Why CNC Parts Fail in Real Applications — And How Custom Machining Fixes It
Many buyers assume that a CNC part fails because of poor machining accuracy.
In reality, most failures happen after installation, not on the machine.
Common real-world failure reasons:
Improper material selection for load or temperature
Tolerance defined without considering assembly conditions
Sharp internal corners causing stress concentration
Surface finish not matching the working environment
How custom CNC machining solves these issues:
Instead of blindly following drawings, experienced CNC manufacturers analyze:
Load direction and working frequency
Contact surfaces and friction points
Thermal expansion and deformation risks
For example, a part machined to ±0.01 mm tolerance may still fail if:
The mating part expands under heat
The assembly requires slight elastic deformation
Surface roughness increases wear faster than expected
True CNC customization is not about “cutting metal”, but about making parts survive real use.
