are more and more families choosing energy storage batteries?

• Save electricity costs

By combining it with a solar power generation system, photovoltaic panels are used to generate electricity during the day and stored in energy storage batteries, which are then released for use at night or on cloudy days. This can greatly reduce dependence on grid electricity and significantly reduce monthly electricity bills.

The GreenMore energy storage system has high energy density and long cycle life, ensuring efficient and stable power supply.

• Improving energy independence

After installing energy storage batteries, households can maintain basic electricity consumption when the power grid is out, achieving energy self-sufficiency. Especially in areas with unstable power supply, energy storage systems are an important tool to ensure quality of life.

• Environmental protection and energy saving, helping achieve carbon neutrality

Green energy + energy storage system is the key combination to achieve a "zero-carbon home". By reducing dependence on fossil fuel power generation, energy storage batteries help reduce carbon emissions and contribute to global environmental protection.

 

 

3. Are home energy storage batteries really cost-effective?

This is the most concerned issue for many users. We analyze it from the following aspects:

✅ Initial investment vs long term returns

Although the initial investment in energy storage systems is high, the overall cost is decreasing year by year with technological progress and policy support (such as government subsidies, tax exemptions, etc.). Taking the GreenMore energy storage system as an example, its cycle life can reach more than 6,000 times and its service life can reach more than 10 years, which has a good cost-effectiveness in the long run.

✅ Is it suitable for your family?

• Does your home have a photovoltaic power generation system?
• Are electricity prices high in your area?
• Do you experience frequent power outages?
• Are you pursuing a low-carbon lifestyle?

If you answered “yes” to at least two of the above questions, then installing a home energy storage battery is well worth it.
