In general, 3D printing and CNC machining are relatively common production processes in the field of precision machining. There are similarities and differences between the two. For example, CNC machining is suitable for mass production. It can create many products in less time than 3D printing takes hours to create one product. Next, the editor of the CNC processing factory will briefly introduce the advantages of CNC machining over 3D printing.

Comparing CNC machining with 3D printing, what advantages does CNC machining have? The main points are as follows:

1. Price and trading volume do not represent price

3D printing costs depend on the volume of material required. The final product quantity does not determine the price of a CNC machine. For larger orders, 3D printing is not cost-effective, which is where CNC machines thrive.

2. The level of tolerance rises

CNC machines are more precise, so parts have better tolerances than 3D printers. Prototypes that have shafts or connections to other parts will be of higher quality and more likely to fit the other parts due to the level of tolerance.

3. Quality is beneficial to CNC

Larger layers are faster for 3D printers, but not as high quality as smaller layers. If you need a prototype, you have the option of getting it quickly but at slightly lower quality, or waiting longer to get the best quality prototype your printer can offer. CNC machines allow you to choose the resolution of your items. They are available in varying qualities in a short amount of time, making them ideal for quick builds and instant test results.

4. Reduce costs

If you can choose which manufacturing method to use for your product, CNC machining is usually less expensive than 3D printing.
