What's CNC Machining?

CNC machining is the manufacture and processing of parts and products under computer control.

CNC Machining involves the use of computer numerical control (CNC) machines to shape and resize a piece of material, or workpiece, by automatically removing material. Typically, the material used is plastic or metal, and when removal is complete, the finished product or product has been produced.

This process is also known as subtractive manufacturing. For CNC machining, a computer application is used to control the movement of the machine tool.

Types of common CNC machine tools

CNC machining processes include the most common milling and turning, followed by grinding, electrical discharge machining, etc.

Milling

Milling is the application of a rotary tool to the workpiece surface, moving along 3, 4 or 5 axes. Milling is basically the cutting or trimming of workpieces, allowing complex geometries and precision parts to be quickly machined from metals or thermoplastics.

Turing

Turning is the use of a lathe to manufacture parts containing cylindrical features. The workpiece rotates on a shaft and contacts a precision turning tool to form rounded edges, radial and axial holes, grooves and grooves.

Advantages of CNC machining

Compared to traditional manual machining, CNC machining is much faster. As long as the computer code is correct and conforms to the design, the finished product has high dimensional accuracy and small errors.

CNC manufacturing is an ideal rapid prototyping manufacturing method. It can also be used to manufacture end-use products and components, but is usually only cost-effective in low-volume, short-run production runs.
