Processing Materials Other than PCB

When fabricating materials other than PCBs, there are following prominent examples:

A. Counter boring, curving out, fabricating surface of materials with approximately 3mm thickness

Samples

This is capable with general prototyping machine. However, the user is required to
set and adjust the projection of the tool bit (milling depth) manually for counter boring
and curving out.

B. Counter boring, curving out, fabricating surface of materials with approximately 20mm thickness

Samples

C. Fabricating thick materials with 2.5-dimensional method

Samples


The concept of MITS is:

B.C

(1)	When the thickness of material is fairly thick, it is necessary to check if there are enough spaces for the material to be placed in between the tip of the tool bit and machine tables (Z axis strokes). Please check "Maximum thickness of processed material" under the specification for each machine.
(2)	It is also necessary to have the "Stepping Milling Method" function on the prototyping machine. (Read more) The point to perform such a fabrication is whether the Z axis can be numerically-controlled or not.

Model	Maximum Thickness of Processed Material	Stepping Milling Method	Z axis Numerically-Control
Eleven Lab Auto Lab	10mm	Yes	Yes
FP-21T FP-21T Precision	30mm	Yes	Yes
Competitors	8 to 14mm	No	No
