While the lathes and mills are traditionally used in plastics machining, Newact applies the usage of CNC Routers in production. Their CNC table routers provide advantages in the production process that sets Newact apart from common plastic and aluminum machining companies.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What makes Newact different?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Speed<\/strong><br \/>\nA CNC Router runs on average of 2x the speed of a mill. This allows for a better per piece price due to shorter production times. Using a CNC Router also allows for nesting and a reduction of waste, thereby limiting material and recycling costs.<br \/>\n<strong>Adaptability<\/strong><br \/>\nWith a 5\u2019 x 12\u2019 table size, Newact\u2019s CNC Routers are able to produce parts with a wide range of thickness, shapes, and quantities. With a larger cutting area, the CNC Router can out-perform a mill by producing larger pieces or additional number of parts using one piece of sheet to save on costs.<br \/>\n<strong>Quality<\/strong><br \/>\nNewact\u2019s CNC Routers have been excellent for holding unique shapes that require a high tolerance. From intricate inlays, curves and raised borders, the CNC Router has the ability to provide you with a reliable and quality part whether it\u2019s 1 piece or 100.<\/p>\n<p>Let the <a title=\"Home\" href=\"https:\/\/weigel-associates.com\/\">Weigel &amp; Associates<\/a> team help you with your next project or concept and allow us to show you why we are a leader in custom manufacturing solutions.
