At Tech Tune CNC, our experts are here to help you select the most suitable material for your specific application, ensuring that your parts meet all required performance criteria. Let’s make sure your next project is engineered for success from the ground up!

Design Guidelines

Our basic guidelines for CNC milling include important design considerations to help improve Part manufacturability, enhance cosmetic appearance, and reduce overall production time. 

  1. Plastic and soft metals: Minimum width of 0.018 in. (0.457mm), depth of 0.0118 in. (0.3mm). Example text size would be 16 point Arial Rounded MT font.
  2. Hard metals: Minimum width of 0.033 in. (0.838mm) and depth of 0.0118 in. (0.3mm). Example text size would be 22 point Arial Rounded MT font.
  3. If design permits it, option for recessed text versus raised.
