CNC stepover is the distance between successive passes of a cutting tool during computer numerical control (CNC) machining. It’s a critical parameter because it affects both the machining time and surface finish of your parts. Different machining operations need different stepover values, and the optimal value to use also accounts for the tool and the […]

Extrusion and injection molding can both produce plastic and rubber parts. However, extrusion shapes a material into a cross-sectional shape by forcing it through a tool called a die and injection molding introduces material into the tool cavity or “mold.”. This article examines extrusion and injection molding in detail so you can determine whether extrusion […]
