Titanium CNC Machining Cost Reduction Guide
Reduce titanium machining costs through design and process optimisation.
1. Design Optimisation
Increase corner radii for standard tools. Relax tolerances. Combine features.
2. Material Optimisation
Near-net shapes forging DMLS. Grade 5 over 23 when ELI not needed.
3. Process Optimisation
High-feed milling for roughing. Trochoidal paths for deep slots.
4. Supplier Collaboration
Share volumes for better pricing. Provide 3D models. Allow alternative methods.
