CNC Grinding Design Guideline

CNC Grinding Design Guideline ensures optimal machining efficiency and high-precision results. Key considerations include radii, hole design, surface finish, tolerances, and wall thickness, enabling precise component production for industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical with superior surface quality.
>

Items

Suggestions

Radii and FilletsEnsure radii are ≥ 1 mm for smooth transitions;
sharper radii can cause tool wear or inaccuracies

Hole DesignKeep hole diameters ≥ 3 mm to ensure proper tool engagement and minimize tool deflection

Surface FinishAim for a Ra of 0.8-1.6 µm for general grinding,
0.1-0.4 µm for high-precision finishes

Wall Thickness≥ 1 mm for structural integrity;
thinner walls may lead to distortion during grinding

Chamfers and BevelsKeep chamfers ≥ 1 mm to avoid excessive tool pressure or potential part damage

Tool Access and ClearanceEnsure sufficient access space for the grinding wheel, typically ≥ 5 mm from the tool or fixture

Undercuts and Complex ShapesDesign for accessibility with grinding wheels;
avoid undercuts that complicate machining or require special tooling

Tolerances±0.1 mm for general grinding,
±0.02 mm for high-precision components

Min Grinding SizeThe minimum component size should be 3 mm to ensure adequate material removal and stability

Part GeometryDesign parts with balanced symmetry to avoid uneven grinding or distortion during machining
