CNC обработени шахматни фигури

Some concepts remain forever relevant, while other aspirations remain hidden in your thoughts until the perfect combination of people brings them to existence.

Our team at ВЪРХОВЕ worked on a unique CNC machined chess piece (set) проект, which a retired mechanical engineer designed decades ago before its 30-year wait to become reality. 

The project required more than metal-cutting operations. It takes precision to turn a personal idea into a real product. We use our full CNC machining skills at TOPS to make it happen.

      A Childhood Sketch Rekindled After Decades

      Our client started the project with a sketch from the 1990s, which he had preserved in its original state. The engineer envisioned a chess set made from solid aluminum with geometric shapes and mechanical design elements, which he had first sketched as a child. The project remained unfinished.

      The pandemic lockdown became the turning point that changed everything. Time slowed, and old ideas resurfaced. The client contacted TOPS with his sketch to bring his long-abandoned project to life, although he doubted his ability to achieve it after three decades.

      Turning Hand Drawings into Precise CNC Machined Chess Parts

      На първо място, we convert a hand-drawn sketch into an exact digital format (CAD model). Our Engineers worked with the client to create exact 3D CAD models through which they accurately represented all design elements.

      Material choice comes next. The team selected 6061-Т6 алуминий as the final material because it provided the optimal combination of strength and weight and produced an attractive matte finish after bead blasting.

      The client required exact precision in his design because he needed ±0.01mm tolerance for critical elements such as the king’s crown and pawnsbases to achieve a perfect fit and balance.

        Прецизна обработка на ЦПУ: Crafting Each Piece With Care

        Our company operates beyond machine operation because we create with deliberate intention. employs their state-of-the-art 4-axis and 5-axis CNC centers to transform solid billet aluminum into individual chess pieces.

        The king and queen required special focus because their design required curved and angular elements that needed multiple tool changes and precise programming. The turning centers at our facility produced bases with perfect surface quality and balance to maintain stability during gameplay.

        The entire set received bead blasting treatment followed by anodizing in black and silver colors, which produced a durable finish that needed no paint or polishing. The company delivered the complete chess set to the client within 07 business days after starting work.

        Delivering Dreams On Time, Every Time

        The chess set represents more than a simple game piece. A 30-year dream finally became reality through TOPS' precise work and professional approach. The client expressed complete satisfaction with our work because we exceeded all his expectations.

            често задавани въпроси

            • CNC machining offers two main advantages critical for premium pieces: unparalleled precision and unique design capability.

              1. Прецизност: ЦПУ machining ensures that all pieces of the same type (напр., all Knights) are dimensionally identical, maintaining tight tolerances (as low as 0.01 мм) for perfect balance and weighting.

              2. Сложност: It allows for the rapid and precise manufacturing of complex geometries, deep undercuts, and intricate features that would be difficult, непоследователно, or impossible to achieve with standard manual turning or rapid prototyping methods.

            • Internal weighting is managed during the design and machining phases to ensure a low center of gravity (COG) за стабилност:

              • Design Phase: The CAD model is engineered with internal cavities optimized to hold weight inserts (typically brass or lead). The COG is calculated to sit low, enhancing the piece’s stability and resistance to tipping.

              • Машинна обработка: The ЦПУ process precisely machines these internal cavities. След обвързване, weights are securely inserted and often sealed before the final surface finishing is applied, guaranteeing consistency across the entire set.

            да. As a custom machining service provider, TOPS specializes in accommodating unique material requests beyond common brass or aluminum.

            • Customers can specify high-performance materials like Титан (for strength and light weight) или Инструментална стомана (for exceptional heft).

            • For finishes, we can offer custom анодиране colors for aluminum (напр., deep blue or matte black) or specialized treatments like DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) покрития for extreme durability and a unique appearance on steel components.

            The complexity of the piece dictates the machining axis used, directly influencing cost:

            • 3-ос: Suitable for pieces with simple, top-down features (напр., Pawns, Rooks). Lower cost and faster cycle time.

            • 4-ос: Necessary for parts requiring radial features (like turning a King’s shaft) or simple engraving around a cylindrical body. Moderate increase in complexity and cost.

            • 5-ос: Essential for the most complex pieces (напр., на Knight, which has compound angles, подбивания, and intricate facial features). This is the highest cost but provides the best finish and eliminates the need for multiple manual setups, ensuring precision.

            Consistency is maintained through standardized, repeatable finishing protocols:

            • Standardized Ра Values: Every piece is machined to a specific roughness target (Ра) before finishing (напр., Ра 0.8 \mum for fine machining).

            • Automated Finishing: Processes like Бластиране на мъниста и Електрополиране are often conducted in controlled batches using automated equipment to ensure uniform texture and reflectivity across all 32 парчета, eliminating the variation inherent in manual finishing techniques.
