If you’re designing a part and wondering how much it would cost to produce via CNC machining, you’re not alone. Price is often the most critical factor—especially for prototypes, small-batch runs, or cost-sensitive applications.
This guide explains what really affects CNC machining cost, what you can do to reduce it, and how to get …
In precision manufacturing, selecting the right machining method is more than a technical choice—it’s a strategic one. Understanding when to use CNC milling versus turning can save time, reduce costs, and improve the performance of your final parts.
At Jeek Rapid, we often see clients unsure which process best suits their designs. This guide breaks …
In prototype development, it’s easy to focus solely on performance and appearance. But when a design hits the production floor, manufacturability becomes the real test. A great concept can fail—not because it doesn’t work—but because it can’t be built efficiently.
That’s where Design for Manufacturability (DFM) plays a critical role. For CNC machining and low-volume …
In the world of product development, functionality and form are equally important. For engineers and designers working on structural or enclosure components, custom aluminum extrusion is a go-to manufacturing process—especially when unique profiles, weight optimization, and cost efficiency matter.
But what exactly is custom aluminum extrusion, and when does it make sense to use it …
When bringing a product to market, timing, cost, and technical accuracy all matter. That’s why low-volume manufacturing has become essential for hardware startups, design engineers, and R&D teams looking to validate ideas without committing to full-scale production.
Two of the most widely used methods for low-volume production are CNC machining and injection molding. Both …
