Machining
Milling, turning, grinding and EDM remove material to establish geometry. Tool access, workholding, material condition and inspection govern feasible tolerances.

Manufacturing processes.
Compare process families before selecting a production route. This library describes general methods; it does not imply that Digital Machine offers every process in-house.
Finishing
Anodizing, plating, passivation and coating processes affect dimensions, corrosion resistance and surface properties. Specify the governing process, masking and inspection requirements.
Explore the reference →Heat treatment
Hardening, aging, annealing and stress relief alter material properties and can distort geometry. Plan stock allowances and the inspection sequence with a qualified processor.
Explore the reference →Casting and forging
Near-net blanks can reduce stock removal at production volume. Tooling cost, material integrity, draft and machining allowances require early review.
Explore the reference →Sheet metal
Bending, punching and cutting suit thin-wall parts. Bend radius, material condition, springback and tooling affect the developed blank.
Explore the reference →Additive and molding
Complex internal geometry or high-volume polymer parts may favor these processes. Critical interfaces can still require finish machining and independent inspection.
