Practices and trends in product design evolve as rapidly as technologies for building prototypes and end-use parts. CNC machining and 3D printing are at the forefront of production with their proven ability to reduce turnaround times and time to market. However, this creates growing competition and the pressure to make one-of-a-kind designs despite uncertainties about whether they will do well. Low-volume production can be the answer to avoiding the risks of mass production.
Vacuum casting is an ideal solution for creating production-grade parts without the lead time and cost of production tooling. With this method, you can make parts of any size, from small headphones to long car bumpers. Working with a reputable service provider gives you access to a wide range of materials to suit your project’s unique requirements.
Nowadays, a four-axis rotary table is a common piece of equipment in the machine shop. In order to complete the machining of multiple faces in one coordinate, the programming coordinates must be synchronized with the coordinates of the rotary table. In this article, we will share a method to determine the rotation center of a 4-axis rotary table.
At the core of this guitar is a meticulous fusion of contemporary and classical elements, resulting in showcases a sleek and modern aesthetic. It also needs to preserve the iconic features and tonal qualities of common guitars. WayKen reputation for precision and expertise in machining made us the perfect partner to help Raymond achieve this project.

Introduction to Sheet Metal Processing Sheet metal processing is a pivotal technology that sheet metal technical staff needs to grasp, and it is also an important process for forming sheet metal products. Sheet metal processing includes traditional methods and process parameters such as cutting and downgrading, punching and cutting processing, bending and forming, etc. It also includes various cold stamping die structures and process parameters, various equipment working principles and manipulation methods, and also includes new stamping technology and new processes.
When you’re in the process of searching for a 3D printing service, you’ll inevitably encounter various technologies, with prominent options being selective laser sintering and stereolithography. These two methods possess distinct characteristics that can profoundly influence the trajectory of your project, regardless of whether it’s intended for prototyping or producing a final functional part. Eventually, you’ll need to decide between opting for stereolithography (SLA) or selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printing service. Here’s a comprehensive guide that compares these technologies to help you determine the optimal choice for your specific project requirements.
Ika is a Canadian company that designs, manufactures, and distributes 100% natural deodorants in refillable and shiny aluminum containers. Ika approached WayKen, hoping to find a stable and reliable supplier to manufacture the deodorant housing. They would like to start from a prototype sample first and then proceed to low-volume production of 1000 units if the quality is to their liking.
Manufacturers process machined parts through different post-finishing operations to achieve specific properties. Knurling is one of these further processing cycles. As such, it offers attractive textured finishes for various custom parts by making patterns like crests and troughs on machined parts.
CNC machining is a conventional manufacturing technique that uses various cutting tools to shape materials. This machining operation results in the production of parts with high accuracy and precision. However, to function optimally, this machine requires the right CNC programming.
