FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common technical and procurement questions for machining, manufacturing, and purchasing teams.

Can you help with tough machining problems or parts other shops turned away?
Yes, absolutely. Solving tough machining problems is one of our primary core strengths. Over 30 years of shop-floor experience provides us with deep troubleshooting expertise: eliminating chatter on thin-walled aerospace housings, managing tool deflection, achieving fine surface finishes on difficult polymers like PEEK and Delrin, and designing custom 3D-printed soft jaws to securely fixture awkward geometries.
What are the specifications of your CNC milling center?
We operate the FANUC RoboDrill α-D14MiB Plus high-speed vertical machining center. It features a working envelope of 500 x 400 x 330 mm (19.7" x 15.7" x 13.0"), 54 m/min rapid traverses, high-rigidity BBT30 Big Plus spindle taper, 14-tool automatic tool changer, and high-speed rigid tapping.
What additive manufacturing / 3D printing capabilities do you offer?
We operate both the Bambu Lab X1-Carbon and the Snapmaker J1s IDEX 3D printers. The X1-Carbon allows us to print high-strength carbon-fiber reinforced composites (PA-CF, PET-CF) and engineering polymers (Polycarbonate, ABS/ASA). The Snapmaker J1s features an independent dual extruder (IDEX) capable of printing water-soluble PVA support structures for complex internal cavities, as well as rapid parallel production in copy and mirror modes.
How do you handle inspection without a CMM?
We utilize a dual inspection methodology: a high-resolution 3D optical scanner that captures full-field surface point clouds and produces color-coded CAD-to-part deviation heatmaps, complemented by precision manual metrology (calibrated digital height gages on Grade A granite plates, precision micrometers, bore gages, and Class X gage pins).
Can you produce custom soft jaws or machining fixtures for complex parts?
Yes. With our in-house Bambu Lab X1-Carbon and Snapmaker J1s printers, we design and 3D print custom conforming carbon-fiber or durable polymer soft jaws, nesting blocks, and inspection holding fixtures in hours. This enables secure, mar-free workholding in the RoboDrill for delicate medical components and complex aerospace castings.
What CAD and 3D model formats do you accept for quotes?
For CNC machining, we prefer STEP (.stp, .step), IGES (.igs), Parasolid (.x_t), or SolidWorks (.sldprt) files, alongside 2D PDF drawings for tolerances and critical callouts. For additive 3D printing, we accept STL, 3MF, STEP, and OBJ files. Email your models directly to Info@silverfoxmfg.com.
