Feasibility of sharp internal corners in CNC-machined
J
I’m about to place a CNC machining order for a small ABS housing with some detailed features, but I’m unsure if the internal recess can be manufactured as designed. The model includes sharp internal edges and small chamfered corners. The outer chamfer is around 0.2 mm at 45°, and internal corners are close to 90° with minimal fillets. Has anyone machined similar features in ABS before? I’d like to avoid redesigning if this is doable within typical machining constraints.
