Ce guide explore la sélection des matériaux, core machining processes, quality control measures, applications du monde réel, and why CNC machining is irreplaceable for 3C product manufacturing.
1. Critical Material Selection for CNC Machining 3C Products
The performance, poids, and cost of 3C products depend heavily on material choice. Produits 3C d'usinage CNC uses both metallic and non-metallic materials, each optimized for specific components. Below is a detailed breakdown of the most common materials, leurs propriétés, and ideal applications.
1.1 Material Comparison Chart
| Catégorie de matériau | Specific Materials | Propriétés clés | Ideal 3C Components | Machining Notes |
| Metallic Materials | Alliage d'aluminium (par ex., 6061, 7075) | – Excellente conductivité thermique/électrique. – Léger (densité: 2.7 g/cm³) + haute résistance. – Bonne usinabilité (low cutting force). | Smartphone/tablet shells, boîtiers d'ordinateurs portables, heat dissipation frames. | Use high-speed milling (3,000–6,000 RPM) pour surfaces lisses; post-process with anodization for corrosion resistance. |
| Acier inoxydable (par ex., 304, 316L) | – Haute résistance à la traction (500–700 MPa). – Résistance supérieure à la corrosion. – Harder than aluminum (requires specialized tools). | Mobile phone frames, supports d'objectif d'appareil photo, USB connectors. | Use coated carbide tools (TiAlN) to reduce wear; lower cutting speed (100–200 m/min) to avoid tool overheating. | |
| Copper Alloy (par ex., C1100, C3600) | – Exceptional electrical conductivity (98% de cuivre pur). – Good thermal conductivity. – Doux (prone to burrs during machining). | Computer CPU coolers, mobile phone heat sinks, circuit board connectors. | Use sharp tools (high rake angle) to minimize burrs; control cutting temperature (<150°C) to avoid thermal deformation. | |
| Non-Metallic Materials | Plastiques techniques (par ex., ABS, PC/ABS, Pennsylvanie) | – Léger (densité: 1.0–1.2 g/cm³). – Haute résistance aux chocs + good insulation. – Low cost vs. métaux. | 3C product shells (par ex., wireless earbud cases), boutons, internal brackets. | Use high-speed milling (8,000–12 000 tr/min) for high surface quality; avoid high temperatures (point de fusion: 180–250°C). |

2. Core CNC Machining Processes for 3C Products
Produits 3C d'usinage CNC involves a sequential workflow to transform raw materials into precise, composants fonctionnels. Each process step is optimized for 3C products’ small size (souvent <100mm) et des tolérances serrées (±0,01 mm). Below is the step-by-step process, with key details for each stage.
2.1 Step-by-Step Machining Workflow
- Coupe (Préparation du matériel)
- But: Trim raw materials (par ex., aluminum blocks, feuilles de plastique) into small, manageable blanks (size slightly larger than the final component).
- Équipement: Sawing machines (pour les métaux), laser cutters (for plastics/ceramics), or waterjet cutters (for heat-sensitive materials like copper).
- Key Requirement: Ensure blank flatness (≤0.1 mm) to avoid machining errors in subsequent steps.
- Usinage grossier
- But: Quickly remove 80–90% of excess material to form the component’s basic shape (par ex., smartphone shell outline, camera lens holder cavity).
- Processus: Use CNC milling machines (3-axis or 5-axis) with large-diameter tools (10–16 mm) for high material removal rate.
- Parameters: Depth of cut (2–5mm), vitesse d'avance (0.1–0.3 mm/rev), vitesse de broche (2,000–4,000 RPM for metals; 5,000–8,000 RPM for plastics).
- Finishing Machining
- But: Achieve the final dimensional accuracy and surface quality required for 3C products.
- Processus: Use small-diameter, high-precision tools (2–6 mm) and CNC lathes (for cylindrical parts like USB connectors).
- Critical Parameters:
- Contrôle de tolérance: ±0.005–±0.01 mm (par ex., camera lens holder concentricity).
- Rugosité de la surface: Râ < 0.8 µm (for visible components like phone shells).
- Vitesse de broche: 4,000–8 000 tr/min (métaux); 8,000–12 000 tr/min (plastiques).
- Forage & Tapotement
- Forage: Create small holes (0.5–3 mm) for screws, positioning pins, or heat dissipation. Use high-precision drill bits (tolerance H7) and peck drilling (intermittent feeding) to avoid chip clogging.
- Tapotement: Machine internal threads (M1 à M3) in drilled holes for component assembly (par ex., attaching phone shells to internal brackets). Use spiral-flute taps for metals and straight-flute taps for plastics.
- Key Check: Ensure hole position accuracy (≤0.02 mm) to avoid assembly misalignment.
- Chanfreinage
- But: Supprimer les arêtes vives (left by cutting/drilling) to improve user safety (par ex., no sharp corners on phone frames) and component fit.
- Outils: Chamfering knives (pour les métaux) or grinding wheels (for ceramics).
- Standard: Chamfer size 0.1–0.5 mm (small enough to be unnoticeable, but effective at eliminating sharpness).
- Polissage (Post-traitement)
- But: Enhance surface appearance and corrosion resistance (pour les métaux).
- Méthodes:
- Polissage mécanique: Use abrasive papers (400–2,000 grit) pour les métaux; buffing wheels for mirror-like finishes (par ex., stainless steel phone frames).
- Polissage chimique: For aluminum alloys—immerse in chemical solutions to remove surface defects (faster than mechanical polishing for large batches).
- Polissage électrochimique: For copper components—improves conductivity while polishing (ideal for heat sinks).
3. Strict Quality Control for CNC Machined 3C Products
3C products demand near-perfect quality—even tiny defects (par ex., un 0.02 mm misalignment) can cause functional failures (par ex., camera lens blur, loose component fit). Produits 3C d'usinage CNC uses four layers of quality control to ensure compliance with design standards.

FAQ: Common Questions About CNC Machining 3C Products
- Q: Why is aluminum alloy the most common material for 3C product shells?
UN: Aluminum alloy balances three critical needs for 3C shells: 1) Léger (reduces product weight—e.g., a 150g phone vs. 200g with stainless steel); 2) Bonne usinabilité (fast milling, low tool wear); 3) Attrait esthétique (anodization creates colorful, scratch-resistant finishes). It’s also cheaper than titanium or stainless steel for large-volume production.
- Q: What’s the difference between 3-axis and 5-axis CNC machining for 3C products?
UN: 3-axis CNC machines move along X/Y/Z axes—ideal for simple, flat components (par ex., laptop brackets). 5-axis machines add two rotational axes, enabling machining of complex curved surfaces (par ex., smartphone camera bumps, curved phone shells) in one setup—reducing assembly errors and cutting production time by 20–30%.
- Q: How do you avoid burrs when CNC machining 3C products, especially plastics and copper?
UN: Pour les plastiques: Use sharp, high-rake-angle tools (to minimize material tearing) and high spindle speeds (8,000–12 000 tr/min). For copper: Use spiral-flute tools (to evacuate chips quickly) and peck feeding (intermittent cutting to reduce heat buildup). Post-traitement (par ex., ultrasonic cleaning for plastics, electrochemical deburring for copper) also removes remaining burrs.
