Design for Machinability — Titanium Part Engineering
DFM rules for CNC-machined titanium parts: dimensional tolerances, wall thickness, corner radii, thread specifications, hole geometry, and feature accessibility.

Why this matters
A drawing that looks identical to a stainless-steel print will produce a scrap rate of 30 to 60 percent when machined in titanium if DFM rules are ignored. Wall thickness below 1.0 mm with high aspect ratio, sharp internal corners below R0.5, blind holes deeper than 6 times diameter, and tight plus-minus 0.025 mm flatness on thin features are the most common triggers. Engineers who internalize the DFM checklist below cut both lead time and per-part cost — typically 15 to 30 percent — without changing the part function.
