Many CNC machining failures are not due to poor design or manufacturing, but to missing design intent. This article explains why communicating design rationale is essential, with real-world cases and practical measures to ensure smoother collaboration between designers and manufacturers.

Common Assembly Design Mistakes in CNC Machining and Sheet Metal Fabrication

2025-09-11

In both CNC machining services and sheet metal fabrication projects, engineers often design parts that look perfect in CAD but fail during assembly.
The main issues are not exotic — they come from overlooking assembly clearance, fastening methods, accessibility, and clear annotations.

This article summarizes four key mistakes with real industry cases, practical improvements, and an engineering checklist for battery enclosures, sheet metal housings, brackets, and precision machined parts.
